Essence of Peregian Beach Project v2
Environmental Management Plan (Construction and Operation)




4. Environmental Management

4.1 General
The following sections identify specific environmental aspects that may be impacted by
construction works and outline:

    •    Objectives that apply to each identified aspect;
    •    Potential issues that may arise as a result of construction works within the Project area;
    •    Potential issues that may arise from operation; and
    •    Relevant legislation that may be triggered.

4.3 Vegetation Management and Fauna Protection
The following general objectives have been identified for the construction and operation phase of
the works with respect to vegetation and fauna management:

     •    Relevant investigations and approvals will be obtained prior to commencement of clearing
          works;
     •    No disturbance of vegetated areas shall occur outside the designated work area; and
     •    Appropriate measures are to be implemented to minimise any impact on fauna and their
          potential habitat.
A Fauna Management Plan has been prepared for this project (NCES, 2019) and the directives
prescribed therein are to be adhered to regarding the management of vegetation and fauna during
clearing works.

4.4 Water Quality and Erosion and Sediment Control
Objectives relating to erosion and sediment control for the construction and operation phase of the
works include:

    •    To comply with the relevant State Planning Policy Water Quality Objectives; and
    •    To minimise impacts to water quality by managing erosion risk and effectively containing
         sediment entrained run-off generated within the construction area.

The Project area is located adjacent to a Noosa Council Environmental Reserve and Noosa
National Park. Run-off from the construction site is likely to contain sediment that could negatively
impact water quality.

An Erosion and Sediment Control Plan must be prepared and approved by Council prior to site
clearing and earthworks commencing. Adequate erosion and sediment controls must be in place
prior to the commencement of works to minimise the possibility of sediment entering the Reserve
and National Park. Erosion and sediment control devices must be maintained for the duration of
site works. Clean stormwater from upslope of the construction area should be diverted around the
extent of disturbance to maintain clean flows into the drainage line along the western side of the
site.

The Contractor is responsible for establishing adequate controls to prevent erosion and
sedimentation adversely affecting receiving environments.

4.5 Weed Control and Pest Management
The following objectives have been identified for the construction and operation phase of the works
with respect to weed control and pest management:
