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
