Item Information requested
Schedule 7, Table 2, Item 14 – Coastal management district
The application is assessed against the State Development Assessment Provisions (SDAP)
Version 1.5, Dated 10 October 2014.
Background
The proposed development is for subdivision of land within the coastal management district
resulting in 11 lots and a balance lot. The subject site is mapped as containing Matters of State
Environmental Significance and being within the erosion prone area.
SDAP Module 10.1 Tidal works, or development in a coastal management district state code,
Table 10.1.1 All development.
1.      Performance outcome 6 – Erosion prone areas
        The current state mapping shows the proposed development within the erosion prone
        areas. The erosion prone area is to be maintained as a development free buffer. The
        application proposes a corrected erosion prone area based on the highest astronomical
        tides on the 2014 Queensland Tide Tables.

        The applicant is requested to provide a plan which shows the full extent of the proposed
        correct erosion prone area over the subject site in relation to the proposed development.
2.      Performance outcome 9 – Matters of State Environmental Significance (MSES)
        High Ecological Significance (HES) Wetland
        The proposed development is located over, and in proximity to, a HES Wetland. The
        proposal includes development over areas mapped as HES Wetland and stormwater
        discharge into the HES Wetland. Additionally, development in proximity to a HES Wetland
        has potential to disrupt the ecological function of the wetland.
        The applicant is requested to demonstrate how the proposed development avoids,
        minimises, and offsets the impacts from the proposed development on the HES Wetland.
        The response should be provided:
                  In accordance with the Queensland Wetland Buffer Guideline available at
                   http://wetlandinfo.ehp.qld.gov.au/resources/static/pdf/resources/reports/buffer-
                   guide/wetland-buffer-guideline-14-04-13.pdf;
                  With consideration given to the Significant Residual Impact Guideline available at
                   http://www.ehp.qld.gov.au/assets/documents/pollution/management/offsets/signific
                   ant-residual-impact-guide.pdf; and
                  In accordance with the Queensland Environmental Offsets Policy (if applicable)
                   available at https://www.qld.gov.au/environment/pollution/management/offsets/.


        Flora and fauna
        A variety of Threatened Species are anticipated to occur on site. Insufficient information
        has been provided to determine the impact on any occurring species as a result of the
        proposed development.
        The applicant is requested to demonstrate how the proposed development avoids,
        minimises, and offsets the impacts from the proposed development on the MSES flora
        and fauna present on site.
