2304-34319 SRA - Information request

                                                                                             2304-34319 SRA



            A quarry material allocation is needed where dredging activity results in the removal of
            material from land under tidal waters on State Coastal Land and where the material is
            disposed of above the high water mark and/or outside of the active coastal system.

            If the proposed development involves removing quarry material from land under tidal water
            to above the high water mark or removed from the active tidal system on State Coastal
            Land, an allocation of quarry material under section 73 of the Coastal Protection and
            Management Act 1995 will need to be obtained. Please note an allocation of quarry material
            permit only allows access to the material. A relevant development approval for tidal works
            and an environmental authority for dredging is also required for the removal of the material
            from tidal waters.

            Applications for Allocations of Quarry Material (AQM) are to be forwarded to DES directly.
            Advice on AQMs may be provided through SARA or further information is available in the
            Dredging and Allocation of Quarry Material Guideline (ESR/2016/1979 Dredging and
            allocation of quarry material (des.qld.gov.au)).

            The following information should accompany an application for an allocation of quarry
            material:
                Plans drawn to a suitable scale to show:
                        o The boundaries dredged basin, adjacent river banks, sand banks and
                             shorelines, showing the line of high water mark (mean high water spring),
                             the limit of vegetation and any other details to permit the identification of
                             the tidal land on the ground.
                        o A hydrographic survey of the land on lines not more than 20 meters apart.
                        o A proposed area(s) where the quarry material will be taken ashore or
                             transported over, and the proposed location of any stockpile, reclamation,
                             disposal or fill areas.
                        o Adjacent real property boundaries, roads and any esplanade.
                        o Navigation channels, navigation aids, pipelines, cables, wharves and any
                             other structures or harbour works located in or adjacent to the land to be
                             dredged.
                Plans showing the depth of dredging and the anticipated final alignment and slope
                    of batters, together with an indication as to whether this work will result in a stable
                    alignment or if recurrent maintenance dredging will be required.
                Characteristics of quarry material to be removed. For material to be disposed of
                    within the marine environment, the characteristics of the material and potential
                    impacts at the disposal site, as required under the National Assessment Guidelines
                    for Dredging 2009.
                Purpose/use of the quarry material.
                Methods of extraction of quarry material and disposal of dredge spoil (including
                    equipment to be used).
                Maximum extraction rate of quarry material in cubic meters per year.
                Agreement form:
                        o Owner(s) of land on which the material is to be deposited or stockpiled and
                        o Owner(s) of land which the material will be transported either by pipeline or
                             truck
                A statement addressing how the proposed works meet section 75 and 104 of the
                    Coastal Protection and Management Act 1995.
                The views of a local government about the removal of the quarry material or
