               9.     The deck must have a level-walking surface and match smoothly with the adjacent surfaces.
               10.    A rigid handrail must be fitted along the top of the new revetment wall where the revetment
                      wall is over 1m high. Any necessary handrail must be of an open design.
               11.    No vessels or boatlifting devices are to be attached to the structure.
               12.    There must be no electrical reticulation system carrying electricity in excess of 24 volts
                      beyond the revetment wall unless all switches and power outlets are positioned above the
                      1%AEP flood level.
               13.    Lighting associated with the use must be designed, installed, operated, and maintained in
                      accordance with Section 3 of AS4282 Control of the Obtrusive Effects of Outdoor Lighting.
               14.    Any construction and post construction activity is not to impact on the condition of the
                      waterway, and is to be conducted so as not to breach the Environmental Protection Act EPA
                      (1994) and the Environmental Protection (Water) Policy 2009.
               15.    The developer must meet any costs to repair damage to any Council asset during
                      construction, where damage is a result of the development works. Damage to assets must
                      be repaired immediately where it creates a hazard to the community. In circumstances where
                      the damage does not create a hazard to the community, it must be repaired immediately on
                      completion of the works associated with the development.
                      Erosion and Sediment Control
               16.    Prescribed Water Contaminants (as defined in Schedule 10 of Environmental Protection
                      Regulation 2019) must not be released from the site or to waters within the site, or be likely
                      to be released should rainfall occur, unless all reasonable and practicable measures are
                      taken to prevent or minimise the release and concentration of contamination.
               17.    Sediment and erosion control measures must be in place prior to works commencing. If such
                      measures are not in place or are not satisfactory, “on the spot” fines may be issued. Such
                      fines can be issued if sediments from the site are found to enter or have the potential to enter
                      Council’s stormwater system, natural waterways, any downstream stormwater filtration
                      system or adversely impacting on other properties. The sediment and erosion control design
                      and measures have NOT been approved, it is the site's Supervising Engineer who is
                      responsible for ensuring that the sediment and erosion control measures have:
                      a.      Been duly designed by an RPEQ or CPESC and constructed in accordance with "best
                              practise" methods,
                      b.      Been revised by an RPEQ or CPESC to address the issues raised by changes in the
                              projected construction schedule and/or methods,
                      c.      Been revised to address predicted rainfall events, and
                      d.      Achieve the desired environmental outcomes.
               18.    Council may request further controls to be installed should the implemented measures be
                      found inefficient.
               19.    The erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed and maintained in
                      accordance with the supervising engineer instructions and the current best practice
                      standards.
               20.    The developer must ensure non-essential exposure of soil is prevented by restricting the
                      extent of disturbance and minimising the duration of soil exposure to adverse weather
                      conditions and effectively turf, cover or stabilise any disturbed area without delay and prior
                      to rainfall occurring.

               21.    The developer must ensure sediment does not leave the site or enter onto adjoining
                      properties or Council’s drainage system due to surface runoff or on tyres of vehicles and/or
                      machinery. It is essential to implement appropriate approved erosion and sediment control
                      measures throughout the site during all phases of construction including vehicle shakedown
                      pad/grid (or similar) at the access to the construction site. Where sediments or other
                      contaminants are deposited on a road, they must be removed so as not to enter Council’s
                      drainage system or waterways.
               22.    Prior to the completion of the development and commencement of use, all site surfaces must
                      be effectively stabilised using methods which have achieved effective short-term stabilisation
                      and which will continue to achieve effective stabilisation in the medium to long-term.
               23.    Certification by a Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland that states that the
                      revetment wall and associated structures are constructed in accordance with best practice
                      methods and are structurally sound must be submitted to Council. This certification must be
                      submitted to Council within three (3) months of the completion of the works. A final inspection
                      and approval of the structure by Council’s Inspector is also required. Please contact Council’s
                      Development Assessment Branch on 5329 6500 to arrange the inspection.
               24.    This approval lapses where the construction of the revetment wall and associated structures
                      have not commenced within two (2) years of the date of issue of the approval unless
                      application is made and approved by Council for an extension.
               25.    After completion, the proposed works must be maintained in a sound state of repair in
                      accordance with the approved plans.

               7.     ADVISORY NOTES

               The following notes are included for guidance and information purposes only and do not form part
               of the assessment manager conditions:
                      General Advisory Notes
               1.     Council has undertaken an audit check of the Operational Works drawings in relations to the
                      proposed works. A detailed check of the calculations and drawings has not been undertaken,
                      as they have been certified by a RPEQ. The RPEQ bears full responsibility for all aspects of
                      the engineering design. Council reserves the right to require further amendments and/or
                      additions at a later date should design errors become apparent.




                                                                                                       Page 4 of 38

               2.     The approval or conditions do not absolve the owner of the land from complying with all the
                      conditions of this approval and/or relevant Council By-Laws and Policies and/or relevant
                      statues and/or statutory regulations in the execution and/or performance of said works.
               3.     Council reserves the right to call up any performance bond held or levy charges against the
                      property, should emergency works be required to be undertaken by Council to make the site
                      safe due to inactivity on the development site for extended periods of time.
               4.     Should any changes or modifications to the approved plans be required as a result of
                      construction constraints, a “Request to change an existing approval” under the Planning Act

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Native Foresters was commissioned by Long View Consulting Engineers to conduct a marine
plant survey of the landward areas adjacent to the Catalina Jetty boathouse, which will be
impacted by proposed upgrading works of the connecting concrete revetment wall and associated
infrastructure.

1.1 Objectives of the report

The objective of this report is to determine the extent of temporary and permanent impacts of
proposed works on marine plants protected under the Fishenes Act 1994.

1.2 Site description

The survey area encompasses the southem footprint of Lot 164 CP 907410 where it occurs on
the southem bank of the Noosa River, within Apex Park (Lot 151 SP284457) at Gympie Terrace,
Noosaville. The survey area covered a total area of 265m?, however part of this incorporates
impervious areas such as pathways. The proposed impact area at the entrance to the jetty and
boathouse includes an open maintained grass area with concrete pathways, a wooden boardwalk
section, and a semi-paved access road, and adjacent sandy areas within the edge of the Noosa
River. Refer to Figure 1.

The majority of the site contains mown grass areas, with a semi-paved access road within the
south-east section and a wooden boardwalk seating area along the westem side of the revetment
wall fronting the river. The majonty of the revetment wall area has been stabilised with rock
revetment on the western side of the jetty, with infiltration of water and erosion of soil and sandy
substrate apparent, further exposing underlying rocks. The grass area directly south of the
eastem failed revetment wall contains small sink-holes, with adjacent tree roots exposed at the
eastem extent around the existing concrete river access ramp.

Two large Coastal she oaks (Casuarina glauca), which have been impacted by erosion exposing
the structural roots, occur at either end of the boundary of Lot 164 within Apex Park, with small
beach areas and scattered trees further along the river bank to the east and west.

State mapping of the survey area shows the central part of the survey area as occurring above
Highest Astronomical Tide (HAT), with low lying tidally influenced areas on the eastern and
westem side of the jetty (Figure 1). Ground-truthing at the site found evidence of tidal influence
across the survey area, and it is considered likely that the whole of Lot 164 is impacted tidally
during coinciding high tide and high rainfall events.

The survey area covers a section of maintained river bank with a constructed jetty and boathouse,
with small beach areas and scattered trees further along the river bank to the east and west. The
vegetation in the survey area consists primarily of introduced grasses, with small patches of Salt
couch (Sporobolus virginicus) along the river bank. Two large Coastal she oaks (Casuarina
glauca), which have also been impacted by erosion exposing the structural roots, occur at either
end of the boundary of Lot 164 within Apex Park (Lot 151), managed by Noosa Council.
Vegetation throughout the survey area is mapped as non-remnant.

The survey area is mapped as occurring within a Coastal Management District, contains Storm
Tide Hazard Areas and Erosion Prone Areas, and adjoins the Noosa River which is mapped as a
declared fish habitat on the northern side of the river.

1.3 Proposed works

The revetment wall surrounding the Catalina Jetty and boathouse is proposed to be upgraded as
destabilisation from large rainfall events and tidal influence has occurred along the length of the
existing structure. Erosion and under-scouring of the sand substrate surrounding the revetment
wall have caused failure of the wall on the eastem side of the jetty, and infilling and erosion of
sand and material from underneath the westem side of the wall. Erosion is also apparent to the
river banks directly to each side of the revetment wall structure. There are two proposed sections
of works along the revetment wall:

a) Removal of existina failed section of revetment wall and access ramp to the east of the
jetty, and construction of an upgraded revetment wall with conventional 20mm aggregate
backfill to the lot boundary (Lot 164 CP907410). Embankment retention and stabilization
at termination of the proposed revetment works shall be installed in consultation with
Council, using Council's nominated method as applied to the adjacent zones of nverbank
treatment.

b) Stabilisation and infiltration control of soil below the eroded section of revetment wall
directly south and to the west of the boathouse using cementitious injection grout.

A temporary holding and storage area for works has also been proposed for the grass and
pavement area at the southem extent of Lot 164, with site access from Gympie Terrace being
obtained from the existing semi-paved access roadway within the adjacent Apex Park.

The extent of the works impact area corndor is shown in Appendix A — Catalina Jetty Revetment,

2.0 METHODOLOGY
2.1 Desktop review

A desktop review was undertaken to assist in determining the site’s environmental values in
relation to protected manne plants. The review consisted of searches of government planning
instruments and databases, as well as relevant academic literature, and aenal imagery of the site.
Multiple mapping products and databases were utilised to determine species, ecosystems,
communities, and areas of conservation significance with potential relevance to the study area
(1-2km radius around central coordinates (Latitude -26.39772, Longitude 153.05997), or relevant
Lot on Plan of the site, dependent on database). Sources of information are listed below and

2.2. Marine Protected Plants Survey

A detailed marine protected plant survey was conducted on the 27” April 2023, which included
identification of marine plant specimens below and adjacent to the HAT within the survey area.
This survey area covered an approximate area of 265m?, all of which is deemed to be tidally
influenced and therefore subject to the requirements of the protected marine plants survey.

The definition of ‘marine plants’ and ‘dead manne wood’ contained in section 8 of the Fishenes
Act 1994 and in section 5.4 of the Department of Primary Industries and Fishenes Management
and protection of marine plants and other tidal fish habitats, Fish Habitat Management
Operational Policy (Couchman & Beumer, 2007) was used for the purposes of the survey.

‘Marine plant’ includes the following —
(a) A plant (a tidal plant) that usually grows on, or adjacent to, tidal land, whether it is living,

dead, standing or fallen;
(b) Matenal of a tidal plant, or other plant material on tidal land;

Page 27

Native Foresters

(c) A plant, or material of a plant, prescribed under a regulation or management plan to be
a marine plant.

Marine plants include mangroves, Swamp she-oak with Salt couch understorey, seagrass,
samphires, saltbushes, Salt couch and saltmarsh plants, algae and other tidal plants that are
growing adjacent to the tidal zone, landward and seaward, above and below HAT, are
protected under the Fishenes Act 1994. All other native plants and plant material growing
below HAT are also protected under the Act.

‘Dead marine wood’ means a branch or trunk that is or was part of a manne plant. Plant matenal
on tidal land includes all non-native species unless listed under the Biosecunty Act 2014 as a
Restricted Invasive Plant (RIP).

The following methodology was used to conduct the marine plant survey:

e The survey area was projected into ArcGIS pro 3.0.2 along with QLD govemment spatial
data including vegetation management, waterways, elevation and cadastral layers and
exported to the Avenza maps application for viewing on an Ipad with inbuilt GPS. The
Queensland Goverment mapped HAT layer was sourced from QSpatial and projected
into ArcGIS for visualisation of areas above / below HAT. This was ground-truthed on site
by observing characteristics such as presence and absence of marine tolerant species
and the landform, and adjusted to the high-water mark to compensate for inconsistencies
in the data.

e The botanist surveyed the vegetation for marine plants designated under the Queensland
Fisheries Act 1994. All plants below HAT were considered ‘marine plants’. Above HAT,
plants were considered ‘manne plants’ if they were within/ or adjacent to a tidal area, and
species listed in the Fish Habitat Management Operational Policy (Appendix 1, Table 3)
(Couchman & Beumer, 2007) including mangroves, Melaleucas, Swamp she-oak with Salt
couch understorey, Salt couch, Samphire and Mangrove fem.

e The area of marine plants occurring above and below the estimated HAT was measured
by a vertical projection downwards of the living and attached plant material. This cover
equates to the projected foliage cover in the Fish Habitat Management Operational Policy
(Couchman & Beumer, 2007).

e The botanist recorded what percentage of the area occupied by each species or marine
plant community would be subject to temporary impacts (i.e., where manne plants were
considered likely to be able to recolonise within 5 years of disturbance) or permanent
impacts (i-e., where clearing required for proposed works would result in permanent loss
of marine plants).

« The maturity of mangroves and presence of pneumatophores was noted using the
following size classes: adults (>2m tall); saplings (<2m tall); seedlings (<0.5m tall).

e Survey results were imported into GIS pro 3.0.2 for analysis of species composition and
total areas of temporary and permanent impacts to marine plants from proposed works.
Impervious surfaces such as concrete pathways were excluded from the areas of impacts
to marine plants.

3.0 RESULTS - MARINE PLANT IMPACT ASSESSMENT

The vegetation within the works footprint at Catalina Jetty is all within tidally influenced areas
and deemed as marine plants for this survey. The survey area is dominated by introduced
grasses Blue couch (Digitaria didactyla) and Buffalo grass (Stenotaphrum secundatum)
interspersed with a small amount of native Salt couch (Sporobolus virginicus) at the revetment
wall and along the nver bank. Native spurge groundcover (Chamaesyce drummondil) is also
present in high density within the semi-paved access road area. Two Moreton Bay ash
(Corymbia tessellaris) trees with median Diameter at Breast Height (DBH) of 205mm occur
along the southem boundary of Lot 164 (Tree identification numbers 4 & 5, Figure 2), which
will not be impacted from proposed works.

Two large Swamp she oaks (Casuarina glauca), occur at the eastern and westem boundary
of Lot 164 within Apex Park, with their root systems extending into the proposed works area
(Tree identification numbers 3 & 6, Figure 2). The root systems have also been impacted by
erosion exposing some structural roots along the river bank (northem side of trees). The Tree
Protection Zone (TPZ) and/or Structural Root Zone (SRZ) of these trees may be impacted by
proposed works, and arborist assessment may be required to advise on management of these
individuals, especially in relation to potential impacts from cementitious injection grout at the
westem tree (tree number 6). In relation to tree health, it is considered that additional future
works may be required in the adjacent Apex Park to stabilise the structural root zone of these
trees to ensure that they are not undermined, resulting in potential collapse of these trees into
the river.

Within the river bed one small plant of Dugong grass (Halophila ovalis) with 6 leaves occurs
1m north of the eastern revetment wall within approximately 40cm deep water. The remainder
of the river bed area contains bare sand with a small amount of algae growth apparent on
some of the submerged rocks and parts of the wall.

Adjacent to proposed works along the Noosa River, Swamp she oak are growing below the
HAT along the nver bank, with Moreton Bay ash (Corymbia tessellaris) Small-fruited grey gum
(Eucalyptus propinqua), and Fineteaved red gum (Eucalyptus seeana) above the HAT on the
riverbank.

Total impacts to marine plants cover an area of 231.65m? within the survey area. The areas of
permanent disturbance to marine plants associated with revetment wall replacement and
upgrade works include 13.2m? within section 1 (eastem revetment wall), and 9.3m? within
section 2 (westem revetment wall). The areas of temporary disturbance to marine plants
associated with site access and a holding/ storage area for works include 207.5m? within the
southem section of the Lot and part of adjacent Lot 151, as well as to 1.65m? within the nver
bed of section 1 & 2 where construction may temporarily disturb the sandy substrate and
associated marine plants.

The impacts to marine plants are summarised in Tables 1 and 2, and Figure 2.

The location and distribution of marine plants is shown in Figure 3, with further information on
trees present at site detailed in Appendix C.

4.0 SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The data collected during the marine plant survey of Catalina Jetty survey area indicates that
there is the potential for impacts to 231.65m? of marine plants, which includes:

A total permanent area of 22.5m? which includes:

=  11.2m? of permanent impact to Swamp she oak roots, where material will be removed or
treated during revetment wall replacement and upgrade;

= 0.66m? of permanent impact to Salt couch, where material will be removed during
revetment wall replacement and upgrade;

= 6.6m? of permanent impact to Blue couch, where material will be removed during culvert
replacement;

= 3.828m? of permanent impact to Buffalo grass, which will be removed during revetment
wall replacement and upgrade;

= 0.23m* of permanent impact to Sea algae, where material will be removed during
revetment wall replacement and upgrade.

A total temporary area of 209. 15m? which includes:

= 0.3m? of temporary impact to Dugong grass on the river bed, where material will be
impacted during revetment wall replacement;

= 0.15m? of temporary impact to sea algae on the nver bed, where material will be impacted
during revetment wall replacement and upgrade;

= 1.2m? of temporary impact to dead marine wood on the river bank, where material will be
impacted during revetment wall replacement;

= 87.15m? of temporary impact to Blue couch within Lot 164 and 151, where material will
be temporarily disturbed during use as an access road and storage site;

= 62.25m? of temporary impact to Buffalo grass within Lot 164 and 151, where material will
be temporanily disturbed during use as an access road and storage site;

= 58.1m# of temporary impact to Native spurge within Lot 164 and 151, where material will
be temporarily disturbed during use as an access road and storage site.

Care will be required during works to ensure that other marine plants within or adjacent to the
works footprint comdor are not disturbed, especially mature Swamp she oak directly adjacent to
the eastem and westem extent of works within Apex Park (Lot 151). Consultation with a
professional Arborist (and in conjunction with Noosa Council), may be required to assess potential
risks to tree health from proposed works, and to assess future management options in relation to
ongoing erosion undermining the structural roots of the trees along the river bank. Temporary
impacts should be minimised to river bank and river bed areas containing marine plants within
the works corndor.
