4 PROPOSAL 4.1 Overview
The proposed application seeks Council’s approval for the following aspects of development: • Development Permit for a Material Change of Use Extractive Industry (Removal of Quarry Material from Watercourse); and • Development Permit for a Material Change of Use Environmentally Relevant Activity (Screening and dredging). The proposal involves: • BTS propose to dredge and screen sand resources from the Haughton River. The dredging and screening operations will be operated under the Quarry Material Allocation Notice issued by the Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy; • The proposal seeks to align with the QMA which allows remove a total of 100,000m³ maximum (f rom all areas A-G) over a 12-month period with a total allocation of 331,825m³ for areas B-F. • Extraction will be to a depth specified in the QMA • Screening will occur within the riverbed; and • Permanent stockpiling has not been proposed. A comprehensive review of all operations are detailed in the following sections
4.2 Extraction Quantity
In accordance with the Quarry Allocation Notices Allocation B-F have been approved for: • Site B – 5,848m³; • Site C – 7,743m³; • Site D - 129,840m³; • Site E – 123,493m³; • Site F – 64,901m³; Total – 331,825m³ Extracted volumes will vary from day to day depending on demand. The front-end loader contains scales, where all material extracted from the site is weighed. Each tip truck and loader have a docket book to record all material removed from the site. The dockets are collected weekly at the company office, to ensure an accurate record of the weight of extracted material. This weight is converted to volume for reporting purposes using the bulk density of the material extracted. The volume of material extracted is reported to the Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy (DNRME) on a monthly basis.
4.3 Method of extraction
Plant equipment required for the operation consists of an excavator, front-end loaders, mobile screening plant, tip trucks and bulldozers on occasion as required. Operation at the extraction site includes: • Extraction of sand material; • Screening of sand; and • Loading of raw material into trucks for transport off site.
PR118407-5 | MCU for an Extractive Industry | V2 | 29 Sep 2020 rpsgroup.com Page 10 REPORT
Material will be extracted as required and according to the properties of the material. Material will be screened and separated into temporary stockpiles of different grades. Operations will be predominantly undertaken during the dry season, with operations continuing in the wet season dependant on river conditions. During suitable conditions, such as the dry season, the river has irrigation flow only, which is restricted to the low flow channel. Extraction will commence at the centre of the riverbed within the allocation areas and gradually develop further into the allocation area. Backfilling using unsold material will take place as material becomes available on the site. Generally, the site will be developed by stripping and stockpiling down from RL10 metres. The excavator will then excavate down to the maximum depth, the won material being stockpiled to dry before being screened and graded into the different products. The extraction area is in the riverbed of the Haughton River, which is inundated at times during minor or major f looding. The site is managed in such a manner as to prevent deposits of silt that will spoil the resource. Instances of “silting” can occur if natural flows are prevented by inappropriate bunding. Areas will be excavated in parallel to the stream flow to prevent silting. The bed material at the level of operations is sand and gravel and this material will move under the action of floodwater. It is floodwater that will determine the final shape of the bed profiles. Banks will not be affected as they will be protected by the buffer strips. No fuel of hazardous materials will be stored on the site. Machinery is fuelled from a 1,000L mobile fuel tank which is taken in and out of the riverbed following refuelling. Extraction and screening will operate from 6:00am to 6:00pm Monday to Friday and from 6:00am to 3:00pm on Saturday. No activities will be undertaken or on public holidays or on a Sunday. A total number of three employees will work at the facility, at any one time.
4.4 Environmentally Relevant Activities
This application seeks a Development Permit for conducting of the following Environmentally Relevant Activities (ERA): • ERA 16(1) (c) – extractive and screening activities – dredging more than 100,000 tonnes but not more than 1,000,000 tonnes of material in a year; and • ERA 16(3) (b) – extractive and screening activities – screening 100,000t to 1,000,000 tonnes of material in a year. As part of this application referral of the Concurrence ERAs are required pursuant to the Planning Regulation 2017. Key Considerations of the ERA have been detailed within the Submitted Site Based Management Plan with key points demonstrated below: The proposed maximum tonnage of the proposed volume of material will be: • Approx. 158,000t excavated in a year (maximum); • Approx.158,000t screened in a year (maximum); and • Dredging is wet, methodology has been provided in the SBMP. Chemical and fuel storage: • It must be noted that no fuel will be stored in the river at any time. • The excavator and the screening plant are refuelled from a 1,000L mobile fuel tank which is taken out of the riverbed following refuelling. • Mitigation measures include each vehicle containing a spill kit and a person supervises the refuelling to ensure that no spills occur. • Furthermore, sand is the preferred method for cleaning up spills with any contaminated sand being extracted immediately.

Noise: • Potential sensitive receptors in the proximity to the extraction and screening sites area identified Figure 7, which is nearby house to the east of area E. The plan demonstrates that sensitive receptors is over 400m from the edge of the extraction boundary • Extraction and screening will operate from 6:00am to 6:00pm Monday to Friday and from 6:00am to 3:00pm on Saturday. No activities will be undertaken or on public holidays or on a Sunday. These hours of operations are not considered to impact on environmental values of the acoustic environment as they are standard work hours; • Adjoining harvesting commence at 4:00am and are in closer proximity to sensitive receptors than the operations; • BTS maintain equipment regularly by an independent service provider; • The operation will seek to continue to limit revving of engines on mobile and stationary machines and shut down any equipment not in use; • The operation will seek to continue to limit the use of horns or other audible signals on mobile equipment to the maximum practical extent; and • It has been identified that noise cannot be heard from the bank of the river and therefore does not impact on sensitive receptors which are more than 400m from operations.

4.5 Vegetation Clearing
This application seeks, through referral under the Planning Regulations 2017, vegetation clearing for the purposes of establishing an access track through the riverbank into the river for the purposes of extraction and screening. Pursuant to Schedule 10, a Section 22A Determination from DNRME has been obtained and included herein determining that the clearing is for a Relevant Purpose under the Vegetation Management Act. The extraction area within the Haughton River is fringed by riparian vegetation (Category B – Lease of Concern Regional Ecosystem) (ref er to Appendix B), where some mapped native vegetation is also present in sections of the bed, predominantly associated with the low flow channel. For the purposes of the vegetation clearing permit assessment, the applicant provided a vegetation clearing map (refer to Appendix C) to DNRME during the Section 22A application process, which identifies the potential full extent of vegetation clearing for the proposal. However, it should be noted, the QMA requires the operator to not clear any native vegetation (which is likely within the low flow channel area), expect for access tracks. The QMA requires no extraction within 5m of the low flow channel or with 5m of a stem or trunk of native vegetation. This infers that the only clearing of native vegetation will occur to facilitate the access tracks only, which are proposed be a maximum width of 10 metres. The applicant has identified the location of these tracks in Vegetation Clearing Map (Refer to Appendix C) which have been chosen based on ground truthing of the site to identify existing tracks that are suitable for access to reduce clearing where possible. There is an extremely small section of mapped vegetation to be cleared, located at the end of the proposed track providing access for western portion of the allocation area.
4.6 Access, Egress, and Traffic Impact Assessment
Most of the vehicle movements for allocations B-E will utilise use Bill Britt Road to gain access to the existing public road network. This road which extends directly into existing tracks located within lot 7 on SP117628 to gain access to the riverbed. Access for Area G will be via Black Road and directly into Lot 8 on SP123168 where consent from Sunwater has been granted. Egon benefits from an access easement along the existing track. Ergon has confirmed no issues with utilising this track where located in their easement (Ref er to Appendix A). The parts of the road/tracks which are currently unformed will be constructed from select materials found on site to allow for safe access and egress from the site. Specifically, the construction of the access route will take advantage of the existing cleared dirt tracks and the materials for the roadbed will be sourced from the extraction site. The road base will consist of larger sized gravel mixed with finer sands to form a stable pavement for vehicle use. To mitigate the potential noise and dust impacts from the proposed vehicle movements to the site, all vehicles will adhere to strict speed limits of 25km/hr. Vehicle movements will be restricted to defined areas, reducing the impact of unnecessary movements throughout the site. The proposed haulage route will see most vehicles travel north along Black Road, depending on delivery location, connecting with Upper Haughton Road and the wider road network. The applicant recently undertook a Traffic Impact Assessment as part of a development application process for area A and G (ref er to Appendix J). The applicant considers this assessment valid for the purposes of this application as the quarry allocation relates to an overall extraction limit of 500,000m³ and a limit of 100,000m³ per year which encapsulates all allocations areas (A-G). Therefore it can be assumed there will not be an increase of traffic movements as a result of the obtaining a development permit for areas B-F (this application) as they form part of the annual and yearly limits that were previously assessed and approved for Areas A and G. The only change will be the proposed access locations onto Upper Haughton Road, which is Coach Road for area A and G, whereas areas B-F will gain access via Black Road. It is considered that Black Road and its intersection with Upper Haughton Road is adequate to cater for the intended vehicle types as these roads/intersections cater for existing heavy vehicles associated with surrounding agricultural activities.

5 KEY PLANNING ISSUES 5.1 Desired Environmental Outcomes
The current proposal recognises the Desired Environmental Outcomes (DEO’s) found in Part 3 of the Burdekin Shire Planning Scheme (2011). The DEO’s are based on ecological sustainability principles and are sought to be achieved to the extent practicable having regard to each of the other DEO’s. Every effort has been taken to ensure that the proposal meets or exceeds the listed requirements outlined within the DEO’s. Particular attention has been focused on the Economic Development, Biodiversity and Conservation Areas and Community Well Being sub-categories found within the scheme and a Site Based Management Plan (SBMP) has been prepared to ensure on going compliance. The SBMP (Appendix I) stipulates monitoring, reporting and operational requirements to be followed to ensure the General Environmental Duty of Care. An assessment against each Desired Environmental Outcomes and Strategic Framework of the Planning Scheme is included within Section 7.3.1 herein.
5.2 Traffic Impact Assessment
As discussed in section 4.6 herein, due to the need and supply nature of the industry, it is difficult to adequately quantify the traffic impacts caused by the extraction of sand material from the site on local and state-controlled roads. Specifically, the day to day operations and activities on site will be purely based on the need (including quantity) of customers and then BTS will supply. Therefore, some days there will be no trucks and others there will be multiple. Therefore, quantifiable information relating to the number of vehicle trips, size of vehicle and volume of sand within each truck is unknown and changes from order to order and day to day. The proposed haulage route will see most vehicles travel north along Black Road, depending on delivery location, connecting with Upper Haughton Road and the wider road network. The applicant recently undertook a Traffic Impact Assessment as part of a development application process for area A and G (refer to Appendix J). The applicant considers this assessment valid for the purposes of this application as the quarry allocation relates to an overall extraction limit of 500,000m³ and a limit of 100,000m³ per year which encapsulates all allocations areas (A-G). Therefore it can be assumed there will not be an increase of traffic movements as a result of the obtaining a development permit for areas B-F (this application) as they form part of the annual and yearly limits that were previously assessed and approved for Areas A and G. The only change will be the proposed access locations onto Upper Haughton Road for the additional haul route, which is Coach Road for area A and G, whereas areas B-F will gain access via Black Road. It is considered that Black Road and its intersection with Upper Haughton Road is adequate to cater for the intended vehicle types as these roads/intersections cater for existing heavy vehicles associated with surrounding agricultural activities.

7.3 Local Authority Assessment Benchmarks
This application is to be assessed against the Strategic Framework, Desired Environmental Outcomes, Zone Codes, Use Codes and Overlay Codes. The assessment benchmarks applicable under Burdekin Shire Planning Scheme (2011) are addressed below.
7.3.1 Strategic Framework
The Burdekin Shire Planning Scheme (2011) has been based on three main strategies that apply to the shire, being: 1. Flooding and coastal processes; 2. Integrated Catchment Management; and 3. Land and Water Management. Table 11 provides a response against the three main strategies discussed above. Table 11 - Response to Strategic Framework
Strategic Framework Response Strategy 1 – Flooding and Coastal Processes • Minimise the detrimental effects of inundation by storm surge, tidal surge or flood waters upon development in the Shire; and • Support the dynamic relationship between the river catchments and the coastal processes and minimise the adverse effects of development upon the coastal zone and marine environments. 1. Development (material change of use and The proposal is for the purposes of extraction within the reconfiguration of lot) is located to avoid detrimental Haughton River. inundation by floodwaters, stormwater or tidal surge The extraction area is located in the bed of the Haughton and accommodates the dynamic relationship River, which is inundated at times during minor or major between the river catchments and the coastal flooding. The site is managed in such a manner as to prevent processes. deposits of silt that will spoil the resource. Instances of “silting” can occur if natural flows are prevented by inappropriate bunding. Areas will be excavated in parallel to the stream flow to prevent silting. The bed material at the level of operations is sand and gravel and this material will move under the action of floodwater. It is floodwater that will determine the final shape of the bed

New development within the existing urban Not Applicable environment of the Burdekin is developed to The subject site is located within a ‘Rural’ Zone. accommodate any potential flooding impacts from floodwaters, stormwater or tidal surge. Strategy 2 – Integrated Catchment Management • Implement integrated catchment management principles to protect the catchments and the sub-catchments of the Shire’s creek and river systems. 1. The biodiversity values of the Haughton River Potential impacts and primary control measures have been catchment and other significant local catchments considered within Table 8 of the SBMP to mitigate and including but not limited to those of the Haughton preserve the environmental value of the site (refer to Appendix River, Bowen River, Bogie River, Barramundi Creek I). and Barratta Creek, are recognised and protected for their environmental values. 2.

Minor vegetation clearing is proposed to facilitate a safe access to the river bed however, all measure have been taken to ensure that the access route has utilised a previously cleared access point to limit vegetation clearing within the area (Refer to Appendix C). Strategy 3 – Land and Water Management • Land and water resources are used sustainably for the economic, social, and environmental wellbeing of the Shire. 1. Development minimises adverse impacts including The proposal is considered to protect ground and surface the capability of long-term consequences on land water through the mitigation measures included within the Site and water systems including surface and ground Based Management Plan included within Appendix I. water quality; Furthermore, bank stability is ensured by buffer strips between operation sites and the banks of the river. Potential impacts and primary control measures have been considered within Table 8 of the SBMP to mitigate and preserve the environmental value of the site. 2.

The existing access cuts down both banks of the river are stable and suitable for the proposed use. Moreover, there will be no extraction waste from the site which will limit further site interference. 3. Land uses occur sustainably by utilising existing The proposed land use is considered to utilise the build-up of and available land and water resources, including sand deposits within the Haughton River in a sustainable and irrigation and ground water recharge channels; and ecologically sensitive manner. 4.

Application form Environmental Protection Act 1994
Development application Form 1 - Application details—attachment for an application for an environmental authority This form is to be attached to the Development application Form 1 - Application details when making a development application for prescribed environmentally relevant activities (ERAs). Under section 115 of the Environmental Protection Act 1994 (EP Act) the development approval application is taken to be an application for an environmental authority for the prescribed ERAs.
It is recommended that prior to making an application for an environmentally relevant activity (ERA), you read the information on what to provide with an application. This information is located on the Business Queensland website (formerly the Queensland Government’s Business and Industry Portal) at www.business.qld.gov.au (use the search term “Environmental licence”). This website also has a diagnostic tool called the “forms and fees finder” which will help identify any fees and supporting information you need to make an application.
Only use this application form if you are applying for a new environmental authority (EA) where: All applicants are registered suitable operators1. The ERA/s being applied for do not form part of an ERA project under an existing EA. If more than one ERA is being applied for, the ERAs must be carried out as part of a single integrated operation: • the ERAs will be carried out under the day to day management of a single responsible individual (e.g. a site manager or operations manager); and • all of the ERAs are operationally interrelated, that is, the operation cannot function without all of the ERAs. Separate applications will need to be made for the ERAs that cannot be carried out as a single integrated operation; and • the ERA/s are, or will be, carried out at one or more places; and • the places where the ERAs will be carried out are close enough to make the integrated day to day management of the activities feasible. The ERA/s being applied for are prescribed under section 19 of the Environmental Protection Act 1994 (EP Act). If any of the ERAs being applied for are to be carried out on a parcel of land within a state development area and a particular use for the parcel of land is not stated in the approved development scheme, you have applied for, or hold a current approval for the use under section 84(4)(b) of the State Development and Public Works Organisation Act 1971. The application is not to dredge or extract more than 10,000 tonnes of material a year in the North Stradbroke Island region.
1 If you are not a registered suitable operator you cannot apply for a new environmental authority. To become a registered suitable operator apply online through Connect at www.qld.gov.au/environmentconnect or request the form “Application to be a registered suitable operator - ESR/2015/1771” by emailing [email protected] or phoning 1300 130 372 (option 4).

Dear Renee
Reference is made to the request for owner’s consent required to accompany the development application for Material Change of Use - Extractive Industry (Removal of Quarry Material from a Watercourse), and Environmentally Relevant Activity (Screening & Dredging).
The department hereby gives owner’s consent to the above development application for Material Change of Use.
Although owner’s consent to the development application has been provided and no tenure under the Land Act is required, your client is to undertake works on the land only if and when the development application has been approved by the assessment manager, and in accordance with the conditions of that approval.
A copy of this letter is to be attached to your DA Form 1 as the required evidence of owner’s consent.
Your client will also need to comply with all other legislative and regulatory requirements which may also include approvals that are not part of the assessment of the development application under the Planning Act 2016 e.g. a marine park permit if in a marine park.
Further, please note that the above consent will expire on 9 December 2020. Should the development application not be lodged with the assessment manager prior to this date, your client will be required again to lodge the DA Form 1 and any attachments with this Department with a further request for owner’s consent - any further request will need to be reconsidered by the Department.
Postal : Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy PO Box 5318 Townsville Qld 4810 Phone: (07) 4447 9177 It is also advised that any land use activities must comply with the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003 or the Torres Strait Islander Heritage Act 2003.
Finally, owner’s consent is required under the Planning Act 2016 to enable the application to be considered properly made for lodging with the assessment manager and is a completely separate process to assessment of the application under the Planning Act 2016.
Accordingly, the State may act at a later date as assessment manager in the assessment of the development application - providing owner’s consent will not influence any role the State may have in this development assessment.
If you wish to discuss this matter please contact Tammy Starr on 4447 9177.
All future correspondence relative to this matter is to be referred to the contact Officer at the address below or by email to [email protected]. Any hard copy correspondence received will be electronically scanned and filed. For this reason, it is recommended that any attached plans, sketches or maps be no larger than A3-sized.
Please quote reference number 2020/011490 in any future correspondence.
Yours sincerely

Dear Ms Weightman
RE: TEMPORARY ACCESS THROUGH LOT 8 SP123168 Thank you for your enquiry regarding temporary access to the Haughton River through Lot 8 on SP 123168 (Lot 8). I understand from discussions that Sunwater consent is required to support a development application by Burdekin Transport Services to the Burdekin Shire Council for sand extraction from the Haughton River.
To support the lodgement of a development application Sunwater agrees in principle to negotiate a fixed term access licence through Lot 8 as a transport route to and from the designated work site on adjacent lands. Burdekin Transport Services must enter into a fixed term access licence with Sunwater before accessing Lot 8 for any purpose. The terms and conditions of the fixed term access will be subject to negotiations between Sunwater and Burdekin Transport Services if the development application is approved by Council.
I trust the commitment to negotiate an access licence provided above is sufficient to support the development application. If you have any further questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me on 0447 170 774.
Yours sincerely
Travis Richards General Manager Operations North

CAUTION: This email originated from outside of RPS. Hi Renee,
Thank you for your email.
As you have identified, Ergon Energy is the grantee of Easement A on SP123168. This easement gives Ergon limited rights over the easement area, as per the attached easement conditions.
Ergon has no objection to the use of the land subject of this easement area by BTS, provided Ergon’s rights under the easement are not contravened. BTS is required to ensure that the easement area is kept in good condition, and any damage that they cause is repaired at their own cost.
I trust this assists. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
Kind regards,
Angela Collins Senior Town Planner Property and Operational Services Transformation Office
Energy Queensland 26 Reddacliff Street, Newstead QLD 4006 P 07 3664 5057 E [email protected] energyq.com.au | ergon.com.au | energex.com.au
From: Renee Weightman
Hi,
We act on behalf of BTS who seek vehicular access through Ergons Easement below which is located on a Sunwater land. For Sunwater to further consider our request for owners consent for the purposes of access, they have requested that we seek support for vehicular access though Ergons Easement which is detailed below.
Reference is made to the subject site below being Lot 8SP123168 which contains an Ergon easement over the existing access track.
Our Client (BTS) seeks to lodge a Development Application for a Material Change of Use for Removal of Quarry Material and Environmentally Relevant Activity (Screening & Stockpiling) to the Assessment Manager (Burdekin Shire Council) within the Upper Haughton River. To access extraction sites within the Haughton River that will form part of the above mentioned development application, vehicular access is required through Sunwaters property. Thus to enable lodgement of the above mentioned application, pursuant to Section 51 (2) of the Planning Act 2016, written owner’s consent is required for all properties that form part of the application.
We understand that Ergon will be a Referral Agency as part of the Development Application process, however, to even allow lodgement, we require consent from all parties to utilise their entitlements.
Should you require additional information, please don’t hesitate to contact me to discuss.
Regards, Renee

Vegetation management report, Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy, 2020 Page 2 Recent changes
Updated mapping Updated vegetation mapping was released on 6 April 2020 and includes the most recent Queensland Herbarium scientific updates to the Regulated Vegetation Management Map, regional ecosystems, wetland, high-value regrowth and essential habitat mapping. Overview
Based on the lot on plan details you have supplied, this report provides the following detailed information: • Vegetation management framework - an explanation of the application of the framework. • Property details - information about the specified Lot on Plan, lot size, local government area, bioregion(s), subregion(s), catchment(s), coastal or non coastal status, and any applicable area management plans associated with your property. • Vegetation management details for the specified Lot on Plan - specific information about your property including vegetation categories, regional ecosystems, watercourses, wetlands, essential habitat, protected plants, and koala habitat. • Contact information. • Maps - a series of colour maps to assist in identifying regulated vegetation on your property. • Other legislation contact information.
This information will assist you to determine your options for managing vegetation under the vegetation management framework, which may include: • exempt clearing work • accepted development vegetation clearing code • an area management plan • a development approval.
Other laws
The clearing of native vegetation is regulated by both Queensland and Australian legislation, and some local governments also regulate native vegetation clearing. You may need to obtain an approval or permit under another Act, such as Queensland's Protected Plants framework or the Commonwealth Government's Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). Section 6 of this guide provides contact details of other agencies you should confirm requirements with, before commencing vegetation clearing.

Vegetation management report, Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy, 2020 Page 4 1. Vegetation management framework
The Vegetation Management Act 1999 (VMA), the Vegetation Management Regulation 2012, the Planning Act 2016 and the Planning Regulation 2017, in conjunction with associated policies and codes, form the Vegetation Management Framework.
The VMA does not apply to all land tenures or vegetation types. State forests, national parks, forest reserves and some tenures under the Forestry Act 1959 and Nature Conservation Act 1992 are not regulated by the VMA. Managing or clearing vegetation on these tenures may require approvals under these laws.
The following native vegetation is not regulated under the VMA but may require permit(s) under other laws: • grass or non-woody herbage; • a plant within a grassland regional ecosystem prescribed under Schedule 5 of the Vegetation Management Regulation 2012; and • a mangrove.
1.1 Exempt clearing work
Exempt clearing work is an activity for which you do not need to notify DNRME or obtain an approval approval under the vegetation management framework. Exempt clearing work was previously known as exemptions.
In areas that are mapped as Category X (white in colour) on the regulated vegetation management map (see section 5.1), and where the land tenure is freehold, indigenous land and leasehold land for agriculture and grazing purposes, the clearing of vegetation is considered exempt clearing work and does not require notification or development approval approval under the vegetation management framework. For all other land tenures, contact DNRME before commencing clearing to ensure that the proposed activity is exempt clearing work.
A range of routine property management activities are considered exempt clearing work. A list of exempt clearing work is available at https://www.qld.gov.au/environment/land/vegetation/exemptions/.
Exempt clearing work may be affected if the proposed clearing area is subject to development approval conditions, a covenant, an environmental offset, an exchange area, a restoration notice, or an area mapped as Category A. Exempt clearing work may require approval under other Commonwealth, State or Local Government laws, or local government planning schemes. Contact DNRME prior to clearing in any of these areas.
1.2 Accepted development vegetation clearing codes
Some clearing activities can be undertaken under an accepted development vegetation clearing code. The codes can be downloaded at https://www.qld.gov.au/environment/land/vegetation/codes/
If you intend to clear vegetation under an accepted development vegetation clearing code, you must notify DNRME before commencing. The information in this report will assist you to complete the online notification form.
You can complete the online form at https://apps.dnrm.qld.gov.au/vegetation/
Vegetation management report, Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy, 2020 Page 5 1.3 Area management plans
Area Management Plans (AMP) provide an alternative approval system for vegetation clearing under the vegetation management framework. They list the purposes and clearing conditions that have been approved for the areas covered by the plan. It is not necessary to use an AMP, even when an AMP applies to your property.
On 8 March 2020, AMPs ended for fodder harvesting, managing thickened vegetation and managing encroachment. New notifications cannot be made for these AMPs. You will need to consider options for fodder harvesting, managing thickened vegetation or encroachment under a relevant accepted development vegetation clearing code or apply for a development approval.
New notifications can be made for all other AMPs. These will continue to apply until their nominated end date.
If an area management plan applies to your property for which you can make a new notification, it will be listed in Section 2.2 of this report. Before clearing under one of these AMPs, you must first notify the DNRME and then follow the conditions and requirements listed in the AMP. https://www.qld.gov.au/environment/land/vegetation/area-plans/
1.4 Development approvals
If under the vegetation management framework your proposed clearing is not exempt clearing work, or is not permitted under an accepted development vegetation clearing code, or an AMP, you may be able to apply for a development approval. Information on how to apply for a development approval is available at https://www.qld.gov.au/environment/land/management/vegetation/development

Please note: 1. All area and area derived figures included in this table have been calculated via reprojecting relevant spatial features to Albers equal-area conic projection (central meridian = 146, datum Geocentric Datum of Australia 1994). As a result, area figures may differ slightly if calculated for the same features using a different co-ordinate system. 2. If Table 5 contains a Category 'plant', please be aware that this refers to 'plantations' such as forestry, and these areas are considered non-remnant under the VMA.
The VMA status of the regional ecosystem (whether it is endangered, of concern or least concern) also determines if any of the following are applicable: • exempt clearing work • accepted development vegetation clearing codes • performance outcomes in State Development Assessment Provisions (SDAP).
3.3 Watercourses
Vegetation management watercourses and drainage features for this property are shown on the vegetation management supporting map in section 5.2.
3.4 Wetlands
There are no vegetation management wetlands present on this property.
3.5 Essential habitat
Protected wildlife is native wildlife prescribed under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 (NCA), and includes endangered, vulnerable or near-threatened wildlife.
Essential habitat for protected wildlife includes suitable habitat on the lot, or where a species has been known to occur up to 1.1 kilometres from a lot on which there is assessable vegetation. These important habitat areas are protected under the VMA.
Any essential habitat on this property will be shown as blue hatching on the vegetation supporting map in section 5.2.
If essential habitat is identified on the lot, information about the protected wildlife species is provided in Table 6 below. The numeric labels on the vegetation management supporting map can be cross referenced with Table 6 to outline the essential habitat factors for that particular species. There may be essential habitat for more than one species on each lot, and areas of Category A, Category B and Category C can be mapped as Essential Habitat.
Essential habitat is compiled from a combination of species habitat models and buffered species records. Regional ecosystem is a mandatory essential habitat factor, unless otherwise stated. Essential habitat, for protected wildlife, means an area of vegetation shown on the Regulated Vegetation Management Map as assessable vegetation -
Vegetation management report, Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy, 2020 Page 9 1) that has at least 3 essential habitat factors for the protected wildlife that must include any essential habitat factors that are stated as mandatory for the protected wildlife in the essential habitat database. Essential habitat factors are comprised of - regional ecosystem (mandatory for most species), vegetation community, altitude, soils, position in landscape; or 2) in which the protected wildlife, at any stage of its life cycle, is located.
If there is no essential habitat mapping shown on the vegetation management supporting map for this lot, and there is no table in the sections below, it confirms that there is no essential habitat on the lot.
Category A and/or Category B and/or Category C

3.6 Protected plants (administered by the Department of Environment and Science (DES))
In Queensland, all plants that are native to Australia are protected plants under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 (NCA), with clearing of protected plants in the wild regulated by the Nature Conservation (Wildlife Management) Regulation 2006. These requirements apply irrespective of the classification of the vegetation under the Vegetation Management Act 1999.
Prior to clearing, if the plants proposed to be cleared are in the wild (see Operational policy: When a protected plant in Queensland is considered to be 'in the wild') and the exemptions under the Nature Conservation (Wildlife Management) Regulation 2006 are not applicable to the proposed clearing, you must check the flora survey trigger map to determine if any part of the area to be cleared is within a high risk area. The trigger map for this property is provided in section 5.6. The exemptions relate to: • imminent risk of death or serious injury (refer s261A) • imminent risk of serious damage to a building or other structure on land, or to personal property (refer s261B) • Fire and Emergency Service Act 1990 (refer 261C) • previously cleared areas (refer s261ZB) • maintenance activities (refer s261ZC) • firebreak or fire management line (refer s261ZD) • accepted development vegetation clearing code (refer s261ZE) • conservation purposes (refer s261ZG) • authorised in particular circumstances (refer s385).
Some exemptions under the NCA are the same as exempt clearing work (formerly known as exemptions) from the Vegetation Management Act 1999 (i.e. listed in the Planning Regulations 2017) while some are different.
If the proposed area to be cleared is shown as high risk on the flora survey trigger map, a flora survey of the clearing impact area must be undertaken in accordance with the flora survey guidelines. The main objective of a flora survey is to locate any endangered, vulnerable or near threatened plants (EVNT plants) that may be present in the clearing impact area.
If a flora survey identifies that EVNT plants are not present within the clearing impact area or clearing within 100m of EVNT plants can be avoided, the clearing activity is exempt from a permit. An exempt clearing notification form must be submitted to the Department of Environment and Science, with a copy of the flora survey report, at least one week prior to clearing. The clearing must be conducted within two years after the flora survey report was submitted.
If a flora survey identifies that EVNT plants are present in, or within 100m of, the area to be cleared, a clearing permit is required before any clearing is undertaken. The flora survey report, as well as an impact management report, must be submitted with the application form clearing permit.
In an area other than a high risk area, a clearing permit is only required where a person is, or becomes aware that EVNT plants are present in, or within 100m of, the area to be cleared. You must keep a copy of the flora survey trigger map for the area subject to clearing for five years from the day the clearing starts. If you do not clear within the 12 month period that the flora survey trigger map was printed, you need to print and check a new flora survey trigger map.

Vegetation management report, Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy, 2020 Page 10 For assistance on the protected plants flora survey trigger map for this property, please contact the Department of Environment and Science at [email protected]. 3.7 Koala priority area and koala habitat area (administered by the Department of Environment and Science (DES))
The koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) is listed in Queensland as vulnerable by the Queensland Government under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 and by the Australian Government under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.
The Nature Conservation (Koala) Conservation Plan 2017 allows koala habitat areas and koala priority areas to be determined and requires that these are shown on the Koala Conservation Plan Map. Koala habitat areas are areas that contain koala habitat which is essential for the conservation of a viable koala population in the wild. Please note that these areas only apply to lots in the South East Queensland "Shaping SEQ" Regional Plan area. These areas include the local government areas of Brisbane, Gold Coast, Logan, Lockyer Valley, Ipswich, Moreton Bay, Noosa, Redland, Scenic Rim, Somerset, Sunshine Coast and Toowoomba (urban extent).
Koala habitat areas include koala habitat areas (core) and koala habitat areas (locally refined). Following input from each local government, koala habitat areas (locally refined) were developed. Koala habitat areas (locally refined) will be afforded the same protection during a two year transitional period as if they were koala habitat areas (core) identified by the State.
Koala priority areas are areas where long-term management (e.g. habitat protection, habitat restoration and threat mitigation) and monitoring will be strategically focused as the areas have the highest likelihood of achieving conservation outcomes for koalas.
Clearing koala habitat areas in a koala priority area is prohibited, except for in certain circumstances (see Schedule 10, 16A of the Planning Regulation 2017). Clearing cannot occur (other than for exempt activities) and a development application cannot be lodged for prohibited activities.
Development located inside a koala priority area on lots that contain koala habitat area, but do not involve clearing of koala habitat, will be assessed by local government, except for in certain circumstances (see Schedule 11, Parts 1 and 2 of the Planning Regulation 2017). This is to manage and minimise impacts on koala habitat, such as edge effects.
Outside of koala priority areas, clearing of koala habitat areas must be avoided, mitigated or offset. Development that is proposing to clear koala habitat area will be assessed by the Queensland Government, except for in certain circumstances (see Schedule 10, 16B of the Planning Regulation 2017).
For more information on development requirements see https://environment.des.qld.gov.au/wildlife/animals/living-with/koalas/mapping/legislation-policy.
Landholders (or a person acting on landholder's behalf) can request to have a koala habitat area determination for an area made, amended or revoked if they believe there is an error. For more information, see https://environment.des.qld.gov.au/wildlife/animals/living-with/koalas/mapping/legislation-policy.
The koala conservation plan maps will be updated at least annually to include any koala habitat areas that have been made, amended or revoked.
In order to ensure that the most recent map for an area of interest can be accessed, prior to the annual update, a register of changes made to koala habitat areas as a result of the map amendment process will be available at: https://environment.des.qld.gov.au/wildlife/animals/living-with/koalas/mapping/. The register will include lot on plan for the change, the date the decision was made and the map issued to the landholder which shows areas determined to be koala habitat areas.
For further information on the regulatory framework for koala conservation, including koala priority areas and koala habitat areas, please see the Queensland Government website at https://environment.des.qld.gov.au/wildlife/animals/living-with/koalas/mapping/legislation-policy or contact Koala Assessment and Compliance, Department Environment and Science, at [email protected]. 3.8 Emissions Reduction Fund (ERF)
The ERF is an Australian Government scheme which offers incentives for businesses and communities across the economy to reduce emissions.
Under the ERF, landholders can earn money from activities such as planting (and keeping) trees, managing regrowth vegetation and adopting more sustainable agricultural practices.
Vegetation management report, Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy, 2020 Page 11 The purpose of a project is to remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. Each project will provide new economic opportunities for farmers, forest growers and land managers.
Further information on ERF is available at https://www.qld.gov.au/environment/land/state/use/carbon-rights/.

Regulated vegetation management map The regulated vegetation management map shows vegetation categories needed to determine clearing requirements. These maps are updated monthly to show new property maps of assessable vegetation (PMAV).
Vegetation management supporting map The vegetation management supporting map provides information on regional ecosystems, wetlands, watercourses and essential habitat.
Pre-clear map The vegetation management pre-clear regional ecosystem mapping shows the regional ecosystem, location and extent which is likely to have occurred at that location prior to clearing. This map can be used for identifying exchange areas under the "Managing regulated regrowth vegetation" accepted development vegetation clearing code. It may also be used for for identifying offsets under the vegetation management framework.
Coastal/non coastal map The coastal/non-coastal map confirms whether the lot, or which parts of the lot, are considered coastal or non-coastal for the purposes of the accepted development vegetation clearing codes and the State Development Assessment Provisions (SDAP).
Agricultural Land Class A or B The Agricultural Land Class map confirms the location and extent of land mapped as Agricultural Land Classes A or B as identified on the State Planning Interactive Mapping System. Please note that this map does not include areas identified as Agricultural Land Class A or B in local government planning schemes. This map can be used to identify Agricultural Land Class A or B areas under the "Managing regulated regrowth vegetation" accepted development vegetation clearing code.
Protected plants map The protected plants map shows areas where particular provisions of the Nature Conservation Act 1992 apply to the clearing of protected plants.
Koala priority area and koala habitat area map The koala map shows area of koala priority area and koala habitat under the Nature Conservation (Koala) Conservation Plan 2017. Clearing of habitat in these areas is regulated under the Planning Regulation 2017. Please note that these areas only apply to lots in the South East Queensland "Shaping SEQ" Regional Plan area.

Under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 (the Act) it is an offence to clear protected plants that are 'in the wild' unless you are authorised or the clearing is exempt, for more information see section 89 of the Act.
Please see the Department of Environment and Science webpage on the clearing of protected plants for information on what exemptions may apply in your circumstances, whether you may need to undertake a flora survey, and whether you may need a protected plants clearing permit.
Updates to the data informing the flora survey trigger map The flora survey trigger map will be reviewed, and updated if necessary, at least every 12 months to ensure the map reflects the most up-to-date and accurate data available.
Species information Please note that flora survey trigger maps do not identify species associated with 'high risk areas'. While some species information may be publicly available, for example via the Queensland Spatial Catalogue, the Department of Environment and Science does not provide species information on request. Regardless of whether species information is available for a particular high risk area, clearing plants in a high risk area may require a flora survey and/or clearing permit. Please see the Department of Environment and Science webpage on the clearing of protected plants for more information.

Vegetation management report, Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy, 2020 Page 4 1. Vegetation management framework
The Vegetation Management Act 1999 (VMA), the Vegetation Management Regulation 2012, the Planning Act 2016 and the Planning Regulation 2017, in conjunction with associated policies and codes, form the Vegetation Management Framework.
The VMA does not apply to all land tenures or vegetation types. State forests, national parks, forest reserves and some tenures under the Forestry Act 1959 and Nature Conservation Act 1992 are not regulated by the VMA. Managing or clearing vegetation on these tenures may require approvals under these laws.
The following native vegetation is not regulated under the VMA but may require permit(s) under other laws: • grass or non-woody herbage; • a plant within a grassland regional ecosystem prescribed under Schedule 5 of the Vegetation Management Regulation 2012; and • a mangrove.
1.1 Exempt clearing work
Exempt clearing work is an activity for which you do not need to notify DNRME or obtain an approval approval under the vegetation management framework. Exempt clearing work was previously known as exemptions.
In areas that are mapped as Category X (white in colour) on the regulated vegetation management map (see section 5.1), and where the land tenure is freehold, indigenous land and leasehold land for agriculture and grazing purposes, the clearing of vegetation is considered exempt clearing work and does not require notification or development approval approval under the vegetation management framework. For all other land tenures, contact DNRME before commencing clearing to ensure that the proposed activity is exempt clearing work.
A range of routine property management activities are considered exempt clearing work. A list of exempt clearing work is available at https://www.qld.gov.au/environment/land/vegetation/exemptions/.
Exempt clearing work may be affected if the proposed clearing area is subject to development approval conditions, a covenant, an environmental offset, an exchange area, a restoration notice, or an area mapped as Category A. Exempt clearing work may require approval under other Commonwealth, State or Local Government laws, or local government planning schemes. Contact DNRME prior to clearing in any of these areas.
1.2 Accepted development vegetation clearing codes
Some clearing activities can be undertaken under an accepted development vegetation clearing code. The codes can be downloaded at https://www.qld.gov.au/environment/land/vegetation/codes/
If you intend to clear vegetation under an accepted development vegetation clearing code, you must notify DNRME before commencing. The information in this report will assist you to complete the online notification form.
You can complete the online form at https://apps.dnrm.qld.gov.au/vegetation/
Vegetation management report, Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy, 2020 Page 5 1.3 Area management plans
Area Management Plans (AMP) provide an alternative approval system for vegetation clearing under the vegetation management framework. They list the purposes and clearing conditions that have been approved for the areas covered by the plan. It is not necessary to use an AMP, even when an AMP applies to your property.
On 8 March 2020, AMPs ended for fodder harvesting, managing thickened vegetation and managing encroachment. New notifications cannot be made for these AMPs. You will need to consider options for fodder harvesting, managing thickened vegetation or encroachment under a relevant accepted development vegetation clearing code or apply for a development approval.
New notifications can be made for all other AMPs. These will continue to apply until their nominated end date.
If an area management plan applies to your property for which you can make a new notification, it will be listed in Section 2.2 of this report. Before clearing under one of these AMPs, you must first notify the DNRME and then follow the conditions and requirements listed in the AMP. https://www.qld.gov.au/environment/land/vegetation/area-plans/
1.4 Development approvals
If under the vegetation management framework your proposed clearing is not exempt clearing work, or is not permitted under an accepted development vegetation clearing code, or an AMP, you may be able to apply for a development approval. Information on how to apply for a development approval is available at https://www.qld.gov.au/environment/land/management/vegetation/development

Please note: 1. All area and area derived figures included in this table have been calculated via reprojecting relevant spatial features to Albers equal-area conic projection (central meridian = 146, datum Geocentric Datum of Australia 1994). As a result, area figures may differ slightly if calculated for the same features using a different co-ordinate system. 2. If Table 5 contains a Category 'plant', please be aware that this refers to 'plantations' such as forestry, and these areas are considered non-remnant under the VMA.
The VMA status of the regional ecosystem (whether it is endangered, of concern or least concern) also determines if any of the following are applicable: • exempt clearing work • accepted development vegetation clearing codes • performance outcomes in State Development Assessment Provisions (SDAP).
3.3 Watercourses
Vegetation management watercourses and drainage features for this property are shown on the vegetation management supporting map in section 5.2.
3.4 Wetlands
There are no vegetation management wetlands present on this property.
3.5 Essential habitat
Protected wildlife is native wildlife prescribed under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 (NCA), and includes endangered, vulnerable or near-threatened wildlife.
Essential habitat for protected wildlife includes suitable habitat on the lot, or where a species has been known to occur up to 1.1 kilometres from a lot on which there is assessable vegetation. These important habitat areas are protected under the VMA.
Vegetation management report, Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy, 2020 Page 9 Any essential habitat on this property will be shown as blue hatching on the vegetation supporting map in section 5.2.
If essential habitat is identified on the lot, information about the protected wildlife species is provided in Table 6 below. The numeric labels on the vegetation management supporting map can be cross referenced with Table 6 to outline the essential habitat factors for that particular species. There may be essential habitat for more than one species on each lot, and areas of Category A, Category B and Category C can be mapped as Essential Habitat.
Essential habitat is compiled from a combination of species habitat models and buffered species records. Regional ecosystem is a mandatory essential habitat factor, unless otherwise stated. Essential habitat, for protected wildlife, means an area of vegetation shown on the Regulated Vegetation Management Map as assessable vegetation - 1) that has at least 3 essential habitat factors for the protected wildlife that must include any essential habitat factors that are stated as mandatory for the protected wildlife in the essential habitat database. Essential habitat factors are comprised of - regional ecosystem (mandatory for most species), vegetation community, altitude, soils, position in landscape; or 2) in which the protected wildlife, at any stage of its life cycle, is located.
If there is no essential habitat mapping shown on the vegetation management supporting map for this lot, and there is no table in the sections below, it confirms that there is no essential habitat on the lot.

3.6 Protected plants (administered by the Department of Environment and Science (DES))
In Queensland, all plants that are native to Australia are protected plants under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 (NCA), with clearing of protected plants in the wild regulated by the Nature Conservation (Wildlife Management) Regulation 2006. These requirements apply irrespective of the classification of the vegetation under the Vegetation Management Act 1999.
Prior to clearing, if the plants proposed to be cleared are in the wild (see Operational policy: When a protected plant in Queensland is considered to be 'in the wild') and the exemptions under the Nature Conservation (Wildlife Management) Regulation 2006 are not applicable to the proposed clearing, you must check the flora survey trigger map to determine if any part of the area to be cleared is within a high risk area. The trigger map for this property is provided in section 5.6. The exemptions relate to: • imminent risk of death or serious injury (refer s261A) • imminent risk of serious damage to a building or other structure on land, or to personal property (refer s261B) • Fire and Emergency Service Act 1990 (refer 261C) • previously cleared areas (refer s261ZB) • maintenance activities (refer s261ZC) • firebreak or fire management line (refer s261ZD) • accepted development vegetation clearing code (refer s261ZE) • conservation purposes (refer s261ZG) • authorised in particular circumstances (refer s385).
Some exemptions under the NCA are the same as exempt clearing work (formerly known as exemptions) from the Vegetation Management Act 1999 (i.e. listed in the Planning Regulations 2017) while some are different.
If the proposed area to be cleared is shown as high risk on the flora survey trigger map, a flora survey of the clearing impact area must be undertaken in accordance with the flora survey guidelines. The main objective of a flora survey is to locate any endangered, vulnerable or near threatened plants (EVNT plants) that may be present in the clearing impact area.
If a flora survey identifies that EVNT plants are not present within the clearing impact area or clearing within 100m of EVNT plants can be avoided, the clearing activity is exempt from a permit. An exempt clearing notification form must be submitted to the Department of Environment and Science, with a copy of the flora survey report, at least one week prior to clearing. The clearing must be conducted within two years after the flora survey report was submitted.
If a flora survey identifies that EVNT plants are present in, or within 100m of, the area to be cleared, a clearing permit is required before any clearing is undertaken. The flora survey report, as well as an impact management report, must be
Vegetation management report, Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy, 2020 Page 10 submitted with the application form clearing permit.
In an area other than a high risk area, a clearing permit is only required where a person is, or becomes aware that EVNT plants are present in, or within 100m of, the area to be cleared. You must keep a copy of the flora survey trigger map for the area subject to clearing for five years from the day the clearing starts. If you do not clear within the 12 month period that the flora survey trigger map was printed, you need to print and check a new flora survey trigger map.

The koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) is listed in Queensland as vulnerable by the Queensland Government under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 and by the Australian Government under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.
The Nature Conservation (Koala) Conservation Plan 2017 allows koala habitat areas and koala priority areas to be determined and requires that these are shown on the Koala Conservation Plan Map. Koala habitat areas are areas that contain koala habitat which is essential for the conservation of a viable koala population in the wild. Please note that these areas only apply to lots in the South East Queensland "Shaping SEQ" Regional Plan area. These areas include the local government areas of Brisbane, Gold Coast, Logan, Lockyer Valley, Ipswich, Moreton Bay, Noosa, Redland, Scenic Rim, Somerset, Sunshine Coast and Toowoomba (urban extent).
Koala habitat areas include koala habitat areas (core) and koala habitat areas (locally refined). Following input from each local government, koala habitat areas (locally refined) were developed. Koala habitat areas (locally refined) will be afforded the same protection during a two year transitional period as if they were koala habitat areas (core) identified by the State.
Koala priority areas are areas where long-term management (e.g. habitat protection, habitat restoration and threat mitigation) and monitoring will be strategically focused as the areas have the highest likelihood of achieving conservation outcomes for koalas.
Clearing koala habitat areas in a koala priority area is prohibited, except for in certain circumstances (see Schedule 10, 16A of the Planning Regulation 2017). Clearing cannot occur (other than for exempt activities) and a development application cannot be lodged for prohibited activities.
Development located inside a koala priority area on lots that contain koala habitat area, but do not involve clearing of koala habitat, will be assessed by local government, except for in certain circumstances (see Schedule 11, Parts 1 and 2 of the Planning Regulation 2017). This is to manage and minimise impacts on koala habitat, such as edge effects.
Outside of koala priority areas, clearing of koala habitat areas must be avoided, mitigated or offset. Development that is proposing to clear koala habitat area will be assessed by the Queensland Government, except for in certain circumstances (see Schedule 10, 16B of the Planning Regulation 2017).
For more information on development requirements see https://environment.des.qld.gov.au/wildlife/animals/living-with/koalas/mapping/legislation-policy.
Landholders (or a person acting on landholder's behalf) can request to have a koala habitat area determination for an area made, amended or revoked if they believe there is an error. For more information, see https://environment.des.qld.gov.au/wildlife/animals/living-with/koalas/mapping/legislation-policy.
The koala conservation plan maps will be updated at least annually to include any koala habitat areas that have been made, amended or revoked.
In order to ensure that the most recent map for an area of interest can be accessed, prior to the annual update, a register of changes made to koala habitat areas as a result of the map amendment process will be available at: https://environment.des.qld.gov.au/wildlife/animals/living-with/koalas/mapping/. The register will include lot on plan for the change, the date the decision was made and the map issued to the landholder which shows areas determined to be koala habitat areas.
For further information on the regulatory framework for koala conservation, including koala priority areas and koala habitat areas, please see the Queensland Government website at https://environment.des.qld.gov.au/wildlife/animals/living-with/koalas/mapping/legislation-policy or contact Koala Assessment

The ERF is an Australian Government scheme which offers incentives for businesses and communities across the economy to reduce emissions.
Under the ERF, landholders can earn money from activities such as planting (and keeping) trees, managing regrowth vegetation and adopting more sustainable agricultural practices.
The purpose of a project is to remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. Each project will provide new economic opportunities for farmers, forest growers and land managers.
Further information on ERF is available at https://www.qld.gov.au/environment/land/state/use/carbon-rights/.

Regulated vegetation management map The regulated vegetation management map shows vegetation categories needed to determine clearing requirements. These maps are updated monthly to show new property maps of assessable vegetation (PMAV).
Vegetation management supporting map The vegetation management supporting map provides information on regional ecosystems, wetlands, watercourses and essential habitat.
Pre-clear map The vegetation management pre-clear regional ecosystem mapping shows the regional ecosystem, location and extent which is likely to have occurred at that location prior to clearing. This map can be used for identifying exchange areas under the "Managing regulated regrowth vegetation" accepted development vegetation clearing code. It may also be used for for identifying offsets under the vegetation management framework.
Coastal/non coastal map The coastal/non-coastal map confirms whether the lot, or which parts of the lot, are considered coastal or non-coastal for the purposes of the accepted development vegetation clearing codes and the State Development Assessment Provisions (SDAP).
Agricultural Land Class A or B The Agricultural Land Class map confirms the location and extent of land mapped as Agricultural Land Classes A or B as identified on the State Planning Interactive Mapping System. Please note that this map does not include areas identified as Agricultural Land Class A or B in local government planning schemes. This map can be used to identify Agricultural Land Class A or B areas under the "Managing regulated regrowth vegetation" accepted development vegetation clearing code.
Protected plants map The protected plants map shows areas where particular provisions of the Nature Conservation Act 1992 apply to the clearing of protected plants.
Koala priority area and koala habitat area map The koala map shows area of koala priority area and koala habitat under the Nature Conservation (Koala) Conservation Plan 2017. Clearing of habitat in these areas is regulated under the Planning Regulation 2017. Please note that these areas only apply to lots in the South East Queensland "Shaping SEQ" Regional Plan area.

Vegetation management report, Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy, 2020 Page 19 Protected plants flora survey trigger map The protected plants flora survey trigger map identifies 'high risk areas' where endangered, vulnerable or near threatened plants are known to exist or are likely to exist. Under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 (the Act) it is an offence to clear protected plants that are 'in the wild' unless you are authorised or the clearing is exempt, for more information see section 89 of the Act.
Please see the Department of Environment and Science webpage on the clearing of protected plants for information on what exemptions may apply in your circumstances, whether you may need to undertake a flora survey, and whether you may need a protected plants clearing permit.
Updates to the data informing the flora survey trigger map The flora survey trigger map will be reviewed, and updated if necessary, at least every 12 months to ensure the map reflects the most up-to-date and accurate data available.
Species information Please note that flora survey trigger maps do not identify species associated with 'high risk areas'. While some species information may be publicly available, for example via the Queensland Spatial Catalogue, the Department of Environment and Science does not provide species information on request. Regardless of whether species information is available for a particular high risk area, clearing plants in a high risk area may require a flora survey and/or clearing permit. Please see the Department of Environment and Science webpage on the clearing of protected plants for more information.

The proposed development consists of dredging, screening and removing quarry material (maximum 100,000m³ over 12 months) from the Haughton River (state land) (adjacent to subject lots) with a total allocation of 424,935m³, described as sites B-F as depicted in the supporting information listed above. Screening will occur within the riverbed. Stockpiling has not been proposed.
Access tracks are proposed within Lot 8 on SP123168 and Lot 7 on SP117628 and on existing roads (Black Road, unlinked road, Morrill Road and Bill Britt Road). Existing cleared tracks are proposed to be utilised. An access track on Lot 8 on SP123168 requires establishment and hence clearing of native vegetation. Clearing has not been proposed. However, it will be constructed from select materials found on-site and consist of larger sized gravel mixed with finer sands to form a stable pavement for vehicle use.
The applicant advised that the approved haul route under 1811-8553 SRA (for allocations A and G) will be utilised for the current proposal. with further amendment.
The department has carried out a review of the information provided and the impacts of the proposal.

To address the SDAP the applicant should demonstrate how acceptable outcomes will be achieved. If the development cannot meet an acceptable outcome, the applicant should provide evidence on how the proposal meets the performance outcome. If a development application complies with some, but not all, relevant performance outcomes, the State Assessment and Referral Agency (SARA) will determine whether the application complies with the purpose statement of the relevant state code.
SARA charges development assessment fees for assessing a matter of interest to the state triggered by the Planning Regulation 2017. It is the applicant’s responsibility to ensure the correct fees are paid to enable an application to be properly made.
1. Protection of state transport networks The following information be submitted with the development application:
1.1 Haul Route Plan A plan of the proposed haul route (including intersection with the state-controlled road) for heavy vehicles associated with the development is required.
1.2 Traffic Impact Assessment The applicant is to prepare and submit a Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) in accordance with the Department of Transport and Main Roads (DTMR), Guide to Traffic Impact Assessment (GTIA), certified by a Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland (RPEQ); to demonstrate that the development will not result in a worsening of safety, infrastructure condition or operating performance (that is, efficiency) of the state-controlled road network.
The TIA is to provide information about and address the following, as a minimum: a. the expected increase in traffic generated and distribution of traffic to the surrounding network including light and heavy vehicle movements and types. b. identify the upper limit of volumes (tonnages) of material expected to be the extraction anticipated within the life of the proposed extractive industry. c. a description of the existing operational conditions of the road network and assessment of the impact of the development on current or projected operational characteristics of state-controlled roads including safety, intersection delays, turning movements and transport infrastructure. d. an analysis of the operation and impact of the proposed development on the Upper Haughton Road / Bruce Highway intersection including: i. heavy vehicles turning right off the Bruce Highway entering Upper Haughton Road. ii. potential safety and queuing problems associated with the railway level crossing at this intersection. e. mitigation measures to ensure no adverse impact on the safety and efficiency of the State- controlled road network. f. where traffic associated with the development, equals or exceeds 5% of the background traffic in terms of standard axle repetitions (SAR) or the thresholds identified in the GTIA, a Pavement Impact Assessment (PIA) will also be required in accordance with the GTIA.
As the TIA submitted with the earlier development approval (1811-8553 SRA, for allocations A and G) did not take into account the traffic impact associated with the current proposal, it is recommended that a revised/amended TIA is submitted with the development application.
2. Removal of quarry material from a watercourse or lake The proponent is required to apply for development approval to extract the resource allocated under QMA10000184. The State Development Assessment Provisions current at the time the development application is lodged with the assessment manager will be used in assessing the application.
State Assessment and Referral Agency Page 3 of 10 2006-17359 SPL
The proponent should address performance outcomes PO1 to PO5 of the State Development Assessment Provisions – State code 15: Removal of quarry material from a watercourse or lake. During the assessment of the QMAN, the Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy considered the performance outcomes outlined in State Code 15. No additional information will be required to address the relevant performance outcomes.
3. Native vegetation clearing The proposed development impacts the following vegetation types and features on statutory vegetation management mapping: Category B areas (containing least concern regional ecosystems); and, Watercourses and drainage features.
The mapped regional ecosystems impacted by the proposed development are: 11.3.25b/11.3.25f; and, 11.3.35/11.3.35a.
Information on the land is available at: Queensland Globe - https://qldglobe.information.qld.gov.au/ A vegetation management report online at - www.qld.gov.au/environment/land/vegetation/map- request/. The report includes relevant property information and a series of maps and supporting information outlining the requirements for clearing vegetation on this land; and, The Regional Ecosystem Description Database - https://apps.des.qld.gov.au/regional-ecosystems/.
3.1 Referral advice The pre-application material does not confirm whether clearing of native vegetation is required to facilitate the proposed development. Based on the information available, the Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy considers that the proposed development application will result in clearing of vegetation that is assessable development or accepted operational work and therefore recommends referral under Schedule 10 of the Planning Regulation 2017.
3.2 Relevant purpose determination A relevant purpose determination under section 22A of the Vegetation Management Act 1999 is required where a development application is for a material change of use or operational works. Prior to submitting a development application to clear native vegetation, the proponent must first obtain written confirmation from the Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy that the proposed development is for a relevant purpose under section 22A of the Vegetation Management Act.
The Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy notes that the proponent has, on 18 June 2020, submitted a request for a relevant purpose determination for the proposed development.
3.3 Development application A development application for a material change of use will need to address and meet the requirements of the State Development Assessment Provisions - State code 16: Native vegetation clearing. The proponent will need to address Table 16.2.2 PO1-PO4 and Table 16.2.3 PO7, PO11, PO16, PO20, PO22-PO24, PO27 and PO28 of the code.
Guidance on how to comply with this code is provided in State Development Assessment Provisions Guidance Material: State code 16: Native vegetation clearing, Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy, 2019. Appendix 2 of this guideline provides details on the standard application information for all development applications involving the clearing of native vegetation. This guideline is available at: https://www.dnrm.qld.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0010/1258075/state-code-16-veg-clearing-guide.pdf.
State Assessment and Referral Agency Page 4 of 10 2006-17359 SPL
Providing the applicable information detailed in Appendix 2 of the guideline will also alleviate the need for an information request process that asks the proponent for further information or imposing a condition on the development.
3.4 Further information – extractive industry The Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy recommends that a development plan be provided with the development application that shows: the subject Lots on Plan, development plan title, plan reference number, version number, date and author mapped regulated vegetation over the area proposed for development the methods of extraction and type of material to be extracted location of operational areas (screening, stockpiling etc.) associated with the proposed development the methods of treating the extracted materials (screening etc.) existing and proposed infrastructure including roads, service and utility connections (including underground services), buildings and fences all vegetation clearing associated with items (c), (d), (e) and (f); and, proposed firebreaks and/or safety buffers around infrastructure and operational areas. The Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy will use the relevant regional ecosystem description to calculate the applicable firebreak/safety buffer, unless alternative evidence is outlined in the development application. Evidence must include tree height measurements and photographs of the tallest vegetation adjacent to the proposed infrastructure. Each photograph should include a survey staff or object of known height and be accompanied by a record of its GPS location.
3.5 General advice Provision of this technical agency pre-lodgement advice is conditional upon the extent of development as shown in drawing titled ‘Haughton River Quarry Extraction Area and Access Routes’, number 118407-03- 01, revision C, prepared by RPS, dated 26/10/2018. Any amendments to this plan may result in this advice being invalid.
If further information is required in regard to vegetation management matters, please contact the Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy via: [email protected].
4. Constructing or raising waterway barrier works in fish habitats
4.1 Waterway barrier works are triggered at the operational works stage. A successful application for a MCU may confer rights to landholders to carry out actions, which constitute waterway barrier works. Therefore, it is recommended that fish passage considerations are accounted for in the MCU application. Whether or not any operational works subsequent to the MCU would constitute waterway barrier works will ultimately depend upon their nature and potential to impact fish passage within the waterways.
4.2 The proposed works are located on a mapped waterway according to the Queensland waterways for waterway barrier works spatial data layer and may constitute waterway barrier works.
The applicant should refer to the following factsheets for more information on waterway barrier works: What is a waterway?; What is a waterway barrier work?; What is not a waterway barrier work?
State Assessment and Referral Agency Page 5 of 10 2006-17359 SPL
4.3 Any works that will reduce the cross-sectional area or raise the natural bed level of the waterway will constitute waterway barrier works. The pre-lodgement material suggests screening of material is proposed to occur within the riverbed. If the deposition of these screen sediments, or any other associated works, will reduce the cross-sectional area or raise the natural bed level of the waterway, the works will constitute waterway barrier works. If the works constitute waterway barrier works, future operational works approvals for constructing or raising a waterway barrier works in fish habitats will be required.
4.4 Under the Planning Regulation 2017, works involving constructing or raising waterway barrier works must be undertaken in accordance with the relevant accepted development requirements or under a development approval (assessable development). Some temporary waterway barrier works may be able to be conducted under the accepted development requirements (see information under point 4.17 below).
However, permanent modifications to the waterway that constitute waterway barrier works would not comply with the accepted development requirements (ADR) as the proposal to extract quarry material is not a prescribed work type in the ADR. A development approval would be required for any assessable development that is constructing or raising waterway barrier works. The following sections provide information that would be relevant if a waterway barrier works application is required for any of the proposed works.
4.5 In any application for a development approval for operational works involving constructing or raising waterway barrier works, the following will need to be provided: Completed copy of DA Form 1 including Template 4 – Waterway barrier works; A full response to the relevant parts of the most up to date version of the SDAP State Code 18: Constructing or raising waterway barrier works in fish habitats. Particular attention should be paid to the following PO’s: All development - PO1 to PO18 and PO36; Temporary waterway barrier works - PO32 to PO35. Relevant plans as per DSDMIP’s DA Forms guide: Relevant plans, including: Detailed plans clearly showing the location of the proposed works in relation to existing mapped waterways; Detailed plans clearly showing a cross section of the proposed waterway barrier works in relation to the existing bed and banks of each impacted waterway; A longitudinal section of the proposed waterway barrier works in relation to the bed of the waterway upstream and downstream of the works; Note – all plans should be able to be read to scale at A3 size Written documentation discussing the following: Details of the purpose of the proposed works; A description of the waterway proposed to be impacted (e.g. condition, size, connectivity, general hydrology) and nature of the impact; A description of the work method (e.g. timing, equipment to be used); A detailed description of the alternatives considered to reduce impacts on the waterway, as applicable (e.g. alternative designs, locations, setbacks/buffer distances, etc.); Details of on-site mitigation actions, during and after the development; The extent of any future maintenance works required for the continued safe operation of the proposed structure or facility; and Impacts to fish passage. It must firstly be demonstrated that impacts to waterways providing for fish passage have been avoided. Where avoidance is not reasonably possible, impacts to waterways providing for fish passage must be mitigated. An environmental offset pursuant to the Environmental Offsets Act 2014 may need to be provided for any significant residual impact.
State Assessment and Referral Agency Page 6 of 10 2006-17359 SPL
4.6 In accordance with PO1 of the SDAP State Code 18, there is a demonstrated need for the development, with alternatives (location, design, methods) which have a lesser impact to fish passage are shown to be non-viable. Extracting riverbed material may significantly alter the waterway hydrology, impact fish passage and remove habitat for fisheries resources. The application will need to include alternative locations and methodologies considered to remove the sediments and demonstrate the chosen location and method has minimised impacts to fisheries resources. The application will need to discuss all impacts these works may have on the waterway, fish passage and fish habitats.
4.7 In accordance with PO2 of the SDAP State Code 18, only those aspects of a development that have a functional requirement to be located within a waterway are supported. Ancillary elements related to the development are to occur outside the waterway. The application material has stated that screening of the extraction material will occur within the riverbed. An application is required to outline the screening process and justify why it must occur within the waterway and is not considered ancillary to the development. It is advised to provide plans detailing that all other aspects of the development (roads, car parking, storage areas, stockpiles, site offices etc.) are located away from the high bank.
4.8 In accordance with PO3 of the SDAP State Code 18, the number and extent of waterway barrier works, and the spatial and temporal extent of their impacts on waterways providing for fish passage are minimised. It is advised to provide a timeline of the proposed works detailing when works are expected to take place (within the dry season) and for how many years the extraction process is expected to go for.
4.9 In accordance with PO4 of the SDAP State Code 18, for the life of the barrier, adequate fish passage must be provided and maintained. A development application will need to demonstrate how adequate fish passage will be provided and maintained throughout the life of the extraction works, as well as post extraction works.
4.10 In accordance with PO5 of the SDAP State Code 18, waterway barrier works are to be designed, constructed, operated and maintained to provide lateral and longitudinal fish passage for all members of the fish community, regardless of size, species, life stage, swimming ability etc.
4.11 In accordance with PO6 of the SDAP State Code 18, development is designed and operated so that all components of waterway barrier works provide for fish passage. Detailing how all phases within the extraction process operates (including the screening within the riverbed) and can still provide fish passage will demonstrate compliance with PO6.
4.12 In accordance with PO8, development does not increase the risk of mortality, disease or injury, or compromise the health productivity, marketability or suitability for human consumption of fisheries resources having regard to: Biotic and abiotic conditions, such as water and sediment quality Substances that are toxic to plants, fish or can cumulate within fish Design of structures Impacts on reproductive stress Effect on fish energy reserves Whether fish may be physically damaged, trapped, injured, killed or stranded Fish passage and access to habitat generally Impacts of pest fish
Concerns are raised as to impacts to water quality from the extraction and screening works. A development application is required to outline how impacts to water quality will be managed during
State Assessment and Referral Agency Page 7 of 10 2006-17359 SPL
the works. Concerns are raised as to the finished levels of the waterway bed post extraction potentially creating pools where fish can be trapped or stranded. Concerns are raised as to fish being injured / damaged and/or killed via the extraction works. Outlining the methodology will aid in demonstrating the likelihood of physically harming fish via the earthworks.
4.13 In accordance with PO11 of the SDAP State Code 18, sufficient water exchange and flow is maintained and provided to sustain and where necessary, restore water quality and the health and condition of fisheries resources, ecological functions and fish passage. Concerns are raised as to the extraction works significantly altering the waterway flow conditions, fish passage and ecological function of the waterway. A development application is required to demonstrate how ecological functions will be maintained and restored during and post extraction.
4.14 In accordance with PO13 of the SDAP State Code 18, construction avoids direct and indirect disturbance to the beds, banks and adjacent vegetation. Minimisation of disturbance to the banks of the waterway is required to be demonstrated. A development application is required to outline how the extracted material will be moved from the waterway to avoid bank disturbance as much as possible.
4.15 In accordance with PO14 of the SDAP State Code 18, after completion of in-stream works, disturbed areas of the bed and banks of the waterway are returned to their original profile. A development application is required to demonstrate, for each extraction pit, the finished levels and restoration of the disturbed banks will occur. A restoration plan is advised to be provided.
4.16 In accordance with PO15 of the SDAP State Code 18, the natural substrate of the waterway bed is retained or reconstructed so that post construction substrate is comparable to the natural substrate. The final levels of the waterway bed post extraction are to be shown on plans and reflect as much as possible the existing conditions pre extraction. Extraction pits left that will create pools where fish can be trapped or stranded need to be avoided.
4.17 In accordance with PO32 to PO35 of the SDAP State Code 18, any temporary waterway barrier works must only be in place for a temporary period and the site fully restored to accommodate fish passage requirements after works are removed. Temporary waterway barriers on a purple waterway can only be in place for 180 calendar days.
4.18 Temporary waterway barrier works in the form of erosion and sediment controls, temporary bunds, site access tracks, or flow diversions, may be necessary to facilitate the proposed works. Such works may be conducted under the relevant Accepted development requirements for operational work that is constructing or raising waterway barrier works. However, if works cannot comply with the ADR, this component must be included in any development application as assessable development.
4.19 In accordance with PO36 of the SDAP State Code 18, the department maintains an ‘avoid, mitigate, offset’ requirement that applies to matters of State environmental significance (MSES). The applicant will need to provide details on how impacts to waterways providing for fish passage will be avoided, and where avoidance is not reasonably possible, how impacts to waterways providing for fish passage have been minimised and mitigated. Notwithstanding measures to avoid and mitigate impacts to waterways providing for fish passage, the works may result in a Significant Residual Impact (SRI) and require an environmental offset. An environmental offset will not be considered until it has been demonstrated that all reasonable measures have been taken to firstly avoid and/or mitigate impacts to waterways providing for fish passage (refer to DSDMIP’s Environmental offsets and the planning framework factsheets and guidelines for further details).

If the property is a lease or tenure other than freehold, you should seek advice from the State Land Asset Management (SLAM) group of the department to determine if the proposed clearing purpose can be carried out on such tenure. SLAM can be contacted on 13 74 68.
Prior to lodging a development application, it is strongly recommended that, you arrange a pre- lodgement meeting through the State Assessment and Referral Agency (SARA) to identify all relevant State legislation, approvals and application requirements.
Please note, clearing vegetation to the extent the clearing is in any category C areas or category R areas is not for a relevant purpose under the Vegetation Management Act 1999. Accordingly clearing of vegetation in these areas cannot be approved under a development approval. If your proposed development includes clearing vegetation in any category C areas or category R areas you should ensure this clearing can be undertaken as exempt clearing work or in accordance with an Accepted Development Vegetation Clearing Code (ADVCC). Clearing vegetation in any category C areas or category R areas that is not exempt or in accordance with an ADVCC is prohibited development. Information on exempt clearing work or ADVCCs is available online at www.qld.gov.au (search ‘exempt clearing work’ or ‘accepted development vegetation clearing codes’).
Other relevant Commonwealth or State approvals may also be required to undertake vegetation clearing. An indicative list of other legislation is provided in Attachment 1.

Decision Notice
Application for an allocation of quarry material: Quarry Material Allocation Notice QMA10000184
This decision notice is given in accordance with section 230(3) of the Water Act 2000 in respect of the decision to grant an application for a new quarry material allocation notice.
Decision The Department of Natural Resources and Mines delegates officers to exercise the power of the chief executive to make decisions about applications for an allocation of quarry material.
As a delegated officer of this department, on 1 April 2019 I have decided to grant with conditions the above application, for an amended volume.
Background Matters Pursuant to section 227 of the Water Act 2000, a person may apply for an allocation of quarry material. Burdekin Transport Pty Ltd applied for an allocation of 500 000 cubic metres of quarry material in the Haughton River, at an extraction rate of 100 000 cubic metres per year, for a period of 5 years. The application for Site A-F was received on the 4 January 2018 (receipt # 2387450) at the department’s Townsville office. Site G application was received 26 November 2018. Further information for the original application demonstrating sufficient material was available was requested on 24 May 2018, and received on 24 August 2018. Information demonstrating material available for Site G was received 22 March 2019.
The Haughton Basin is comprised of a small number of short near coastal catchments located between Townsville and Ayr. The headwaters rise in the Mt Elliot, Hervey and Leichhardt Ranges and flow in a northerly direction towards Giru where it discharges into Bowling Green Bay. The Haughton River is the primary catchment with its main tributaries the Reid River and Major Creek. There are a small number of independent catchments of which only Barratta Creek is significant. The Haughton Basin has a total catchment area of approximately 4,051 km2. The Haughton River is the only watercourse within the Haughton Basin with current riverine quarry material extraction operations.
The Department of Natural Resources and Mines is aware of two relevant sediment studies for the proposal area: Kinhill Cameron and McNamara, 1993, Townsville Thuringowa Sand and Gravel Strategy Study. BC2403, DPI – Water Resources, City of Thurngowa, and the Department of Transport, Townsville.

Major Creek (~AMTD 35 km); and, o An average material transport rate (AMTR) of 60,000m³/y (i.e. active material).1 Dalla Pozza finding of an annual deposition of: o up to 25 000 m2/y between GS 119033 (AMTD 32.5 km) and the Bruce Highway (AMTD 21 km) [Reach 2]; and, o up to 33 000 m2/y between the Bruce Highway and the tidal limit (AMTD 15.5 km) [Reach 1].
These findings are affirmed by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority’s 2013 Haughton basin assessment: Burdekin dry tropics natural resource management region2, which identifies concern that coarser sands (e.g. quarry material) has been building up in this reach of the river, and that the material is not being transported to the coast due to the weir and lowered velocities in the lower part of the system.
GHD’s 2003 Giru Flood Study3 (commissioned by the Burdekin Shire Rivers Improvement Trust) confirmed that the identified reach exhibits a high level of sediment deposition and vegetation growth, which exacerbates deposition by reducing flow velocities.
Department records show that from 1999 to August 2018, a total of 669 351 cubic metres has been extracted from the Haughton River, with an average extraction rate of 35 229 cubic metres per year (Table 1). The Haughton River sub-catchment area is currently over allocated in terms of the AMTR but under-utilised (Table 2).
There has been no material extracted from the proposed area since 2001. The proposed extraction area includes a current QMAN issued for the site for 7 500m3 (QMAN 300301). There is no development approval associated with QMAN 300301, and therefore no material may be extracted.
Kinhill and Dalla Pozza’s studies indicate that the 2 000 000 m3 inactive deposit will have steadily increased based on average material transport rates, with deposition exceeding quarry material extraction. Based on accumulated deposit, AMTR and historic extraction operations, the proposed extraction rate and volume is theoretically sustainable.

The application is for a one-off allocation of inactive material deposited between -19°38'16.90597'', 147°6'26.50048'' and -19°42'14.95598'', 147°4'4.34137'' (within/adjacent to Reach 2), and therefore not limited to average annual recharge rates.
Inactive material is usually the result of infrequent major flood events depositing significant quantities of material in low velocity areas, such as inner bends or low bed gradient reaches. Inactive material is unlikely to be further transported in low to moderate, or more frequent, flow events. Active material is readily transported in frequent flow events and is the basis of average material transport rates.
The Haughton River channel in the proposed allocation area is part of the SunWater distribution network. The Haughton River is predominantly ephemeral, with flow generally restricted to the wet season, and therefore usually dry April – November. Photogrammetry was undertaken by RPS in August 2018, with wet season flows ending March 2018. No unsupplemented flow during August 2018 was detected at surface water gauging station 119003A Haughton River at Powerline (19°37'59.3"S, 147°06'37.0"E) or 119005A Haughton River at Mount Piccaninny (upstream of site at 19°46'30.4"S, 146°57'33.8"E). Therefore the aerial imagery and photogrammetry are taken to indicate average dry season flows.
Site A The proposed site as shown in drawing ‘118407-001B Extraction Area A – Depth Shading Above RL 10.0m’ and ‘118407-001B Extraction Area A – Aerial Mosaic’ is outside the low flow channel, and above the prevailing water level as indicated by the low flow channel ‘top of bank’ in drawings 118407-001B Extraction Area A Cross Sections Sheets 1 - 3 being lower than RL 10.0 m. The site is on a slight outer bend, and has significant sand deposition, likely due to the narrowing and highly vegetated immediate downstream reach.
Extraction volume calculations provided are based on extraction from RL 10 metres, with the highest point of sand at approximately 16 metres. The total extraction volume proposed above RL 10 m is 94 994 cubic metres.
Site A also contains a 7500 cubic metre allocation (QMAN 300301), however there is no associated development approval for this QMAN/site. This allocation is based on active sediment transport, and there is sufficient in situ material to support both the proposed and existing allocation.
As RPS have buffered the proposed site from vegetation, the low flow channel, and toe of bank, the sustainable extraction volume based on accumulative cut volumes is 94 994 cubic metres.
Site B The proposed site as shown in drawing ‘118407-002B Extraction Area B – Aerial Mosaic & Depth Shading Above RL 15.0’ includes the low flow channel. Extraction volume calculations provided are based on extraction from RL 15 metres.
The total extraction volume proposed from RL 15 m to RL 21 metres (highest point) is 116 291 cubic metres. The prevailing water level and low flow channel in August 2018 are depth shaded at approximately 4.0 to 4.2 above RL 15 m. Analysis of cross sections provided for chainages 0 to 350 support this modelling (see drawings 118407-002B Extraction Area B Cross Sections sheets 1 – 3).
The site is on a slight inner bend and part of a point deposit. Sand accumulation in this site is likely due to the narrowing and highly vegetated immediate downstream reach.
Excavations within the low flow channel are likely to impact the conveyance of water past the site, and detriment water quality. The applicant has not demonstrated water quality management or how flows will be maintained during operations.
Buffers have therefore been put in place to protect the low flow channel, and restrict excavation to above the prevailing water level (RL 19.2 metres). RPS have mostly buffered the site around existing vegetation.
The sustainable extraction volume based on accumulative cut volumes between RL 19.2 and 21 metres for Site B, as shown on drawing ‘118407-002B Extraction Area B – Aerial Mosaic & Depth Shading Above RL 15.0’, is 5848 cubic metres.
Site C The proposed site as shown in drawing ‘118407-003B Extraction Area C – Aerial Mosaic & Depth Shading Above RL 15.0’ is adjacent to the low flow channel, and includes areas of exposed prevailing water level from construction of a crossing through the Haughton River (by others). The exposed water area is depth shaded at RL 18.8, and top of bank of adjacent low flow channel around the RL 18.6 metre mark as shown in drawing ‘118407-003A Extraction Area C Cross Sections Sheet 1’.
This site is part of a long point bar within a reasonably straight section of the river, and is immediately downstream of a bed level crossing.
Extraction volume calculations provided are based on extraction above RL 15 metres. The total extraction volume proposed to RL 15 m is 59 655 cubic metres.
Excavation beneath the prevailing water level and low flow channel top of bank, immediately adjacent to the low flow channel, may impact the conveyance of water past the site, and detriment water quality. The applicant has not demonstrated water quality management or how flows will be maintained during operations.
Buffers have therefore been put in place to protect the low flow channel, and restrict excavation to above the prevailing water level (RL 19 metres). RPS have mostly buffered the site around existing vegetation.
The sustainable extraction volume based on accumulative cut volumes between RL 19 to 21 metres (highest point) for Site C, as shown on drawing ‘118407-003B Extraction Area C – Aerial Mosaic & Depth Shading Above RL 15.0’, is 7743 cubic metres.
Site D The proposed site as shown in drawings ‘118407-004C Extraction Area D – Aerial Mosaic’ and & ‘118407-004B Extraction Area D – Depth Shading Above RL 17.0m’ includes part of the low flow channel, and areas below the prevailing water level (as shown by areas used for construction of a crossing through the Haughton River by others).
Site D is part of the same point bar containing Site C, but upstream of the bed level crossing. There is significantly more sand available in Site D than Site C due to surface area available.
Extraction volume calculations provided are based on extraction from RL 17 metres. The total extraction volume above RL 17 m to highest point of RL 23m is 303 711 cubic metres.
The prevailing water level and low flow channel in August 2018 are depth shaded at approximately 2.2 to 2.4 above RL 17 (e.g. RL 19.2m). Analysis of cross sections provided for chainages 0 to 750 support this modelling (see drawings 118407-004C Extraction Area D Cross Sections sheets 1 – 6).
Excavations within the low flow channel are likely to impact the conveyance of water past the site, and detriment water quality – as is excavating below the prevailing water level immediately adjacent to the low flow channel. The applicant has not demonstrated water quality management or how flows will be maintained during operations.
Buffers have therefore been put in place to protect the low flow channel, and restrict excavation to above the prevailing water level (RL 19.2 metres).
The sustainable extraction volume based on accumulative cut volumes above RL 19.2 for Site D, as shown in drawings 118407-004C Extraction Area D – Aerial Mosaic’ and ‘118407-004C Extraction Area D – Depth Shading Above RL 17.0m’ is 129 840 cubic metres.
Site E The proposed site as shown in drawings ‘118407-005C Extraction Area E – Aerial Mosaic’ and & ‘118407-005C Extraction Area E – Depth Shading Above RL 20.0m’ is adjacent to the low flow channel, and partially includes an area within the low flow channel.
Site E is a historic quarry site (1980 – 1990’s) that readily replenished each wet season. It is on an inner bend point bar, and removing material from this site is likely to remove pressure of the opposite eroding bank.
Extraction volume calculations provided are based on extraction from RL 20 metres. The total extraction volume above RL 20 m to highest point of RL 26m is 194 417 cubic metres.
The prevailing water level and low flow channel top of bank in August 2018 are depth shaded at approximately 1.0 to 1.2 above RL 20 (e.g. RL 21 m). Analysis of cross sections provided for chainages 0 to 750 support this modelling (see drawings 118407-005B Extraction Area E Cross Sections sheets 1 – 4).
Excavations within the low flow channel are likely to impact the conveyance of water past the site, and detriment water quality – as is excavating below the prevailing water level immediately adjacent to the low flow channel. The applicant has not demonstrated water quality management or how flows will be maintained during operations.
Buffers have therefore been put in place to protect the low flow channel, and restrict excavation to above the prevailing water level (RL 21 metres).
The sustainable extraction volume based on accumulative cut volumes above RL 21 for Site E, as shown in drawings ‘118407-005C Extraction Area E – Aerial Mosaic’ and ‘118407-005C Extraction Area E – Depth Shading Above RL 20.0m’ is 123 493 cubic metres.
Site F The proposed site as shown in drawings ‘118407-006D Extraction Area F – Aerial Mosaic’ and & ‘118407-006D Extraction Area F – Depth Shading Above RL 20.0m’ is adjacent to the low flow channel and SunWater drop in channel (adjacent to lot 8 on SP123168). The site is upstream of a bend, is subject to previous Burdekin Shire Rivers Improvement Trust works to remove vegetation and improve flow capacity through this site. The bed level is subject to rising in this area, and the operations are likely to improve the ability of the watercourse to function during flow events.
Extraction volume calculations provided are based on extraction from RL 20 metres. The total extraction volume above RL 20 m to highest point of RL 26m is 186 902 cubic metres.
The prevailing water level and low flow channel top of bank in August 2018 are depth shaded at approximately 2.0 to 2.2 above RL 20 (e.g. RL 22 m). Analysis of cross sections provided for chainages 0 to 650 support this modelling (see drawings 118407-006B Extraction Area F Cross Sections sheets 1 – 4).
Excavations below the prevailing water level may impact SunWater distribution operations, and may impact the low flow channel where excavation is immediately adjacent. The applicant has not demonstrated water quality management or how flows will be maintained during operations. Buffers have therefore been put in place to protect the low flow channel, and restrict excavation to above the prevailing water level (RL 22 metres).
The sustainable extraction volume based on accumulative cut volumes above RL 22 for Site F, as shown in drawings ‘118407-006D Extraction Area E – Aerial Mosaic’ and ‘118407-006D Extraction Area F – Depth Shading Above RL 20.0m’ is 64 901 cubic metres.
Site G Site G is within the upstream and downstream limits already determined for Sites A-F. The proposed site as shown in drawing ‘118407-007 Extraction Area G – Depth Shading Above RL 13.0m’ and ‘118407-007 Extraction Area G – Aerial Mosaic’ is adjacent to the low flow channel, and partially includes an area within the low flow channel. The site is on a slight outer bend, and has significant sand deposition, likely due to the narrowing and vegetated immediate downstream reach.
Extraction volume calculations provided are based on extraction from RL 13.0metres, with the highest point of sand at approximately 18 metres. The total extraction volume proposed above RL 13 m is 159,579 cubic metres.
The prevailing water level and low flow channel top of bank in August 2018 are depth shaded at approximately 1.0 to 1.5m above RL 13 (e.g. RL 14 m). Analysis of cross sections provided for chainages 0 to 900 support this modelling (see drawings 118407-007 Extraction Area E Cross Sections sheets 1 – 3).
The sustainable extraction volume based on accumulative cut volumes above RL 14 for Site G, as shown in drawings 118407-007 Extraction Area G – Depth Shading Above RL 13.0m’ and ‘118407- 007 Extraction Area G – Aerial Mosaic’ is 158,011 cubic metres
Summarised extraction volumes The findings above, and recommended accumulated volumes, are consistent with the findings of Kinhill and Dalla Pozza.
To ensure any allocation granted is sustainable under the Water Act 2000 purpose and assessment criteria, extraction has been limited to above dry season prevailing water level, and suitably distanced from the low flow channel to ensure any flow will not avulse into the excavation area. Furthermore, as the Haughton River in this location is part of the SunWater distribution network, it is important to ensure flows are conveyed past the site. In consideration of the prevailing water level and low flow channel buffer, extraction volumes have been recommended as per Table 3.

Findings on material questions of fact There is sufficient information on the existing stream condition, geomorphology and the sustainable yield of the watercourse to part grant the application for a total of 500,000 m³ at a rate of 100 000 m³/y for a period of 60 months.
Reasons for decision Removal of the allocation authorised by this permit will not have a significant impact on the long term sustainable use of the watercourse including: the physical integrity of the watercourse including bed and bank stability; the condition of the watercourse including its ability to function naturally; the supply of sediments to estuaries and the sea; the quarry material available in the watercourse and any existing quarry material allocations for the watercourse. If you are dissatisfied, you may apply for a review of the decision. This application must be in accordance with sections 851, 861 to 864, 877 and 878 of the Water Act 2000. Copies of these sections of the Act are enclosed. The application form must be supported by enough information to enable the reviewer to decide the application. An application for an internal review must be received at this office within 30 business days from the date you receive this notice.
Other persons may be entitled to apply for an internal review to the chief executive against the decision. It is the licensee’s responsibility to enquire as to whether any person has applied for an internal review to the chief executive against the issue of the licence.
Information to support compliance monitoring of this allocation may be requested at any time during the allocation period by an Authorised Officer under the Water Act 2000. This information must be supplied to the department within the specified time frame.
Please note that this Decision Notice does not negate the requirement to obtain any other approvals, or to enter into other statutory arrangements. In particular the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003 places a duty of care on anyone undertaking an activity to protect Aboriginal Cultural Heritage. You must obtain a Development Permit under the Planning Act 2016 before commencing removal of the quarry material.

1.6 Environmental Commitments
BTS recognises and understands the impact the facility has on the natural environment and is committed to minimising that impact. BTS Environmental Commitment is outlined below: “Burdekin Transport Services will conduct its operations in compliance with regulatory requirements and environmental licences and seek to minimise its impacts on the environment. This will be accomplished by assessing potential environmental risks for all activities and operations at operating and project sites and putting into place practical steps to minimise the risk of harm to the air, land and aquatic environments. A key strategy will be ensuring that all employees and contractors coming into operating or project sites are made aware of their environmental responsibilities and the steps that must be taken to avoid environmental harm. Staff will monitor and regularly review the implementation of sound environmental practices in conjunction with current work procedures to ensure that environment management becomes an integrated part of the quality service and health and safety measures in daily operations”.
PR118407-1 | Haughton River | Site Based Management Plan (SBMP) | V4.0 | 7 November 2018 rpsgroup.com Page 4 REPORT 2 SITE DESCRIPTION
The screening and extraction area are located in the bed of the Haughton River; adjacent to Lot 64 onCP868133, adjacent to Lot 63 on CP868133, adjacent to Lot 13 on SP113329, adjacent to Lot 9 on GS564,adjacent to Lot 7 on SP117628, adjacent to Lot 102 on SP105230, adjacent to Lot 8 on SP123168, adjacent to Lot 95 on SP143120, adjacent to Lot 93 on RP904076, adjacent to Lot 94 on RP898159, adjacent to Lot 96 on SP143120, adjacent to Lot 58 on EP145, adjacent to Lot 6 EP1555, adjacent to Lot 7 on EP1491, adjacent to Lot 13 on SP113329, adjacent to Lot 58 on EP145 and adjacent to Lot 6 on EP1555 (Appendix A). The proposed extraction site is located approximately 19 km south-east of the Giru and accessed via Coach Road. Sensitive receptors of the extraction and screening operation are limited to two residential dwellings, which are located approximately 1 km to the north-east (Lot 63 on CB868133) and south-east (Lot 76 on CP867389). The extraction area within the Haughton River is fringed by riparian vegetation, where some native vegetation is also present in sections of the bed, predominantly associated with the low flow channel. The low flow channel of the Haughton River in the context of the extraction area, is located directly adjacent to the eastern bank. Remnant woodland vegetation is mapped to the east of the Haughton River associated with Major Creek mountain and in areas to the east. The majority of the surrounding catchment is being used for sugar cane production. A small borrow pit is located approximately 1 km to the west and associated with the toe slope of Major Creek mountain.
2.1 Regional Drainage Features
The Haughton Drainage Basin is situated between Townsville and Ayr covering an area of approximately 1,850 km2. The Haughton catchment arises in the range’s west and south of Townsville, draining to the coast near the town of Giru. The primary tributaries of the Haughton River include Reid River and Major Creek. Major Creek originates from the western side of Mount Elliot range and runs westerly before joining the Haughton River. The upper Haughton River drains savanna grazing country and is predominantly a dry sandy bed stream. The Reid River drains the ranges immediately west of Townsville through a series of rock gorges, which create significant pool habitats in the upper reaches. In the lower catchment, several creeks run directly into the Haughton catchment from the high rainfall, rainforest-covered Mount Elliot massif (Burrows and Perna 2005). Land use in the upper Haughton catchment is almost entirely cattle grazing, where land clearing has been minimal. The lower catchment is dominated by sugar cane and regulated by two weirs, Giru weir and Val Bird weir. The primary land uses in the Haughton River catchment are grazing (85%), sugarcane farming (13%) and horticulture (5%) (GBRMPA 2001).

3.1.1 Quarry Allocation
In accordance with the quarry material allocation notices 10000086 (Appendix A), the total allocation is 500,000 m3, with a maximum extraction rate of 100,000 m3 in any 12-month period or part thereof. The breakdown of the allocations is detailed in Table 4. Extracted volumes will vary from day to day depending on demand. The front-end loader contains scales, where all material extracted from the site is weighed. Each tip truck and loader have a docket book to record all material removed from the site. The dockets are collected weekly at the company office, to ensure an accurate record of the weight of extracted material. This weight is converted to volume for reporting purposes using the bulk density of the material extracted. The volume of material extracted is reported to the Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy (DNRME) on a monthly basis. Table 4: Total Allocation

3.1.2 Method of Extraction
Plant equipment required for the operation consists of an excavator, front-end loaders, mobile screening plant, tip trucks and bulldozers on occasion as required. Operation at the extraction site includes: Extraction of sand material; Screening of sand; Loading of raw material into trucks for transport off site; and Limited stockpiling of material on site. Material will be extracted as required and according to the properties of the material. Material will be screened and separated into stockpiles of different grades. Operations will be predominantly undertaken during the dry season, with operations continuing in the wet season dependant on river conditions. During
PR118407-1 | Haughton River | Site Based Management Plan (SBMP) | V4.0 | 7 November 2018 rpsgroup.com Page 6 REPORT suitable conditions, such as the dry season, the river has irrigation flow only, which is restricted to the low flow channel. Extraction will commence at the centre of the riverbed within the allocation areas and gradually develop further into the allocation area. Generally, the site will be developed by stripping and stockpiling down to the maximum depth stated in Table 5. The excavator will then excavate down to the maximum depth, where the won material will be stockpiled to dry before being screened and graded into the different products. The site will be re-established to the appropriate level. The extraction area is located in the bed of the Haughton River, which is inundated at times during minor or major flooding. The site is managed in such a manner as to prevent deposits of silt that will spoil the resource. Instances of “silting” can occur if natural flows are prevented by inappropriate bunding. Areas will be excavated in parallel to the stream flow to prevent silting. The bed material at the level of operations is sand and gravel and this material will move under the action of floodwater. It is floodwater that will determine the final shape of the bed profiles. Banks will not be affected as they will be protected by the buffer strips. No fuel of hazardous materials will be stored on the site. Machinery will be fuelled outside of the riverbed from a 1,000 L mobile fuel tank.

4.8 Emergency Response
This section provides an overview of response requirements for emergencies that could potentially occur at the site. Table 8 outlines the necessary contact details of the relevant person/agency in the event of an incident or emergency.
4.8.1 Spill Response
If a spill threatens the safety or health of people, creates a fire hazard or has the potential to cause or causes serious environmental harm then the site emergency procedure shall be followed.
4.8.1.1 Chemical Spills
Where a chemical spill occurs, consult the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for spill procedures. If the MSDS indicates a requirement for containment and clean up, then the following steps should also be considered: 1. Stop the source and spread of the spill if safe to do so: – Check for danger; – Prevent the spill from getting larger (turn off valves, block damaged tanks or pipes), and – Use any suitable material or equipment to confine the spill by “damming it off” (e.g. use available spill response equipment such as booms or absorbent or if unavailable then use soil or other suitable material). 2. Clean up the spill:
PR118407-1 | Haughton River | Site Based Management Plan (SBMP) | V4.0 | 7 November 2018 rpsgroup.com Page 14 REPORT
– Once the spill has been contained, retrieve as much of the spilled liquid as possible and place in an appropriate container (e.g. 20 L drum or 1000 L pod). The liquid should then be disposed of; – Absorb remaining spill with absorbent material and place used absorbent in the appropriate waste bin; and – Where applicable, replenish equipment used from Spill Response Kit. 3. Report the spill: – Report and investigate all spills in accordance with Incident Reporting and Analysis (see below).
4.8.1.2 Spill Kits
Site vehicles will contain spill kits and/or spill clean-up equipment at each site for use in the event of a spill. Equipment contained in spill response kits shall be replenished upon use, equal to the specified list contained within the kit. The Site Supervisor / HSEQ Coordinator will ensure that Spill Response Kits are inspected regularly, and missing items replenished when necessary.
4.8.1.3 Treatment of Contaminated Soils
The preferred options for treatment of contaminated soils (hydrocarbons) are: On-site treatment of the soil so that the associated hazard is reduced to an acceptable level; and/or Off-site treatment of excavated soil so that the contaminant is destroyed, or the associated hazard is reduced to an acceptable level. Should it not be possible to implement either of the above options, alternative options will need to be considered, evaluated and implemented? Strategies can reduce the concentrations of contaminants to acceptable levels without necessarily excavating all affected soil and disposing of it off-site at a landfill. Soil that is contaminated by hazardous substances including hydrocarbons shall be treated according to the following: For small volumes of contaminated soil (<1.0 m3), soil must be collected and disposed of in a regulated waste bin (a soil disposal permit from DES shall be obtained prior to removal from the site); For large volumes of contaminated soil (>1.0 m3), an Environmental Consultant shall be contacted to determine whether the contamination is best treated in-situ or excavated for appropriate disposal; and Temporary storage or treatment of contaminated soils shall only occur in a specially designated location. In addition, a remediation strategy should be developed for those incidents where existing investigation has demonstrated there is an unacceptable impact to surface and groundwater resources, current land use, and/or ecological function or where off-site impacts are occurring or likely to occur.
4.8.1.4 Treatment of Contaminated Water
Water that may have been contaminated by a spill shall be contained and tested for contamination as directed by the Environmental Consultant. Where water is found to be contaminated it shall be removed by a licensed regulated waste transporter. If the water is not contaminated it shall be released to grade on site.
4.8.2 Flooding
4.8.2.1 Stormwater Management
If heavy rainfall or flooding is forecast for the area, the Site Supervisor shall prepare the site by: Relocating any mobile plant or equipment to higher ground; and Removing potential contaminants from site or ensuring that potential contaminants are protected from rainfall or stormwater flows. Normal site practice involves removing the 1000 L mobile fuel tank from the river bed following the refuelling of equipment.

4.9 Fire Management
4.9.1 Potential Fire Sources
Fire scenarios on the site are likely to arise from: Combustion of grasses in the vicinity of the site; and Refuelling accidents, machinery failure or vandalism.
4.9.2 Fire Risk Minimisation
To minimise these risks the following measures have been adopted for the site: Fire extinguishers provided on all trucks and equipment; and Following refuelling safety procedures.
4.9.3 Fire Response
In the event of a small fire at the site, a portable fire extinguisher shall be used to attempt to extinguish the fire. Fire extinguishers (4.5 kg powder fire extinguisher) shall be carried on all equipment at all times. If the initial response to a fire is unsuccessful or if there are any doubts as to the capability of the onsite fire- fighting resources, the Queensland Fire and Rescue Service shall be contacted immediately.

Where the Site Supervisor / HSEQ Coordinator become aware of a site or operational condition that does not comply, a Corrective Action Report (CAR) form is to be completed and actioned. An example CAR form is provided in Appendix F of this SBMP. A CAR for any non-compliance is to be actioned within 24 hours of receiving confirmation of the non-compliance. In some instances, further investigation or monitoring may be required to establish whether the SBMP has been adequately implemented, or whether the work is compliant with relevant legislation, guidelines and statutes. In these instances, an independent party, such as an Environmental Auditor, will carry out the investigation or monitoring. The notification of any emergency or incident which results in the release of contaminants not in accordance with conditions of the relevant approval, must include, but should not be limited to the following information: The name of the holder of the approval; The location of the emergency or incident; The number of the relevant approval; The name and telephone number of the designated contact person; The time of the release; The time the Site Supervisor became aware of the release; The suspected cause of the release; The environmental harm caused, threatened, or suspected to be caused by the release; and Actions taken to prevent any further release and mitigate any environmental harm caused by the release.
7.2 Audits & Review
An audit check list is provided in Appendix G to assist with assessing site operations against the requirements of the SBMP and identify opportunities for improvement. The SBMP audit shall be undertaken at any time (minimal six monthly) by the Site Supervisor / HSEQ Coordinator. Following each audit, the SBMP shall be reviewed and updated where necessary. The facility will also be subject to an independent audit annually.
7.3 Annual Return
Annual return reporting shall be prepared by the Site Supervisor / HSEQ Coordinator and submitted to DES. The annual return report shall include: Results of environmental monitoring; Any non-compliances with the DES Permits; and Annual throughput tonnages.

Decision Notice
Application for an allocation of quarry material: Quarry Material Allocation Notice QMA10000184
This decision notice is given in accordance with section 230(3) of the Water Act 2000 in respect of the decision to grant an application for a new quarry material allocation notice.
Decision The Department of Natural Resources and Mines delegates officers to exercise the power of the chief executive to make decisions about applications for an allocation of quarry material.
As a delegated officer of this department, on 1 April 2019 I have decided to grant with conditions the above application, for an amended volume.
Background Matters Pursuant to section 227 of the Water Act 2000, a person may apply for an allocation of quarry material. Burdekin Transport Pty Ltd applied for an allocation of 500 000 cubic metres of quarry material in the Haughton River, at an extraction rate of 100 000 cubic metres per year, for a period of 5 years. The application for Site A-F was received on the 4 January 2018 (receipt # 2387450) at the department’s Townsville office. Site G application was received 26 November 2018. Further information for the original application demonstrating sufficient material was available was requested on 24 May 2018, and received on 24 August 2018. Information demonstrating material available for Site G was received 22 March 2019.
The Haughton Basin is comprised of a small number of short near coastal catchments located between Townsville and Ayr. The headwaters rise in the Mt Elliot, Hervey and Leichhardt Ranges and flow in a northerly direction towards Giru where it discharges into Bowling Green Bay. The Haughton River is the primary catchment with its main tributaries the Reid River and Major Creek. There are a small number of independent catchments of which only Barratta Creek is significant. The Haughton Basin has a total catchment area of approximately 4,051 km2. The Haughton River is the only watercourse within the Haughton Basin with current riverine quarry material extraction operations.
The Department of Natural Resources and Mines is aware of two relevant sediment studies for the proposal area: Kinhill Cameron and McNamara, 1993, Townsville Thuringowa Sand and Gravel Strategy Study. BC2403, DPI – Water Resources, City of Thurngowa, and the Department of Transport, Townsville. (Kinhill) Dalla Pozza, Ramona, 2005, A Holocene sand budget for the Seasonally Wet Tropics region of north Queensland. PhD thesis, James Cook University. (Dalla Pozza)
445 Flinders Street PO Box 5318 MC Townsville Queensland 4810 Telephone: + (07) 4447 9139 Email: [email protected]. Both reports confirm extensive deposits between GS 119033A and the tidal limit, with: Kinhill identifying: o > 2 000 000 m3 inactive material in 1993 between the Bruce Highway (AMTD 21 km) and approx. Major Creek (~AMTD 35 km); and, o An average material transport rate (AMTR) of 60,000m³/y (i.e. active material).1 Dalla Pozza finding of an annual deposition of: o up to 25 000 m2/y between GS 119033 (AMTD 32.5 km) and the Bruce Highway (AMTD 21 km) [Reach 2]; and, o up to 33 000 m2/y between the Bruce Highway and the tidal limit (AMTD 15.5 km) [Reach 1].
These findings are affirmed by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority’s 2013 Haughton basin assessment: Burdekin dry tropics natural resource management region2, which identifies concern that coarser sands (e.g. quarry material) has been building up in this reach of the river, and that the material is not being transported to the coast due to the weir and lowered velocities in the lower part of the system.
GHD’s 2003 Giru Flood Study3 (commissioned by the Burdekin Shire Rivers Improvement Trust) confirmed that the identified reach exhibits a high level of sediment deposition and vegetation growth, which exacerbates deposition by reducing flow velocities.
Department records show that from 1999 to August 2018, a total of 669 351 cubic metres has been extracted from the Haughton River, with an average extraction rate of 35 229 cubic metres per year (Table 1). The Haughton River sub-catchment area is currently over allocated in terms of the AMTR but under-utilised (Table 2).
There has been no material extracted from the proposed area since 2001. The proposed extraction area includes a current QMAN issued for the site for 7 500m3 (QMAN 300301). There is no development approval associated with QMAN 300301, and therefore no material may be extracted.
Kinhill and Dalla Pozza’s studies indicate that the 2 000 000 m3 inactive deposit will have steadily increased based on average material transport rates, with deposition exceeding quarry material extraction. Based on accumulated deposit, AMTR and historic extraction operations, the proposed extraction rate and volume is theoretically sustainable.

The application is for a one-off allocation of inactive material deposited between -19°38'16.90597'', 147°6'26.50048'' and -19°42'14.95598'', 147°4'4.34137'' (within/adjacent to Reach 2), and therefore not limited to average annual recharge rates.
Inactive material is usually the result of infrequent major flood events depositing significant quantities of material in low velocity areas, such as inner bends or low bed gradient reaches. Inactive material is unlikely to be further transported in low to moderate, or more frequent, flow events. Active material is readily transported in frequent flow events and is the basis of average material transport rates.
The Haughton River channel in the proposed allocation area is part of the SunWater distribution network. The Haughton River is predominantly ephemeral, with flow generally restricted to the wet season, and therefore usually dry April – November. Photogrammetry was undertaken by RPS in August 2018, with wet season flows ending March 2018. No unsupplemented flow during August 2018 was detected at surface water gauging station 119003A Haughton River at Powerline (19°37'59.3"S, 147°06'37.0"E) or 119005A Haughton River at Mount Piccaninny (upstream of site at 19°46'30.4"S, 146°57'33.8"E). Therefore the aerial imagery and photogrammetry are taken to indicate average dry season flows.
Site A The proposed site as shown in drawing ‘118407-001B Extraction Area A – Depth Shading Above RL 10.0m’ and ‘118407-001B Extraction Area A – Aerial Mosaic’ is outside the low flow channel, and above the prevailing water level as indicated by the low flow channel ‘top of bank’ in drawings 118407-001B Extraction Area A Cross Sections Sheets 1 - 3 being lower than RL 10.0 m. The site is on a slight outer bend, and has significant sand deposition, likely due to the narrowing and highly vegetated immediate downstream reach.
Extraction volume calculations provided are based on extraction from RL 10 metres, with the highest point of sand at approximately 16 metres. The total extraction volume proposed above RL 10 m is 94 994 cubic metres.
Site A also contains a 7500 cubic metre allocation (QMAN 300301), however there is no associated development approval for this QMAN/site. This allocation is based on active sediment transport, and there is sufficient in situ material to support both the proposed and existing allocation.
As RPS have buffered the proposed site from vegetation, the low flow channel, and toe of bank, the sustainable extraction volume based on accumulative cut volumes is 94 994 cubic metres.
Site B The proposed site as shown in drawing ‘118407-002B Extraction Area B – Aerial Mosaic & Depth Shading Above RL 15.0’ includes the low flow channel. Extraction volume calculations provided are based on extraction from RL 15 metres.
The total extraction volume proposed from RL 15 m to RL 21 metres (highest point) is 116 291 cubic metres. The prevailing water level and low flow channel in August 2018 are depth shaded at approximately 4.0 to 4.2 above RL 15 m. Analysis of cross sections provided for chainages 0 to 350 support this modelling (see drawings 118407-002B Extraction Area B Cross Sections sheets 1 – 3).
The site is on a slight inner bend and part of a point deposit. Sand accumulation in this site is likely due to the narrowing and highly vegetated immediate downstream reach.
Excavations within the low flow channel are likely to impact the conveyance of water past the site, and detriment water quality. The applicant has not demonstrated water quality management or how flows will be maintained during operations.
Buffers have therefore been put in place to protect the low flow channel, and restrict excavation to above the prevailing water level (RL 19.2 metres). RPS have mostly buffered the site around existing vegetation.
The sustainable extraction volume based on accumulative cut volumes between RL 19.2 and 21 metres for Site B, as shown on drawing ‘118407-002B Extraction Area B – Aerial Mosaic & Depth Shading Above RL 15.0’, is 5848 cubic metres.
Site C The proposed site as shown in drawing ‘118407-003B Extraction Area C – Aerial Mosaic & Depth Shading Above RL 15.0’ is adjacent to the low flow channel, and includes areas of exposed prevailing water level from construction of a crossing through the Haughton River (by others). The exposed water area is depth shaded at RL 18.8, and top of bank of adjacent low flow channel around the RL 18.6 metre mark as shown in drawing ‘118407-003A Extraction Area C Cross Sections Sheet 1’.
This site is part of a long point bar within a reasonably straight section of the river, and is immediately downstream of a bed level crossing.
Extraction volume calculations provided are based on extraction above RL 15 metres. The total extraction volume proposed to RL 15 m is 59 655 cubic metres.
Excavation beneath the prevailing water level and low flow channel top of bank, immediately adjacent to the low flow channel, may impact the conveyance of water past the site, and detriment water quality. The applicant has not demonstrated water quality management or how flows will be maintained during operations.
Buffers have therefore been put in place to protect the low flow channel, and restrict excavation to above the prevailing water level (RL 19 metres). RPS have mostly buffered the site around existing vegetation.
The sustainable extraction volume based on accumulative cut volumes between RL 19 to 21 metres (highest point) for Site C, as shown on drawing ‘118407-003B Extraction Area C – Aerial Mosaic & Depth Shading Above RL 15.0’, is 7743 cubic metres.
Site D The proposed site as shown in drawings ‘118407-004C Extraction Area D – Aerial Mosaic’ and & ‘118407-004B Extraction Area D – Depth Shading Above RL 17.0m’ includes part of the low flow channel, and areas below the prevailing water level (as shown by areas used for construction of a crossing through the Haughton River by others).
Site D is part of the same point bar containing Site C, but upstream of the bed level crossing. There is significantly more sand available in Site D than Site C due to surface area available.
Extraction volume calculations provided are based on extraction from RL 17 metres. The total extraction volume above RL 17 m to highest point of RL 23m is 303 711 cubic metres.
The prevailing water level and low flow channel in August 2018 are depth shaded at approximately 2.2 to 2.4 above RL 17 (e.g. RL 19.2m). Analysis of cross sections provided for chainages 0 to 750 support this modelling (see drawings 118407-004C Extraction Area D Cross Sections sheets 1 – 6).
Excavations within the low flow channel are likely to impact the conveyance of water past the site, and detriment water quality – as is excavating below the prevailing water level immediately adjacent to the low flow channel. The applicant has not demonstrated water quality management or how flows will be maintained during operations.
Buffers have therefore been put in place to protect the low flow channel, and restrict excavation to above the prevailing water level (RL 19.2 metres).
The sustainable extraction volume based on accumulative cut volumes above RL 19.2 for Site D, as shown in drawings 118407-004C Extraction Area D – Aerial Mosaic’ and ‘118407-004C Extraction Area D – Depth Shading Above RL 17.0m’ is 129 840 cubic metres.
Site E The proposed site as shown in drawings ‘118407-005C Extraction Area E – Aerial Mosaic’ and & ‘118407-005C Extraction Area E – Depth Shading Above RL 20.0m’ is adjacent to the low flow channel, and partially includes an area within the low flow channel.
Site E is a historic quarry site (1980 – 1990’s) that readily replenished each wet season. It is on an inner bend point bar, and removing material from this site is likely to remove pressure of the opposite eroding bank.
Extraction volume calculations provided are based on extraction from RL 20 metres. The total extraction volume above RL 20 m to highest point of RL 26m is 194 417 cubic metres.
The prevailing water level and low flow channel top of bank in August 2018 are depth shaded at approximately 1.0 to 1.2 above RL 20 (e.g. RL 21 m). Analysis of cross sections provided for chainages 0 to 750 support this modelling (see drawings 118407-005B Extraction Area E Cross Sections sheets 1 – 4).
Excavations within the low flow channel are likely to impact the conveyance of water past the site, and detriment water quality – as is excavating below the prevailing water level immediately adjacent to the low flow channel. The applicant has not demonstrated water quality management or how flows will be maintained during operations.
Buffers have therefore been put in place to protect the low flow channel, and restrict excavation to above the prevailing water level (RL 21 metres).
The sustainable extraction volume based on accumulative cut volumes above RL 21 for Site E, as shown in drawings ‘118407-005C Extraction Area E – Aerial Mosaic’ and ‘118407-005C Extraction Area E – Depth Shading Above RL 20.0m’ is 123 493 cubic metres.
Site F The proposed site as shown in drawings ‘118407-006D Extraction Area F – Aerial Mosaic’ and & ‘118407-006D Extraction Area F – Depth Shading Above RL 20.0m’ is adjacent to the low flow channel and SunWater drop in channel (adjacent to lot 8 on SP123168). The site is upstream of a bend, is subject to previous Burdekin Shire Rivers Improvement Trust works to remove vegetation and improve flow capacity through this site. The bed level is subject to rising in this area, and the operations are likely to improve the ability of the watercourse to function during flow events.
Extraction volume calculations provided are based on extraction from RL 20 metres. The total extraction volume above RL 20 m to highest point of RL 26m is 186 902 cubic metres.
The prevailing water level and low flow channel top of bank in August 2018 are depth shaded at approximately 2.0 to 2.2 above RL 20 (e.g. RL 22 m). Analysis of cross sections provided for chainages 0 to 650 support this modelling (see drawings 118407-006B Extraction Area F Cross Sections sheets 1 – 4).
Excavations below the prevailing water level may impact SunWater distribution operations, and may impact the low flow channel where excavation is immediately adjacent. The applicant has not demonstrated water quality management or how flows will be maintained during operations. Buffers have therefore been put in place to protect the low flow channel, and restrict excavation to above the prevailing water level (RL 22 metres).
The sustainable extraction volume based on accumulative cut volumes above RL 22 for Site F, as shown in drawings ‘118407-006D Extraction Area E – Aerial Mosaic’ and ‘118407-006D Extraction Area F – Depth Shading Above RL 20.0m’ is 64 901 cubic metres.
Site G Site G is within the upstream and downstream limits already determined for Sites A-F. The proposed site as shown in drawing ‘118407-007 Extraction Area G – Depth Shading Above RL 13.0m’ and ‘118407-007 Extraction Area G – Aerial Mosaic’ is adjacent to the low flow channel, and partially includes an area within the low flow channel. The site is on a slight outer bend, and has significant sand deposition, likely due to the narrowing and vegetated immediate downstream reach.
Extraction volume calculations provided are based on extraction from RL 13.0metres, with the highest point of sand at approximately 18 metres. The total extraction volume proposed above RL 13 m is 159,579 cubic metres.
The prevailing water level and low flow channel top of bank in August 2018 are depth shaded at approximately 1.0 to 1.5m above RL 13 (e.g. RL 14 m). Analysis of cross sections provided for chainages 0 to 900 support this modelling (see drawings 118407-007 Extraction Area E Cross Sections sheets 1 – 3).
The sustainable extraction volume based on accumulative cut volumes above RL 14 for Site G, as shown in drawings 118407-007 Extraction Area G – Depth Shading Above RL 13.0m’ and ‘118407- 007 Extraction Area G – Aerial Mosaic’ is 158,011 cubic metres
Summarised extraction volumes The findings above, and recommended accumulated volumes, are consistent with the findings of Kinhill and Dalla Pozza.
To ensure any allocation granted is sustainable under the Water Act 2000 purpose and assessment criteria, extraction has been limited to above dry season prevailing water level, and suitably distanced from the low flow channel to ensure any flow will not avulse into the excavation area. Furthermore, as the Haughton River in this location is part of the SunWater distribution network, it is important to ensure flows are conveyed past the site. In consideration of the prevailing water level and low flow channel buffer, extraction volumes have been recommended as per Table 3.

Findings on material questions of fact There is sufficient information on the existing stream condition, geomorphology and the sustainable yield of the watercourse to part grant the application for a total of 500,000 m³ at a rate of 100 000 m³/y for a period of 60 months.
Reasons for decision Removal of the allocation authorised by this permit will not have a significant impact on the long term sustainable use of the watercourse including: the physical integrity of the watercourse including bed and bank stability; the condition of the watercourse including its ability to function naturally; the supply of sediments to estuaries and the sea; the quarry material available in the watercourse and any existing quarry material allocations for the watercourse. If you are dissatisfied, you may apply for a review of the decision. This application must be in accordance with sections 851, 861 to 864, 877 and 878 of the Water Act 2000. Copies of these sections of the Act are enclosed. The application form must be supported by enough information to enable the reviewer to decide the application. An application for an internal review must be received at this office within 30 business days from the date you receive this notice.
Other persons may be entitled to apply for an internal review to the chief executive against the decision. It is the licensee’s responsibility to enquire as to whether any person has applied for an internal review to the chief executive against the issue of the licence.
Information to support compliance monitoring of this allocation may be requested at any time during the allocation period by an Authorised Officer under the Water Act 2000. This information must be supplied to the department within the specified time frame.
Please note that this Decision Notice does not negate the requirement to obtain any other approvals, or to enter into other statutory arrangements. In particular the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003 places a duty of care on anyone undertaking an activity to protect Aboriginal Cultural Heritage. You must obtain a Development Permit under the Planning Act 2016 before commencing removal of the quarry material.

Flanagan Consulting Group (FCG) has been commissioned by Burdekin Transport Services (BTS) to provide a Transport Impact Assessment (TIA) report. This TIA has been prepared in response to SARA’s comments provided as part of a development application for Development Permit for a Material Change of Use Extractive Industry (Removal of Quarry Material from Watercourse); and Development Permit for a Material Change of Use Environmentally Relevant Activity (Screening and dredging) for a proposed river quarry development (described as sand body adjacent to Lot 64 on CP868133 and Lot 13 SP113329 with stockpiling located within Coach Road Reserve adjacent to 1004 Upper Haughton Road, Upper Haughton). This report determines the traffic impact from the proposed quarry development to the external road network, including the intersection of Bruce Highway/Upper Haughton Road as outlined in Figure 1. Drawings of the proposed development have been provided and attached in Appendix A.
SARA comments are also attached in Appendix B. 2.0 RESPONSE TO SARA RFI

March 2019 6386/R- RCL127 Page 4 of 22 3.0 SCOPE AND STUDY AREA 3.1 Scope
The objective of this report is to understand the traffic and transport issues associated with the proposed development of a river bed sand quarry development. The report will address SARA’s comments on the Material Change of Use Development Application.
Based on our understanding of the site and BTS requirements, FCG has been engaged to undertake the following tasks to complete this assessment:
· Review the existing road network to understand the current road connection and conditions.
· Estimate the traffic generation of the quarry site, based on the proposed land uses and activities
· Assessment of the impact of additional trips generated from the development on the local road network
· Analysis of the impact of the development on the road network for the year open and the design horizon

March 2019 6386/R- RCL127 Page 7 of 22 5.0 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
The proposed development consists of two aggregate quarry sites located alongside the Haughton River. BTS is seeking approval on the following aspects of development:
· Development Permit for a Material Change of Use Extractive Industry (Removal of Quarry Material from Watercourse); and
· Development Permit for a Material Change of Use Environmentally Relevant Activity (Screening and dredging)
The proposed works includes:
· BTS propose to dredge and screen sand resources from the Haughton River. The dredging and screening operations will be operated under the Quarry Material Allocation Notice issued by the Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy; The proposal seeks to remove a maximum of 100,000 m³ per year;
· Notwithstanding the above maximum limit, a maximum of 800 tonnes /day extraction will be adhered to
· Haulage vehicles will be up to 63.5tonne (approx. 40 tonne payload) truck for transport of extracted materials
· Developer will adhere to a maximum 10 hour working periods per day
· The quarry is proposed to operate in a single shift from 6am to 4pm, six days per week
· The proposed development will employ a local workforce, residing primarily in the nearby townships
· The quarry will not be staffed during the day, with exception of excavator and truck operators
· The proposed quarry is expected to become fully operational in the year 2020 with a allocation permit for up to 5 years (subject to renewals)
· Extraction site location are shown in Figure 1;
A maximum of 2 trips/hr for each direction has been applied based on the above inputs
The proposed allocation and stockpiling area will be accessed by Coach Road via an existing track. Coach Road is currently unformed and will be constructed from select materials found on site to allow for safe access and egress from the site (refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4). Specifically, the construction of the access route will take advantage of the existing cleared dirt track and the materials for the road base will be sourced from the extraction site where appropriate. The road base will consist of larger sized gravel mixed with finer sands to form a stable pavement for vehicle use. Details of the Coach Road road base can be presented in the Detailed Design Stage as the project moves forward. In addition, vehicles to and from the site will vary as the majority of customers will pick up the material directly from the site limiting the
March 2019 6386/R- RCL127 Page 8 of 22 foreseeable impact of different vehicle sizes. The combinations of customer vehicles are likely to include: the following:
· 3 axle group truck – 3 axle dog & trailer
· 3 axle group truck – 4 axle dog & trailer
· 3 axle group semi-trailer
· 7 axle B-Double 19m
· 9 axle B-Double 25m
To mitigate the impact of these movements to the site, all vehicles will adhere to strict speed limits of 25km/hr to reduce noise and dust levels. Vehicle movements will be restricted to defined areas, reducing the impact of unnecessary movements throughout the site. The proposed haulage route will see vehicles travelling north-east along Upper Haughton Road to the Bruce Highway, then split either east or west depending on the orders location or south down Upper Haughton Road depending on delivery location.

Coach Road is currently a two-lane undivided road. It stretches across the Haughton River from the west then continues along the river to the north to join with Upper Haughton Road. It is an unsealed road with no posted speed sign. The portion of Coach Road that connects between the proposed quarry site access and Upper Haughton Road will be upgraded to allow haulage vehicles to use during quarry operation.

Both the Bruce Highway and Upper Haughton Road are designated heavy vehicle routes.
The Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) volumes at nearby locations along the Bruce Highway was sourced from the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR). Two separate traffic count stations (No. 91699 and No. 92216) on Road Section 10L were provided as they are the closest traffic count stations to the Bruce Highway/Upper Haughton Road intersection (refer to Figure 7).
Daily base traffic volumes and directions as provided by TMR is included in Appendix C.
FIGURE 7 - TRAFFIC COUNT STATION (SOURCE: DTMR)
The existing traffic volume at the Bruce Hwy/Upper Haughton Rd Intersection has been estimated using the data provided by TMR from both traffic count station sites (91699 and 92216). Site 91699 is located to the east of the intersection. Site 92216 is located to the west of the intersection.
Gazettal Direction is denoted as East to West (ie. Burdekin to Townsville).
March 2019 6386/R- RCL127 Page 13 of 22 Table 4 outlines the AADT volume of the two closest traffic count stations from the subject intersection.

The common peak hour period was identified as follow:
Ø Morning (AM) Peak : 9 am – 10am
Ø Afternoon (PM) Peak: 3 pm – 4 pm
6.1.1 At grade train Movement
At the western leg of the Upper Haughton Rd/Bruce Hwy intersection, there is a sugar cane railway line owned by Wilmar Sugar Mills. An at-grade level crossing exists at this intersection that is controlled by sign and signals. It is understood the cane train crossing is only operational during sugar cane harvesting season which is between April and August. A train schedule provided by Wilmar shows the peak period for rail movements identified for this section across the Bruce Highway. It is observed that during harvesting season, 4 trains may cross the western leg of this intersection during a peak 1 hour period.
The peak train schedule is attached in Appendix F. 6.2 Development Traffic Generation
The traffic profile generated by the proposed development is based on the destination of the potential quarry consumers.
6.2.1 Traffic generation – Light Vehicles
The quarry will have minimal on-site employees and will not allow general visitation, therefore light vehicle movements are assumed negligible for the purposes of this impact assessment.
6.2.2 Traffic generation – Heavy Vehicles
Advice provided by BTS suggests maximum extraction rates will be in the order of 800 tonnes per day. Extraction operation will be carried out over a 10 hour shift between 6am and 4pm, Monday to Saturday.
As quarry materials will be directly delivered to the construction site and stockpiled, there is no peak season for the operation. The quarry operation will only occur if the quarry operator receives an order and it could therefore be argued that the quarry operation is project dependent. The quarry operator has advised that a maximum 45ton semi-trailer or B-Double would be used for haulage of material, which equates to a payload of approximately 40 tons per truck. Therefore the maximum trips generated per day at this payload are 20 trips per day in one direction.
March 2019 6386/R- RCL127 Page 14 of 22 6.2.3 Development Traffic Distribution
The distribution of development traffic will be based upon the location of the potential destination of the extracted material. However, given Upper Haughton Road and Bruce Highway are the only routes that allow heavy vehicle use, it is conservatively assumed that 100% of heavy vehicle traffic generated by the quarry will occur along these two roads.
March 2019 6386/R- RCL127 Page 15 of 22 7.0 TRAFFIC OPERATION ASSESSMENT 7.1 Trip Generation
In order to analyse the impact of the development on the existing transport infrastructure, it is necessary to assess the number of trips generated to and from the site and where they are likely to travel. Whilst reference has been made to the Austroads Guides and RTA Guidelines, there are no specific traffic generation rates for quarry extraction. The potential development of traffic generation from the site has been reviewed based on information provided by the quarry operator.
· The quarry will be extracted for up to 800 tonnes per day if/when the quarry operator receives an order. · There will be no resident staff on site · A maximum 45 tonnes trailer or B-Double will be used for haulage.
Given the operation will only occur if the quarry operator receives an order and their maximum capacity for extraction is 800 tonnes per day, there is no peak season for the operation. 7.2 Traffic Growth Rate
Traffic growth applied to the background traffic volumes represents the increase in traffic associated with the surrounding area. For Bruce Highway Gazettal direction, a 1.14% growth rate is adopted based on traffic count station 91699 (2015, 10 yrs data) and for the anti-gazettal direction, a 0.57% growth rate has been applied to Bruce Highway based on traffic count station 92216 (2015, 10 yrs data).
These growth rates are applied following review of the growth between flows that have been analysed at the predicted 2019 opening year through to the 2029 (10-year design horizon). Although the current licence application is for a five-year duration, this 10 year horizon has been analysed in accordance with TMR’s Guide to Traffic Impact Assessments (2018). It will also allow for if an extension to the licence is applied for. 7.3 Grade level crossing
At sugar harvesting season, a sugar cane train operated by Wilmar Sugar Mills will run across the western leg of the Upper Haughton Road / Bruce Highway. According to the train schedule provided by Wilmar and peak hour identified for this section of Bruce Highway, during sugar cane harvesting season there will be up to 4 at-grade level crossing trips by the train. Each train crossing will take 4 mins. During the train crossing, the existing train crossing signals located around the intersection will be all red and vehicles in the intersection are required to stop for an extended duration in all directions until the passing of the sugar cane train.
In other words, during the harvesting season at AM and PM peak periods, the intersection will be signal controlled with 15 mins cycle consisting of up to 4 minute delays to allow for sugar cane train passing. 7.4 Assessed Intersection
The Bruce Highway / Upper Haughton Road intersection has been assessed to determine the operational performance. Figure 8 and Figure 9 illustrate the location for the SIDRA assessed intersection.
March 2019 6386/R- RCL127 Page 16 of 22 FIGURE 8 - SIDRA ASSESSMENT LOCATION
FIGURE 9 - BRUCE HWY/UPPER HAUGHTON RD INTERSECTION
7.4.1 Assessment Scenarios
Depending on the location of the quarry order, a haul vehicle from the quarry operation may turn west or east from the intersection and enter the Bruce Highway. Therefore the assessment has incorporated both scenarios and modelled for the year of opening through to the 10 year design horizon.
March 2019 6386/R- RCL127 Page 17 of 22 The following scenarios have been assessed for the proposed development:
· 2019 Background traffic (Year of Opening) · 2019 Background traffic and Development traffic to Bruce Highway (East) (Year of Opening) · 2019 Background traffic and Development traffic to Bruce Highway (West) (Year of Opening) · 2029 Background traffic (10 year Design Horizon) · 2029 Background traffic and Development traffic to Bruce Highway (East) (10 year Design Horizon) · 2029 Background traffic and Development traffic to Bruce Highway (West) (10 year Design Horizon) The background, future traffic and development traffic scenario volumes have been included in Appendix D. Detailed SIDRA analysis outputs are provided in Appendix E. 7.4.2 SIDRA Assessment Criteria
The performance of the intersection was analysed using SIDRA Intersection 8 (SIDRA) based on input parameters, including geometry and traffic volumes, and to provides an estimate of the intersection’s Degree of Saturation (DOS), queues and delays. Simplistically, DOS is a measure of the proportion of traffic entering an intersection relative to the intersection’s capacity. Table 5 provides the defined DOS intervention thresholds for intersections.
TABLE 5 - ADOPTED INTERSECTION PERFORMANCE THRESHOLD - DEGREE OF SATURATION
Intersection Control DOS Threshold
Signals Less than or equal to 0.90
Priority controlled Less than or equal to 0.80
Importantly it is noted that DOS is not the only performance indicator and that other measures such as critical delay should also be considered when assessing the performance of an intersection. Other authorities such as the NSW Roads and Maritimes Services (RMS) recommend the use of the critical movement delay for assessing the performance of priority-controlled intersections. The RMS Guide to Traffic Generating Developments states that the average delay statistics for the critical movement provides a better indication of intersection performance and safety for priority-controlled intersections and roundabouts than DOS. Table 6 provides the RMS-defined delay thresholds. Level of service is a qualitative measure describing operational conditions within a traffic stream, and their perception by motorists and/or passengers. A key issue is determining the level of service that is deemed acceptable, and whether that level should be a projected level for future operations of a facility, or the level existing at the current operation of the facility.
March 2019 6386/R- RCL127 Page 18 of 22 TABLE 6 ADOPTED INTERSECTION PERFORMANCE THRESHOLD - CRITICAL DELAY
LOS Level of Services Description Critical Delay
A Good Operation Less than 14 sec
B Acceptable delays and spare capacity 15 to 28 sec
C Satisfactory, but accident study required 29 to 42 sec
D Near capacity and accident study required 43 to 56 sec
E At capacity, requires or control mode 57 to 70 sec
7.4.3 Operational Assessment Results 7.4.3.1 Bruce Highway/Upper Haughton Road
The current configuration of this intersection is a four-way priority-controlled intersection with rail signal arrangement. The aerial and SIDRA assessed layout are illustrated in Figure 10.
FIGURE 10 - CURRENT AND SIDRA ASSESSED LAYOUT - BRUCE HIGHWAY/UPPER HAUGHTON ROAD INTERSECTION
The SIDRA model incorporates the sugar harvesting season train schedule provided by Invicta Sugar Mill. The train schedule shows that during harvesting season, the train will cross Bruce Highway once in every 15 mins during the AM and PM Peak hours. A two-phase signal control is modelled in the SIDRA with the 900secs traffic signal cycle for the train crossing. The train schedule is attached in Appendix F. Signal phasing and SIDRA output is attached in Appendix E.

2029 with Development (East) 0.217 40.9s 292.0m 0.294 44.5s 426.2m
The results in Table 7 indicate the intersection operates within the typical performance thresholds (DOS ≤ 0.9 for signals) for all scenarios. It is noted that with the inclusion of the development, the critical delay and 95th percentile queue is not significantly adversely impacted when compared to the background traffic scenarios. As such, there is no requirement to provide mitigation measures for this intersection. 7.4.3.2 Road Section Analysis
The traffic generation and distribution from the site has been assessed and the impacts of the proposed development on the State Controlled road network, namely Bruce Highway/Upper Haughton Road intersection, has been reviewed.
TMR’s Guide to Traffic Impact Assessment (2018) Section 3.4 states that TMR it is unreasonable to require quantification of the impacts on intersections and road links unless the development creates an increase in traffic exceeding 5% of base traffic movements.
The AADT for the Bruce Highway has been obtained from TMR and indicates a traffic flow of 2612 and 3741 vehicles per day in the gazettal (from counting site 91699, year 2015) and anti-gazettal (from counting site 92216, year 2015) directions respectively. These two traffic count sites are the closest traffic count station from the Bruce Highway/Upper Haughton Rd intersection.
The proposed quarry development only generates an additional 40 trips per day (both directions) to the road network. This traffic impact is below 5% of existing levels, therefore the impact on the State Controlled road network is considered insignificant, and detailed analysis is considered unnecessary.
7.4.3.3 Road Safety
An assessment of the existing road condition has been undertaken via desktop study to determine if suitable improvements can be implemented to improve safety for all road users at this intersection.
It should be noted that under current guidelines for rural roads it is the driver’s responsibility to drive according to the road conditions and maintain due care and attention at all times.
The approaches to the intersection are straight roads free of obstruction from vegetation.
March 2019 6386/R- RCL127 Page 20 of 22 From crash history records, the majority of crashes are related to collision of vehicles in the same direction and off path on straight road. The direct cause of these accidents is not entirely known however may been a result of the cross road rail at the intersection and lack of concentration on the approach, with limited time to bring the approaching vehicle to a stop when signals are flashing.
Given the negligible increase in movements at this intersection resulting from the proposed quarry development (2 vehicles in each traffic direction along Bruce Highway at peak hour) it is not proposed to apply increased safety measures and additional traffic control given the no-worsening effect.
7.4.3.4 Rail crossing
The haul vehicles need to travel either to the east or west along Bruce Highway. Vehicles travelling in the Gazettal direction (west) from the intersection will be required to cross the existing level crossing. However, considering the number of trips generated by the development (2 trips in peak hour at each traffic direction and 40 trips per day in both directions) at the Bruce Highway, this presents a negligible increase to the overall traffic at this intersection, and therefore it’s impact at the rail crossing is inconsequential.
Owing to the fact the rail crossing is already controlled by signals and signage, further detailed analysis is considered unnecessary.
March 2019 6386/R- RCL127 Page 21 of 22 8.0 CONCLUSION
This report has assessed the impact of traffic generated by the proposed development on the existing transport network, intersection and level crossing. Consideration has been given to operational performance and road safety.
An assessment was carried out of the trips likely to be generated by the proposed development and estimated distribution of trips on the existing intersection. The impact of the proposed development on the road network has been analysed using procedures set out in Austroads and SIDRA Traffic modelling software. Results of the analysis indicate the road network continues to operate with capacity and the impact of development traffic on the operational performance of the external road network and level crossing is insignificant.
In conclusion, the proposed quarry development will not provide a significant adverse impact on the operational performance and safety of the surrounding road network and level crossing.

SARA Info Request:
1. Haul Route Plan A plan of the developments proposed haul route (including intersection with the state-controlled road) for heavy vehicles associated with the development is required.
2. Traffic Impact Assessment – State-controlled Roads The proposed development will have an impact on the Bruce Highway including the intersection of the Upper Haughton Road and Bruce Highway. Limited information has been provided to allow a complete assessment of the proposed developments impact on the state-controlled network. The applicant is to prepare and submit a Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) in accordance with the Department of Transport and Main Roads (DTMR), Guide to Traffic Impact Assessment (GTIA), certified by a Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland (RPEQ); to demonstrate that the development will not result in a worsening of safety, infrastructure condition or operating performance (that is, efficiency) of the state-controlled road network. The TIA is to provide information about and address the following, as a minimum: a) the expected increase in traffic generated and distribution of traffic to the surrounding network including light and heavy vehicle movements and types. b) identify the upper limit of volumes (tonnages) of material expected to be the extraction anticipated within the life of the proposed extractive industry. c) a description of the existing operational conditions of the road network and assessment of the impact of the development on current or projected operational characteristics of state controlled roads including safety, intersection delays, turning movements and transport infrastructure. d) an analysis of the operation and impact of the proposed development on the Upper Haughton Road / Bruce Highway intersection including: heavy vehicles turning right off the Bruce Highway entering Upper Haughton Road. potential safety and queuing problems associated with the railway level crossing at this intersection. e) mitigation measures to ensure no adverse impact on the safety and efficiency of the State controlled road network. f) Where traffic associated with the development, equals or exceeds 5% of the background traffic in terms of standard axle repetitions (SAR) or the thresholds identified in the GTIA, a Pavement Impact Assessment (PIA) will also be required in accordance with the GTIA.
3. Railway Level Crossing Safety Railway level crossings could be adversely impacted on by traffic generated by the development. The applicant is to provide an RPEQ certified traffic assessment and information to demonstrate how the proposed development will achieve compliance with PO7 to PO9 of State code 6: Protection of state transport networks.

Daily Volume Report (Date Range) Peak Hours Displays volume data at Stream level or combinations The time displayed for the AM and PM peak traffic flow is for the of Streams, averaged across a date range. previous hour. For example: AM 08:30 1227 Indicates the Content includes: morning peak of 1227 vehicles was between 7:30am and 8:30am. - Volume data at Stream level, for every hour of the day in time intervals of 15, 30 or 60 minutes - AM and PM peaks - Hourly percentages of the total daily flow - Total 12 hour, 16 hour and 18 hour flow - The report can be run for specific Stream and/or Traffic Classes
Important Information The figures in this report are an Average Daily Traffic (ADT) for the date range chosen and not an Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT).
Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) is the number of vehicles passing a point on a road in a 24 hour period, averaged over a calendar year.
Average Daily Traffic (ADT) Is determined by summing the total traffic flow, at Stream level, for the days within a date range, divided by the number of days collected. Missing days or incomplete days are excluded from the calculation.
Area For administration purposes the Department of Transport and Main Roads has divided Queensland into 12 Districts. The Area field in TSDM reports displays the District Name and Number. District Name District Central West District 401 Darling Downs District 402 Far North District 403 Fitzroy District 404 Mackay/Whitsunday District 405 Metropolitian District 406 North Coast District 407 North West District 409 Northern District 408 South Coast District 410 South West District 411 Wide Bay/Burnett District 412
Calendar Events Is an event that has a temporary effect on the traffic volumes at one or more sites in the Region. For example: - Public holidays - Local shows - Natural disasters - Long term road closures
Averages derived for such days will generally be different from the usual averages.
Date Range The period for which the report was run.
Days in Range Are the number of days in the selected date range.
Days Included Are the number of days within the selected date range that have data for every time interval. Days with missing data will be excluded from the calculations of this report.
Hour End and Flow The time indicates the end of the previous hour with the number of vehicles for that hour.
Gazettal Direction The Gazettal Direction is the direction of the traffic flow. It can be easily recognised by referring to the name of the road eg. Road Section: 10A Brisbane - Gympie denotes that the gazettal direction is from Brisbane to Gympie. G Traffic flowing in Gazettal Direction A Traffic flowing against Gazettal Direction B The combined traffic flow in both Directions
No Data Found Indicates that there is no data for the date range requested or the data for each day is incomplete. A report will only be produced for the days within the data range that have a complete data set.

For example: AM 08:30 1227 Indicates the Content includes: morning peak of 1227 vehicles was between 7:30am and 8:30am. - Volume data at Stream level, for every hour of the day in time intervals of 15, 30 or 60 minutes - AM and PM peaks - Hourly percentages of the total daily flow - Total 12 hour, 16 hour and 18 hour flow - The report can be run for specific Stream and/or Traffic Classes
Important Information The figures in this report are an Average Daily Traffic (ADT) for the date range chosen and not an Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT).
Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) is the number of vehicles passing a point on a road in a 24 hour period, averaged over a calendar year.
Average Daily Traffic (ADT) Is determined by summing the total traffic flow, at Stream level, for the days within a date range, divided by the number of days collected. Missing days or incomplete days are excluded from the calculation.
Area For administration purposes the Department of Transport and Main Roads has divided Queensland into 12 Districts. The Area field in TSDM reports displays the District Name and Number. District Name District Central West District 401 Darling Downs District 402 Far North District 403 Fitzroy District 404 Mackay/Whitsunday District 405 Metropolitian District 406 North Coast District 407 North West District 409 Northern District 408 South Coast District 410 South West District 411 Wide Bay/Burnett District 412
Calendar Events Is an event that has a temporary effect on the traffic volumes at one or more sites in the Region. For example: - Public holidays - Local shows - Natural disasters - Long term road closures
Averages derived for such days will generally be different from the usual averages.
Date Range The period for which the report was run.
Days in Range Are the number of days in the selected date range.
Days Included Are the number of days within the selected date range that have data for every time interval. Days with missing data will be excluded from the calculations of this report.
Hour End and Flow The time indicates the end of the previous hour with the number of vehicles for that hour.
Gazettal Direction The Gazettal Direction is the direction of the traffic flow. It can be easily recognised by referring to the name of the road eg. Road Section: 10A Brisbane - Gympie denotes that the gazettal direction is from Brisbane to Gympie. G Traffic flowing in Gazettal Direction A Traffic flowing against Gazettal Direction B The combined traffic flow in both Directions
No Data Found Indicates that there is no data for the date range requested or the data for each day is incomplete. A report will only be produced for the days within the data range that have a complete data set.

Throught traffic perpendicular to Bruce Highway are mainly for farmlands hence majority of these road are not paved. Therefore the traffic volume will be minor. So it is assumed throught traffic from Upper Haughton Road to Hodel Rd be 10% of the through traffic of Bruce Highway.
Traffic volume at Bruce Highway / Upper Haughton Road For Gazettal Direction Number of house between Traffic count site 91699 and the intersection: 6 nos. Number of intersection between traffic count site 91699 and the intersection: 5 nos. Volume of traffic generate from residential dwellings: 27 veh Volume of through traffic from intersection = traffic volume generated from dwelling (5 dwellings) + additional traffic from each int.(5 no.) = 2295 veh Traffic turning rates at the intersection is assumed same as the estimated truning movement in section xx. Hodel Road and Upper Haughton Road are rural road that provide access to farmland in the Horsehoe Lagoon area. These roads are not busy truck road, therefore it is estimated the traffic volume between Hodel Rd and Upper Haughton Rd to be 10% of the Bruce Hwy through traffic at this intersection.
For Anti-Gazettal Direction Number of house between Traffic count site 92216 and the intersection: 15 nos. Number of intersection between traffic count site 91699 and the intersection: 4 nos. Volume of traffic generate from residential dwellings: 67.5 veh Volume of through traffic from intersection = traffic volume generated from dwelling (5 dwellings) + additional traffic from each int.(5 no.) = 3335 veh Traffic turning rates at the intersection is assumed same as the estimated truning movement in section xx. Hodel Road and Upper Haughton Road are rural road that provide access to farmland in the Horsehoe Lagoon area. These roads are not busy truck road, therefore it is estimated the traffic volume between Hodel Rd and Upper Haughton Rd to be 25% of the Bruce Hwy through traffic at this intersection.
Proportion of Light vehicle (LV) and Heavy vehicle (HV) at Gazettal direction at Bruce Hwy/Upper Haughton Rd Bruce Hwy/Upper Haughton Rd should be similar to Site 91699 Gazettal traffic volume characteristic From traffic count station 91699 in Traffic Year 2015 ratio of the LV :HV in Gazettal direction is 2214 : 398 ie 5.6 : 1
Proportion of Light vehicle (LV) and Heavy vehicle (HV) at Anti-Gazettal direction at Bruce Hwy/Upper Haughton Rd Estimate of the Anti-Gazettal traffic is based on Site 92216 therefore the traffic volume characteristic at Bruce Hwy/Upper Haughton Rd should be similar to Site 92216 Anti-Gazettal traffic volume characteristic From traffic count station 92216 in Traffic Year 2015, ratio of LV:HV in Anti-Gazettal direction is 3210 : 530 ie 6.1 : 1 Notes

The development rates proposed by the developer is 800 tonne/day with 45ton truck (loading capacity approximately 40 ton) Traffic generate per day = 800/40*2 = 40 trip per day (20 trip per direction) Operation hour will be 10 hours per day Development traffic in 1 hour = 20 / 10 = 2 trips per direction / hr As the heavy vehicle travel direction will be either toward Bruce Hwy East or West
Scenario 1 - if developing traffic is mainly travel to Bruce Hwy West (2019 background + development)
