It provides direction and guidance about the management of coastal land in Queensland to achieve the objectives of the Coastal Act. Application The management policy applies to management planning, activities, decisions and works that are not assessable development under the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 and therefore not subject to the State Planning Policy for Coastal Protection (SPP). Area to which the policy applies The management policy applies to coastal land and its resources within the coastal zone. Coastal land includes land under tidal waters, erosion prone areas, land at risk from storm tide inundation or permanent inundation due to sea level rise (collectively called coastal hazard areas), coastal roads and esplanades, reserves and unallocated State land, and other parcels of land adjacent to the foreshore. Coastal resources are the natural and physical features, processes, places or objects of the coastal zone that have ecological, economic or social value. This includes areas of high ecological significance (HES). Maps that display coastal hazard areas and areas of HES can be found at Annex 1 of the SPP or in more detail at the Department of Environment and Heritage Protection (EHP) website The land at risk from storm tide inundation is the area below 1.5 metres highest astronomical tide (HAT) in the South East Queensland region or below two metres HAT elsewhere. Background Queensland s coast has significant natural resource and ecosystem service values that support the state s economic and social development. However, the high demand for use of coastal land by the community can result in coastal environments becoming degraded or used for purposes contrary to the objectives of the Coastal Act. Coastal environments constantly adapt to change as a result of dynamic natural processes, such as tides, waves, floods, storms and cyclones, and changes in sea level. Climate change impacts, such as increasing sea levels, increasing intensity of storms and cyclones, and changed rainfall patterns, will compound the vulnerability of Queensland s low-lying coastal areas to present day coastal hazards. Degraded environments can accelerate this rate of change and increase instability in coastal environments. Coastal landforms and habitat can be protected by retaining the land in a relatively natural state and free from permanent or non-expendable buildings or infrastructure. Active management of coastal land is required to: avoid loss or damage of vegetation and habitat ensure surface flow modifications do not occur or, where necessary, do not cause erosion or create land instability address adverse impacts caused by pest plants and animals avoid intensive recreational activities impacting on ecological values or natural coastal landforms control beach access, particularly by vehicles, to avoid erosion, protect ecological values, and ensure beach goers can enjoy the environment in safety. Queensland Coastal Plan 38 Implementation The management polices are primarily intended to be implemented by the managers of state and local government controlled coastal land and owners of private coastal land. However, the policies will also be of importance for others, such as community groups, research organisations, businesses and individuals involved in undertaking activities on coastal land. Authorities responsible for making statutory decisions about coastal land, and infrastructure organisations are to have regard to management policies in their decision-making processes. Examples of these processes include those made under the: Environmental Protection Act 1994 Forestry Act 1959 Land Act 1994 Local Government Act 2009 Marine Parks Act 2004 Nature Conservation Act 1992 (NCA) Recreation Areas Management Act 2006 State Development and Public Works Organisation Act 1971 Transport Infrastructure Act 1994 Vegetation Management Act 1999 Water Act Unallocated State land, esplanades and roads are administered under the Land Act. Unless declared to be state-controlled roads (for which the Department of Transport and Main Roads is responsible) roads and esplanades are generally managed by local government. The Department of National Parks, Recreation, Sport and Racing (NPRSR) directly manages protected areas, and the Department of Natural Resources and Mines manages unallocated State land. Coastal land is also managed by public and corporate bodies responsible for infrastructure, such as ports, airports and marinas or minor maritime facilities, such as public boat ramps and jetties. These areas are often held under lease, reserved for relevant infrastructure purposes or held as freehold land. Owners and occupiers of private land may undertake activities on their land provided they do so in accordance with relevant laws and policies. This includes a general environmental duty to not cause environmental harm as required by the Environmental Protection Act. Sections 3 and 4 of the management policy particularly apply to private land management activities on private land containing dunes and foreshores or areas of ecological significance. Most State coastal land has either been reserved for public purposes (including for coastal protection and management purposes) under the Land Act, been designated as a protected area under the NCA, is unallocated State land or is designated as esplanades or roads. Public purpose reserves are generally managed by trustees with most trustees being local government. Reserves must be managed for the purpose for which they have been reserved. 4 Queensland Coastal Plan9 Part 2 Overall policy outcomes Management of coastal land: protects, conserves and enhances coastal resources (the natural and cultural resources of the coastal zone) maintains natural physical coastal processes through appropriate design of works and structures or by setting them back from vulnerable areas ensures infrastructure and services facilitate managed public use of the coast without having significant adverse impacts on ecological values or physical coastal processes ensures that management actions on State or local government coastal land is consistent with the policy outcomes of the Queensland Coastal Plan encourages public participation in the management of public coastal land, collaborative actions, knowledge sharing, community awareness and the monitoring, review and reporting of the effectiveness of management. Queensland Coastal Plan 510 Part 3 Specific policy outcomes 1. Protecting coastal processes in erosion prone areas Principle Natural coastal processes including erosion and accretion are able to occur without interruption. Policies 1.1 Land stabilisation against wind and water erosion and foreshore and dune building processes are maintained by the protection, management and rehabilitation of native vegetation. 1.2 Natural fluctuations of the coast (erosion and accretion) are allowed to occur without interruption by establishing and maintaining coastal buffer zones free of buildings and structures except where they are temporary and removable and for recreation or safety purposes. 1.3 Longshore transport of sand is not disrupted by structures or dredging except where it does not significantly impact on coastal management or can be compensated for by sand bypassing or the addition of new sediment to balance the loss. 1.4 Sand volume in the dune and active beach systems which contribute to physical coastal processes is not reduced by works or structures, except where: a) there is no significant impact on coastal processes b) beach nourishment with sand from outside the active beach system is undertaken c) the works or structures are necessary for the protection of property. 1.5 Dune crest heights are maintained for the protection of adjacent property, buildings and infrastructure against storm tide and wave overwash processes. Notes The coast is subject to continual change as a result of natural forces associated with the combined actions of the sea and the weather. Coastal processes transport sediment resulting in ongoing erosion or accretion of land along the coast. This policy is to ensure coastal processes are maintained, including natural fluctuations and longshore sand movement which is critical to the maintenance of beaches and foreshore areas. Erosion prone areas are areas which are subject to coastal erosion or permanent inundation within a 50-year planning cycle. Ideally, coastal erosion should be managed by soft protection measures that involve the augmentation or relocation of natural coastal sediments. This includes beach nourishment, beach scraping and dune reprofiling. 6 Queensland Coastal Plan11 2. Buildings and structures in erosion prone areas Principle Structures (including all infrastructure) in erosion prone areas are designed, located and managed to ensure that impacts on coastal processes are avoided or minimised. Policies 2.1 The exposure of buildings and structures to coastal erosion impacts is minimised by any of the following: a) locating buildings and structures outside of the erosion prone area where feasible b) designing buildings and structures for relocation or removal c) locating buildings and structures as far landward as possible and in a manner that minimises the need for future erosion protection works. 2.2 Buildings and infrastructure in erosion prone areas are to be any of the following: a) consistent with the public purpose of the reserve where located on reserved State coastal land b) for coastal-dependent public access facilities c) temporary or relocatable d) for essential community infrastructure that cannot feasibly be located elsewhere e) for redevelopment of an existing approved building or structure that does not increase the intensity of the approved use or the site coverage of the existing building or structure. 2.3 Beach nourishment of foreshores or the removal or relocation of structures is the preferred solution where coastal erosion threatens beaches or structures. 2.4 Engineered erosion control structures are only considered for protection of permanent infrastructure where beach nourishment or landward retreat of the infrastructure is not a practical or cost effective option. The engineered erosion control structures are to be located as close as practicable to the development under threat in order to minimise the impact on coastal processes. 2.5 A shoreline erosion management plan is to be prepared if there is a potential threat to structures, beaches or infrastructure (or infrastructure that facilitates the use of structures or beaches) on State or local government coastal land. Queensland Coastal Plan 712 Notes Inappropriately located structures, facilities and activities can adversely impact on coastal processes and result in loss of amenity, on-going public costs and risks to public safety. The intent of this policy is to manage erosion prone areas to provide and maintain a buffer between permanent buildings and structures and the landward edge of the foreshore. Managing coastal land to allow natural fluctuations of the coast to occur without interruption or intervention will ensure that, in most cases, costly works are avoided and beaches are naturally maintained. Managing coastal processes with erosion control works such as seawalls, groynes and artificial reefs can adversely affect coastal processes by trapping or redirecting sediments. The consequence is usually the loss of sand from beaches, receding shorelines, loss of foreshore vegetation and increased coastal erosion adjacent to the area in which erosion control works are undertaken. Where dunal buffer zones are of insufficient width to protect permanent development from coastal erosion, re-establishment or widening of the dunal buffer zone can maintain the amenity of the coast and natural coastal processes. This is achieved through beach nourishment or removal or relocation of structures on the dunes rather than engineered coastal protection. In some circumstances, land within the erosion prone area (such as clay soils and marine muds) may not be compatible with dune and beach processes or it may comprise imported fill or contaminated material. In these circumstances engineered coastal protection works may be appropriate solutions. In areas which are under constant threat of erosion, a strategy of retreat from the erosion prone area is the preferred option. For existing development which has social and economic value, erosion control works should be initiated only as a last resort in an instance when erosion presents an immediate threat to public safety, property, and/or infrastructure that is not expendable. Where shoreline erosion is a potential threat to development, EHP s preferred method for managing this issue on State or local government coastal land is the preparation and implementation of a shoreline erosion management plan (SEMP). SEMPs are intended to investigate the causes of expected future impacts that erosion may cause. Notes Analysis of the social, environmental and economic aspects of the options then provides a robust and rigorous basis for decision making. The guideline Preparation of a Shoreline Erosion Management Plan (available at provides detailed guidance on how to develop a SEMP, as does Annex 5 of the SPP guideline. Appendix 1, item 1 of this policy lists priority areas where the preparation of a SEMP is considered necessary. SEMPs may form part of a broader management plan for coastal land. Structures and public infrastructure are essential to provide safe and equitable access to, and use of, coastal land. Suitable infrastructure for the purpose of this policy may include: structures such as picnic tables, barbeques, coastal trails and bikeways that either in isolation or as part of a group of associated structures are considered to be expendable when threatened by coastal erosion specially designed portable or demountable structures, such as surf life saving observation towers and equipment sheds lookouts, shelter sheds, elevated decks and pergolas that either in isolation or as part of a group of associated structures are considered to be non-permanent development demountable structures which are not founded on permanent concrete pads, do not require permanent services such as water, electricity or sewage and are capable of being easily and quickly removed when threatened by coastal erosion. Unsuitable infrastructure and activities include: permanent or non-expendable development rock, concrete or other fixed structures located on the foreshore of open beaches, unless such structures are required for beach retention buildings, car parks, roads, pipes, drains, excavation, golf courses, and other non-coastaldependent sporting or recreational facilities, power and telephone lines, extraction operations, sewage pump stations and similar structures clearing, thinning, or other damage to native vegetation except for establishing or maintaining limited recreation areas (note: fire-break clearing, mowing, and works for public safety are acceptable) any other types of works or structures which may lead to wind or water erosion. 8 Queensland Coastal Plan13 3. Dune management Principle Dunes are to be protected and dune vegetation is maintained and enhanced. Policies 3.1 The long-term stability of dune systems and the capacity of the dunes to rebuild after erosion is to be maintained through retaining and enhancing the extent, species composition and natural zonation of coastal dune vegetation. 3.4 For high-use recreational areas where vegetation retention is not practicable, physical management methods such as beach reprofiling are to be implemented to maintain an erosion buffer zone and the sand volume of the beach and dune. 3.2 Dune vegetation is to be protected from the adverse impacts of pedestrian trampling, vehicle use, stock grazing and invasion from pest plants and animals. 3.3 Public recreational uses and access infrastructure which cannot be located outside of the erosion-prone area is to be located in landward dunal areas which are isolated from present day coastal processes. Notes Human induced changes to dune configurations and the degradation of dune vegetation significantly limits their protective capacity, amplifies erosion problems, adversely impacts on neighbouring landforms and can result in the complete loss of foreshore areas. Recreational use and access infrastructure includes picnic facilities, walking and bike tracks, park areas and car parks. Where access over dunes to the beach is occurring, board and chain walkways, steps and advisory signs are required. Rehabilitation includes the restoration, repair or stabilisation of a degraded system. Management actions may include providing small habitat linkages to improve species survival and encourage recolonising the dunal system, and the management of pest plants and animals. Pests compete with native species for habitat, food, light and nutrients. Sometimes they out-compete the native species and reduce habitat quality, diversity and aesthetic and recreational value. Pest management plans or strategies should be developed identifying priority actions for preventing and controlling invasive pest species. Notes Management and rehabilitation efforts vary in cost, intensity, resource requirements, timeframes, and the suitability of techniques to particular sites and situations. Ongoing maintenance is required to ensure they are effective and it may be useful to develop ongoing maintenance checklists that note required approvals, insurance, standards, assessment criteria and notifications to be checked and, as needed, rectified each time the site is visited. Coastal Dune Management A series of Technical Notes and Other Resources (referenced in Appendix 3) provides technical guidance for undertaking maintenance and rehabilitation activities. Where community and voluntary groups are undertaking rehabilitation or maintenance activities on State coastal land, authority from EHP or the trustee, and appropriate insurance, is required under the Land Act. Queensland Coastal Plan 914 4. Management of areas of ecological significance Principle Protect areas of high ecological significance (HES) and conserve other ecological values. Policies 4.1 Areas of HES and other ecological values are to be protected, enhanced and rehabilitated to a natural state by: a) conserving, protecting and restoring natural ecosystems and habitats b) maintaining, enhancing or establishing habitat connectivity for species movement c) using endemic plants species when undertaking rehabilitation d) managing pest plants and animals e) restricting pedestrian and vehicle access to defined and managed paths and tracks f) designing and locating access, paths and tracks to avoid sensitive areas in particular, feeding, nesting or roosting sites of shorebirds, and nesting areas of turtles g) instigating temporary or seasonal closures to pedestrian and/or vehicle access to protect nesting or roosting species. 4.2 Active or intensive public activities are located, and buildings and structures are sited and designed, to avoid adverse impacts on HES areas and disturbing nesting or roosting species. 4.3 Where impacts from activities, structures and infrastructure cannot feasibly be avoided, management actions are to be taken to minimise impacts, and where possible, undertake rehabilitative actions to ensure there is no loss of the impacted values overall. Notes Areas of HES have a critical role in maintaining the biodiversity of coastal land and coastal resources. This policy seeks to protect areas of HES, those areas identified on maps, and additional areas identified by coastal land managers. Protection includes locating buildings, infrastructure and intensive public activities outside of identified areas. Pedestrian, tourist and marine activities are managed to avoid adverse effects on ecological values. Management actions may include seasonal and night closures of turtle nesting beaches, or seasonal closures at times when migratory birds are present or other species are nesting. Areas mapped as HES have been identified through a comprehensive assessment of biodiversity values. Other areas of HES cannot be easily mapped and include nesting sites, roosting areas and where threatened species are present in a very localised area. Additionally, our knowledge of the spatial extent of marine ecosystems, including sea grass areas, corals and rocky reefs and their conservation significance, is significantly less in comparison to terrestrial regional ecosystems and species habitats. Land managers are to refer to the EHP website for mapping of existing areas of ecological significance (AES) to be used as a broad tool, and also identify areas of HES and other areas of general ecological significance (GES) at a local scale. 10 Queensland Coastal Plan15 5. Indigenous cultural heritage Principle The living culture of Indigenous Traditional Owners and their connection with cultural resources on the coast and in marine areas is maintained and enhanced. Policies 5.1 Traditional Owners are to be encouraged to participate in planning for the management of the coast. 5.2 Management plans and programs are to facilitate access by the Traditional Owners to their coastal cultural resources and for undertaking cultural activities. Notes Indigenous Traditional Owners have been managing their cultural resources for tens of thousands of years as part of an ongoing practice of culture. The degree of Traditional Owner involvement in the management of coastal and marine areas varies and is often limited by past tenure decisions. Currently, Indigenous Traditional Owners have varying levels of involvement in the management of their ancestral homeland estate depending on land and sea ownership, access, and opportunity or financial and material capacity. Under the Community Services (Aborigines) Act 1984 and the Community Services (Torres Strait) Act 1984, the following statutory bodies have been established to manage land under deed of grant in trust: the Aboriginal Coordinating Council which assists and coordinates Aboriginal councils the Island Coordinating Council which assists and coordinates Island councils 15 Aboriginal council areas 16 (Torres Strait) Island council areas. Notes Aboriginal councils and Island councils undertake the management of land and are similar to local governments in a number of functions. Indigenous Traditional Owners also have involvement in the management of land including land over which native title rights and interests have been determined, the Indigenous Land Corporation hand-backs, and acquisitions by federal and state government programs. The participation of Traditional Owners in the preparation of management plans is essential to ensure Indigenous cultural heritage is appropriately protected and Traditional Owners are able to access their cultural resources. Incorporating Indigenous land management knowledge, where this can be provided by Traditional Owners, provides a significant and valuable contribution to the achievement of the objectives of the Coastal Act. Queensland Coastal Plan 1116 6. Public access and use of the coast Principle Public access and use of the coast is maintained and enhanced for current and future generations. Policies 6.1 Use of coastal land ensures public access to the coast is maintained or enhanced. 6.2 Exclusive private access to the foreshore and exclusive private use of beaches is to be avoided. 6.3 New public access facilities are only to be provided where: a) there is a demonstrated community demand; or b) there is a need to ensure public safety; and c) the location, design and maintenance provides and enhances equitable and safe public recreation and access opportunities. 6.4 Undeveloped esplanades and road reserves on the coast that contain significant coastal resources are not to be constructed unless this is required to provide access to private property that has no other legal access. 6.5 The undeveloped roads and esplanades listed in Appendix 1, item 2 are to be retained in a natural, undeveloped state and not formally developed for vehicular purposes unless otherwise stated in the item. 6.6 Tenure decisions for State coastal land do not result in the loss of public access to coastal land or the foreshore or public use of these areas except where: a) there is an overriding need in the public interest consistent with the factors set out in Appendix 4, or b) it is to either establish or support a public benefit asset. 6.7 Notwithstanding policy 6.6(a) or 6.6(b), tenure decisions are to ensure that the activity for which tenure is granted: a) achieves the policy outcomes of the Queensland Coastal Plan to the maximum extent practicable b) provides an environmental offset for any residual adverse impact on an area of high ecological significance that cannot be avoided as a result of undertaking the activity c) provides for the natural effect of physical coastal processes to continue outside the area subject to the activity. 6.8 Public access facilities and walkways to the foreshore are located, designed, constructed and managed to avoid erosion, minimise footprint and prevent adverse impacts on coastal resources. Notes The intent of this policy is to ensure there is to be no net loss of public access to the foreshore or of public use of State coastal land, the foreshore or coastal waters, while not compromising the protection of coastal resources. Some existing uses of State land, such as unapproved beach or fishing huts or jetties, have the potential to dictate future settlement patterns. These huts are generally inappropriately sited within areas vulnerable to coastal processes. This can lead to significant long-term costs to the community if settlements develop in these areas. The Land Act 1994 provides for the administration of permits to occupy relating to fishing huts and beach huts. This does not establish an ongoing use right. The establishment, management and maintenance of structures, such as public access walkways and recreational facilities, are the most appropriate management responses to avoid impacts on significant species and coastal habitats. This will ensure the long-term stability of dunes and other vulnerable coastal landforms, and prevent the introduction of non-native plants and animals. 12 Queensland Coastal Plan17 New public infrastructure should only be considered as a response to community demand (not a means to attract increased visitation to the reserve) or where public safety would be jeopardised if the infrastructure was not provided. This infrastructure should be located and designed so it does not trap or redirect natural sediment transport processes (e.g. wind and tidal transport of sand), result in degradation of natural values or occurs in areas of high ecological significance. Exclusion fencing and/ or the placement and design (or absence) of access infrastructure and designated walkways, boardwalks, signage and public amenities can all be used to manage public access and use. The preferred approach for existing infrastructure such as roads and tracks is for their continued management. However, where roads and tracks become impassable from erosion or storm damage and it is not feasible to reinstate their existing alignment, an alternative alignment should be determined by the relevant management authority that is consistent with the overall policy outcomes of the management policy. The coast is a dynamic environment and the natural conditions generally mean that structures and buildings experience much shorter operational lives than they would if located elsewhere. To ensure facilities and services continue to operate according to their design purpose, maintenance plans should be prepared, implemented and regularly reviewed. Additionally, inspections of structures and buildings should be undertaken immediately after major storm events or periods of high seas. Appendix 1, item 3 outlines priority areas for managing the adverse impacts from public access on coastal resources. Appendix 1, item 4 outlines priority areas for improved pedestrian access. Queensland Coastal Plan 1318 7. Buildings and structures on State coastal land Principle Buildings and structures (including all infrastructure) are established on State coastal land only where they are essential, provide a public service, and cannot be feasibly located elsewhere. Policies 7.1 Buildings and structures are only supported where a public need has been demonstrated and are required to support the orderly public use and enjoyment of the coastal environment. 7.2 Buildings and structures are to be located, designed, constructed and operated to complement the landscape characteristics of the natural environment, and in particular: a) not alter the amenity and character of the area b) be muted in colour c) incorporate sustainable and climate-sensitive design and operational features to achieve efficiency in the use of materials, energy, water and management of waste. Notes State coastal land should primarily maintain natural ecological values to the maximum extent possible. The overall objective in the management of State coastal land is to minimise the number and extent of intrusion of buildings and infrastructure. However, coastal areas particularly those adjacent or close to urban areas must also cater for extensive public use. In most cases, buildings and infrastructure will be required to manage public use so as to protect ecologically significant areas, prevent damage to coastal landforms, such as dunes, maintain amenity, facilitate public enjoyment and for public safety. However, in considering either new structures and infrastructure or the redevelopment of existing structures and infrastructure, the community need for the structures and infrastructure is to be demonstrated. Constructing facilities as a means of attracting additional public use to little-used areas is discouraged and should be avoided. 14 Queensland Coastal Plan19 8. Driving on beaches Principle Driving on beaches is not supported unless required for access and is actively managed to prevent significant impacts on ecological values and ensure a safe environment for other beach users. Policies 8.1 Driving on beaches is only supported on beaches where: a) no practical alternative access exists b) the nature of the beach makes driving practical and safe c) management actions are employed to ensure there are no significant safety risks to other users of the beach d) no significant adverse impacts on Indigenous Traditional Owner cultural resources will occur e) management actions are employed to ensure there are no significant adverse impacts on or to coastal ecosystems and species f) the responsible government body has prepared and implemented a beach driving management plan that addresses the requirements of this plan. 8.2 Vehicle use of beaches is not to cause a significant adverse impact on the ecology of the foreshore including foreshore plant and animal species, including nesting and roosting areas for sea turtles and migratory or other littoral bird species and management plans must include provisions for the closures of beaches to vehicles during periods critical to the life cycle of species, such as: a) within two hours of high tide b) at night (to the extent this is practicable) c) seasonally, to protect nesting and roosting areas for sea turtles and migratory and other littoral bird species. 8.3 Vehicle use on and adjacent to beaches listed in Appendix 1, item 5 is avoided, with the exception of access across the beach at approved boat ramps and access by vehicles for emergency or official purposes such as lifesaving activities, litter collection or wildlife management. 8.4 To the extent practicable, land managers are to manage vehicles to minimise impacts on coastal resources on and adjacent to beaches listed in Appendix 1, item 6. Queensland Coastal Plan 1520 Notes The preferred policy position is to discourage driving on beaches, but recognising it is sometimes necessary for access or has resulted from historical use. Research indicates that compaction of sand by vehicles is destructive for sand-dwelling invertebrates and may also disturb feeding or roosting shorebirds and nesting turtles. Where vehicles are used on beaches, they should be driven below the high water mark and avoid significant areas, such as turtle nesting areas and vegetated areas including grassed areas. Vehicles also should not be driven along debris or drift lines, as these often harbour wildlife. If vehicle access to, and along, beaches is assessed as essential, the relevant government or local government authority should prepare a management plan setting out the conditions under which beach driving may be permitted. This plan may form part of an overall plan for the relevant coastal strip or be a stand alone plan. In the preparation of a beach vehicle use management plan, the relevant authority should have a qualified and experienced ecologist prepare a report which identifies the relevant ecological and species values of the beach and provides recommendations for how adverse impacts on these values can be minimised. Notes Similarly, an assessment of how the beach is used by others will be necessary before a proposed plan can be prepared for consultation with Indigenous Traditional Owners, the public generally and specific user groups. Conditions often employed regarding beach driving include the use of a permit system, speed limits, closure during the period two or more hours each side of high tide, night closures, and seasonal closures during nesting periods for sea turtles and times when migratory bird species are present. Specific regulations or local laws, the use of signage and physical exclusion devices will often be required to ensure compliance with conditions for vehicle use of beaches. A regular compliance presence will also be necessary. Revenue raised through a permit system can be used to offset the costs of coastal protection and rehabilitation programs. Beaches are defined as roads under the Transport Operations (Road Use Management) Act 1995 and all road rules apply.
