How is HES under the Queensland Coastal Plan different to HES protected under Sustainable Planning Act regional plans?
The methodology used to identify areas of ecological significance for application under the Queensland Coastal Plan is consistent with the methodology and mapping product used for identifying biodiversity values in regional plans prepared under the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 (SPA). However, some of the policy requirements may differ. As per the provisions of SPA, for those regions with approved SPA regional plans, the regional plan policies prevail over the policies of the Queensland Coastal Plan to the extent of any inconsistency.
