4.       General advice to assessment manager
         Pursuant to sections 334 and 363 of the Act, a copy of a decision notice or negotiated decision notice
         issued by the assessment manager must be forwarded to DERM as a referral agency for the relevant
         application at PO Box 573, Nambour QLD 4560.
         The State’s Native Title Work Procedures provide that responsibility for assessment of native title issues
         for an IDAS application rests with the assessment manager. Therefore, DERM as a referral agency for
         the relevant application has not provided notification to native title parties.


5.       Additional information for applicants
         Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003
         DERM also takes this opportunity to advise the Assessment Manager of the responsibilities of
         applicants under the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003. The Assessment Manager may wish to
         include this information as an Advisory Note on the Decision Notice issued for the application.
         Under section 23 of the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003 a person who carries out an activity must
         take all reasonable and practicable measures to ensure the activity does not harm Aboriginal cultural
         heritage (the "cultural heritage duty of care"). Maximum penalties for breaching the duty of care are
         $1,000,000 for a corporation and $100,000 for an individual.
         Applicants will comply with the duty of care in relation to Aboriginal cultural heritage if they are acting in
         accordance with cultural heritage duty of care guidelines gazetted under the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage
         Act 2003, available on the DERM website, or in accordance with an agreement with the Aboriginal party
         for the area or a cultural heritage management plan approved under part 7 of the Aboriginal Cultural
         Heritage Act 2003.
         Applicants are also encouraged to undertake a search of the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Database and
         the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Register, administered by the Cultural Heritage Coordination Unit,
         DERM. Application forms to undertake a free search of the Cultural Heritage Register and the Database
         may be obtained by contacting the Cultural Heritage Coordination Unit on (07) 3239 3647 or on the

Response to development application

Policy 2,2.2 of the South-east Queensland Regional Coastal Management Plan 2006 states that undeveloped
erosion prone areas are to be maintained, protected and enhanced as a coastal buffer zone and for other
coastal management purposes. The proposed erosion protection works are designed as a defensive action
to stabilise the Noosa River Spit, in particular the area known as doggy beach from further erosion impacts,
and therefore reduce the risk of loss or damage to existing development within Noosa River.

Reason(s) for inclusion of conditions

In accordance with section 289 of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009, the reason(s) for inclusion of conditions
Stated in this permit required by the concurrence agency response for the application are as follows.

The conditions are included pursuant to section 106 of the Coastal Protection and Management Act 1995.

This development approval authorises the works, it does not authorise environmental harm unless a
concurrence agency condition within this development approval explicitly authorises that harm. Where there

is no condition, or the development approval is silent on a matter, the lack of a condition or silence shall not
be construed as authorising harm. :

Reason(s) for inclusion of conditions

In accordance with section 289 of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009, the reason(s) for inclusion of conditions
stated in this permit required by the concurrence agency response for the application are as follows.

The conditions are included pursuant to section 73B of the Environmental Protection Act 1994.

Environmentally Relevant Activities (ERA)
This permit gives permission to undertake a dredging activity according to specific conditions.

The aforementioned description of any environmentally relevant activity (ERA) for which this permit is
issued is simply a restatement of the ERA as prescribed in the legislation at the time of issuing this permit.

Where there is any conflict between the abovementioned description of the ERA for which this permit is
issued and the conditions specified herein as to the scale, intensity or manner of carrying out of the ERA,
then such conditions prevail to the extent of the inconsistency. .

This permit authorises the ERA. It does not authorise environmental harm unless a condition within this
permit explicitly authorises that harm. Where there is no such condition, or the permit is silent on a matter,
the lack of a condition or silence shall not be construed as authorising harm.

In addition to this permit, for a person to carry out this ERA they must be a registered operator under the
Environmental Protection Act 1994, for the person to become a registered operator, they must apply for
a registration certificate under section 73F of the Environmental Protection Act 1994.

Reason(s) for inclusion of conditions

State Planning Policy 2/02 2 sets out the State’s interests concerning development involving acid
sulfate soils (ASS) in low-lying coastal areas. An assessment of the development application
indicates that there are significant environmental risks associated with disturbing acid sulfate soil
(ASS) at this site. To satisfy the requirements of the SPP 2/022, detailed knowledge on the location of
ASS and site specific management strategies should be a precursor to any site disturbance. This
may impact on the project design and financial viability of the project.

The disturbance of ASS should be avoided wherever possible. Any negative environmental impact
which occurs as a result of a development activity disturbing ASS and which does not comply with

1
   Permit includes licences, approvals, permits, authorisations, certificates, sanctions or equivalent/similar as required by legislation
administered by the Department of Environment and Resource Management.

SPP 2/022 breaches the duty of care requirements as defined in the Environmental Protection Act
1994.

The obligation is on the developer to comply with SPP 2/022 and conditions of approval.

CONDITIONS
The Department recommends that the following conditions be attached to any development approval:
   1. Complete an ASS investigation in accordance with SPP 2/02 Guideline 3 .
   2. Based on the results of the ASS investigation, formulate an ASS Environmental Management
      Plan (ASS EM Plan) consistent with Appendix 4 of the SPP2/02 Guideline and the
      Management Principles of the latest version of the Queensland Acid Sulfate Soil Technical
      Manual, Soil Management Guidelines 4 .
   3. The development must comply with the ASS EM Plan required in 2.

The Department further recommends that the above conditions be addressed prior to development
commencing and suggests that the compliance stage of IDAS provides a suitable process for
ensuring the technical reports are in accordance with SPP 2/021.
