Additional information for the assessment manager

The Environmental Protection Agency referral agency jurisdiction for the development application is confined to
that aspect of the application involving the triggers identified in the response. EPA has no referral agency
jurisdiction in relation to other aspects of the development application.

In this regard it should be noted that the State Coasta/ Management Plan 2001 and SEQ Regional Coastal
Management Plan 2006 which, for the purposes of making a statutory decision, has the same effect as a state
planning policy. The assessment manager is required to give due consideration to the relevant State planning
policies when deciding the application.

Additional information for applicants

This approval is to be utilised concurrently with the most current development approval issued for dredging
works associated with the sand shifting facility at Noosa Beach (IPDE01113208). Reference should be made to
the conditions of the dredging approval when undertaking operational works associated with the sand shifting
activity.

It is a requirement of the Environmental Protection Act 1994 that if the owner or occupier of this site becomes
aware a Notifiable Activity (as defined under Schedule 2 of the Environmental Protection Act 1994) is being
carried out on this land or that the land has been affected by a hazardous contaminant, they must, within twenty
two (22) business days after becoming aware the activity is being carried out, give notice to the Environmental

Protection Agency. A list of Notifiable Activities is provided within Schedule 2 of the Environmental Protection
Act 1994.

This concurrence response pursuant to the Integrated Planning Act 1997 and assessed against section 104 of
the Coastal Protection and Management Act 1995 does not remove the need to obtain any further approvals for
this development which may be required pursuant to this or other legislation, both State and Commonwealth.
Applicants are advised to check with all relevant statutory authorities for such approvals as may be required.
