EMP v2 - ESSENCE OF PEREGIAN 215 DAVID LOW WAY, PEREGIAN BEACH

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



1. Introduction

North Coast Environmental Services have been commissioned by Thomco No 2087 Pty Ltd to
prepare an Environmental Management Plan to manage impacts to the environmental values
associated with Lot 1 on SP286680; located at 215 David Low Way in Peregian Beach (referenced
hereafter as ‘the site’). The impacts are anticipated to arise as a result of the approved construction
of 19 x 3+ bedroom units, one (1) manager’s unit and a motel building containing 32 units. The site
is proposed to be reconfigured from one (1) Lot into three (3) Lots (MCU16/0153 REC16/0041).
The site layout has been prepared by Reddoor Architecture (refer Attachment A).

3. Statutory and Policy Requirements

Thomco and all members of the project team have a “General Environmental Duty” under Section
319 of the Environmental Protection Act 1994 (EP Act). The General Environmental Duty makes
it an offence under the Act to carry out any activity that causes, or is likely to cause, environmental
harm unless all reasonable and practical measures have been taken to prevent or minimise the
potential harm.

To minimise environmental harm, it is necessary to assess what environmental conditions exist
on-site and to identify potential environmental impacts of the proposed development. In addition
to the EP Act, all development must comply with the relevant provisions of Commonwealth and
State Legislation including but not limited to:

    •    Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act)
         (Commonwealth);
    •    Planning Act 2016 (Planning Act);
    •    Nature Conservation Act 1992 (NC Act);
