DERM ref. no. 381925         Permit No. SPCC0372812


Background

Development within the coastal zone is regulated under the Coastal Protection and Management Act
1995 (Coastal Act). The Department of Environment and Resource Management (DERM) is responsible for
making decisions about development proposals in coastal areas for their impacts on "coastal management".
The Coastal Act describes "coastal management" as including the protection, conservation, rehabilitation,
management and ecologically sustainable development of the coastal zone.

The State Coastal Management Plan - Queensland's Coastal Policy (State Coastal Plan) establishes the
long-term vision for the coast, identifies outcomes and principles for coastal management and includes
policies for coastal use and development and the conservation, management and enhancement of coastal
resources and their values.
The coastal management outcomes, principles or policies are to be read as an integrated package in the
context of the Coastal Act. They are to be considered when assessing applications pursuant to legislative
responsibilities. Decision makers will be required to take into account the aspects of this Plan relevant to the
particular situation.


Information Required:
1) Please supply information as outlined in the guideline Reconfiguring a lot in a coastal management
district. This information should demonstrate how the policies of the State Coastal Plan are achieved.


2) The attached Coastal Management Control District No.8 (Sunshine Beach North) map depicts the set
back requirements for the erection of structures.. This coastal building line dissects the lot.. Please
demonstrate how you have considered the Coastal Building Line in your proposal.
