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.
        The response should include a flora and fauna plan which includes:
                  Assessment of site utilisation by threatened species (fauna);
                  Flora survey, undertaken in accordance with the Flora Survey Guideline available
                   at https://www.ehp.qld.gov.au/licences-permits/plants-animals/documents/flora-
                   survey-guidelines.pdf;
                  Details of the impacts of the proposed development on present flora and fauna,
                   including on site and adjacent flora and fauna.
                  Consideration of the Significant Residual Impact Guideline available at
                   http://www.ehp.qld.gov.au/assets/documents/pollution/management/offsets/signific
                   ant-residual-impact-guide.pdf;
                  Details of any mitigation measures for impacts of the proposed development;
                  Details of any proposed offsets (if applicable) in accordance with the Queensland
                   Environmental Offsets Policy available at
                   https://www.qld.gov.au/enviornment/pollution/management/offsets/.


        Note: A Species Management Plan may be developed to show mitigation and
        management measures to be undertaken for on-site wildlife identified as a result of survey
        for Threatened Species. A Species Management Plan may include:
                  Identification of locations utilised as key habitat areas on-site and in adjacent
                   areas.
                  Actions to be undertaken to ensure than locations utilised are not interfered with
                   as a result of the proposed development.
                  Working arrangements for activities which may tamper with breeding places.


        Koala Habitat Tree Survey
        The application identifies koala habitat trees to be cleared for the proposed development.
        The application provides insufficient information to determine the impact of the proposed
        development on the balance habitat and population.


        The applicant is requested to demonstrate how the proposed development avoids,
        minimises and offsets the impacts of the proposed development on koala values.
        The response should include a Koala Habitat Tree Survey which includes:
                  Whole of site utilisation by koalas and carrying capacity of the site.
                  Full extent of impact from the proposed development on koala values, including
                   values on site after clearing and efficacy of balance values to accommodate
