2.0 ESTUARINE HABITAT MANAGEMENT Brisbane Water consists of a number of important natural estuarine habitat types (refer to Table 1 and Figures 3 to 7 at the rear of this section). These habitats are not only significant to the maintenance of viable estuarine flora and fauna communities but also contributes significantly towards the aesthetic character of the waterway and its foreshores. Such estuarine habitats need to be well managed and preserved so that they continue to maintain water quality and biological diversity within Brisbane Water. 2.1 Management Objectives MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES Estuarine Habitat Management Objectives PRIORITY FOR ACTION RESPONSIBILITY a There shall be no net loss of area or change in type or significant change in condition of Estuarine Habitat and wetland areas in Brisbane Water. O All authorities b Ecologically sustainable uses of Estuarine Habitat areas are preferable to non-sustainable uses. O All authorities c Waterway and land-use planning shall recognise Estuarine Habitat areas as environmentally sensitive lands requiring protection. O All authorities d Proposals that can destroy or adversely affect Estuarine Habitat areas by changing their type, condition or ability to perform their functions, shall be subject to a full environmental review. Such proposals must include the construction of compensatory wetlands to offset any loss of natural wetland areas. O Council, NSW Fisheries, NPWS, Waterways Authority, LAWC (CLS) e Rehabilitation of degraded Estuarine Habitat areas shall be given priority in catchment management activities and funding programs. O All authorities f Ensure that full and proper consultation occurs with NSW Fisheries, National Parks and Wildlife Service, Department of Land and Water Conservation and other estuarine management authorities, in the assessment of development proposals that are likely to have an adverse impact on important estuarine habitats. O All authorities g Ensure that adequate buffer zones are provided between estuarine habitats and adjacent development. O Council h Ensure that the water quality and circulation of Brisbane Water is not adversely affected by providing controls for development and the promotion of management principles which reflect this aim. O All authorities I Facilitate and promote estuarine habitat rehabilitation and restoration practices. O All authorities Brisbane Water Plan of Management - July 1995 Page 8
2.2 Management Guidelines MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES Estuarine Habitat Management Guidelines PRIORITY FOR ACTION RESPONSIBILITY a The Council strongly supports community participation in the decision making process as it affects proposals for the development and use of land and water below mean high water mark in Brisbane Water and around its immediate foreshores. This is partly to ensure that decisions can adequately reflect community concerns as they relate to the protection of important estuarine habitats within Brisbane Water. In this regard, Council supports close liaison with the State's fisheries and estuarine management authorities to ensure that as knowledge of estuarine habitat management principles increases, this knowledge can be accounted for in Council's controls affecting the planning of Brisbane Water. In order to facilitate this aim, Council will: O Council i) Ensure that all development proposals are referred for comment to any government or management body that, in the opinion of Council, has a relevant interest in the management of estuarine habitats within Brisbane Water for example: Waterways Authority in regard to navigation matters and the NSW Fisheries in regard to the impact on fish habitat, commercial and recreational fishing and mariculture including oyster farming. These developments may be required to prepare a fauna and/or a Fishing Impact Statement. Any submissions received in respect of any applications lodged with Council will be considered by Council in making its decision. Council may include any requirements set by the abovementioned bodies as conditions of consents or approvals that may be issued. O Council ii) iii) Have regard to its existing controls, including any "standard conditions" that it may have or propose, which reflect community opinion and the objectives of this plan as they relate to the desired protection and preservation of important estuarine habitats within Brisbane Water. Not permit any development which has a detrimental effect on estuarine habitats where in Council's opinion, such development is inconsistent with the requirements of any estuarine management advice received from relevant government authorities in respect of such a matter.
