 Statutory consideration              Description                                                      Extract


 Coastal Management District          Queensland DA mapping identifies that the Site is within a       Extract 3
                                      Coastal Management District, as presented in Extract 3.
                                      The Coastal Management District is relevant insofar as
                                      PO16 of ‘State code 8: Coastal development and tidal works’
                                      of the State Development Assessment Provisions that states
                                      “PO16 Development:
                                      1. avoids impacts on matters of state environmental
                                      significance; or
                                      2. minimises and mitigates impacts on matters of state
                                      environmental significance after demonstrating avoidance is
                                      not reasonably possible; and
                                      3. provides an offset if, after demonstrating all reasonable
                                      avoidance, minimisation and mitigation measures are
                                      undertaken, the development results in an acceptable
                                      significant residual impact on a matter of state environmental
                                      significance.”
                                      Matters of State Environmental Significance include:

                                      d. contain areas of essential habitat shown on the essential
                                      habitat map for an animal that is endangered wildlife or
                                      vulnerable wildlife or a plant that is endangered wildlife or

                                      e. are located within the defined distances stated in the
