Tabled on 20 November 2013 by Hon Andrew Cripps MP, Minister for Natural Resources and Mines.
About The Bill
On 17 October 2013, Hon Andrew Cripps MP, Minister for Natural Resources and Mines, introduced the North Stradbroke Island Protection and Sustainability and Another Act Amendment Bill 2013.
The Bill was referred to the Agriculture, Resources and Environment Committee in accordance with Standing Order 131.
The committee examined the policies the Bill seeks to give effect to, the Bill’s lawfulness, and the application of fundamental legislative principles, as set out in section 4 of the Legislative Standards Act 1992.
The committee tabled its report to Parliament on 14 November 2013.
According to the Bill and Explanatory Notes, the Bill amends the North Stradbroke Island Protection and Sustainability Act 2011 to:
- enable Sibelco to seek a renewal of mining leases in 2019 at the Enterprise mine until 2035, thereby providing a realistic timeframe in which North Stradbroke Island (NSI) can transition to other industries such as nature based recreation, tourism and education
- remove the restricted mine path and non-winning condition over part of the Enterprise mine and consequently replace the environmental authority. This will reduce the harm done to Queensland’s reputation in relation to sovereign risk and leave environmental matters to the Environmental Protection Act 1994 (Qld) (EP Act) and
- provide for an opportunity to renew mining leases associated with Yarraman mine and Enterprise mine, until 2020 and 2040 respectively with a non-winning condition for the last 5 years. This will provide the necessary mechanism to allow for rehabilitation of the mine sites.
The Bill also amends the Vegetation Management Framework Amendment Act 2013 to remove the requirement for an applicant for vegetation clearing to provide a significant beneficial impact (SBI), for example revegetation of a watercourse or erosion control, and to demonstrate how the applicant will minimise and mitigate the effects of the proposed clearing.
