coastal wetland ecosystem.
Note:  A coastal wetland ecosystem can be vegetated or unvegetated.
crediting period tidal inundation map, in relation to a tidal restoration project, means a map that:
 (a) identifies the projected spatial extent of land that will become impacted land for the project, as at the end of 32 years from a date which is not more than 24 months before the date of the section 22 application for the project; and
 (b) is prepared in accordance with the Supplement; and
 (c) is part of a hydrological assessment for the project.
cropping land means land that is used to grow crops.
drainage channels means brackish or freshwater drains or ditches created for the drainage of land for agricultural purposes, such as growing sugarcane.
drainage infrastructure means a drain, channel or ditch on any land that serves as a passageway for water moving from one area of land to another area of land.
Note: A drainage infrastructure that is used, removed, modified, installed or constructed for a tidal restoration project must be taken into account in the preparation or revision of a map forming part of a hydrological assessment for the project.
ecosystem transition means a change in a land type that occurs due to changes in the hydrology of the landscape, including because of sea level rise.
Note:  Examples of ecosystem transition include grassland transitioning to saltmarsh, mangrove or saltflats; supratidal forest transitioning to mangroves or saltmarsh.
eligible land—see section 9.
eligible project activities—see subsection 7(2).
environmental coastal wetland planting means seeding or planting of plants or propagules that consist of:
 (a) species that are:
 (i) native to the local area of the seeding or planting; and
 (ii) sourced from the natural resource management region or regions of the project area for a tidal restoration project in which the seeding or planting occurs; and
 (b) a mix of species that reflects the structure and composition of the local native community for the type of coastal wetland ecosystem being established by the project.
excavation activities means the excavation or disturbance of soil.
existing drainage infrastructure means drainage infrastructure that has been installed or constructed on any land before the baseline period for the land has ended.
existing infrastructure means an object, device or structure on any land that:
 (a) is not a drainage infrastructure; and
 (b) has been installed or constructed during the baseline period for the land; and
 (c) impedes, reduces, restricts or prevents inundation of other land by tidal flows, when used for that purpose.
fertiliser means any synthetic or non-synthetic substance that supplies key chemical elements to plants and soils to enhance plant growth and the fertility of soils.
flooded agricultural land, managed wet meadow or
