sec.11 Ecological outcomes
Particular ecological outcomes for water in the part of the plan area stated for the outcome are as follows— for Coomera River within the area known as Canungra Land Warfare Centre, including, in particular, Back Creek, and other waters of high ecological value under the Environmental Protection (Water and Wetland Biodiversity) Policy 2019 , including, in particular, Tallebudgerra Creek and Currumbin Creek—to minimise changes to the flow regimes of the waters; for Nerang River upstream of the Hinze Dam and Little Nerang Creek upstream of the Little Nerang Dam— to minimise changes to river-forming processes; and to minimise changes to the flow regime; for Coomera River estuary— to minimise changes, as far as practicable, to freshwater flows into the Coomera River estuary; and to minimise changes to the freshwater inflows to Coombabah Lake. Also, an ecological outcome for water in the plan area is to minimise changes, as far as practicable, to the volume and seasonality of freshwater flows into Moreton Bay and the Broadwater. s 11 amd 2019 SL No. 155 s 232 (sec.11-ssec.1) Particular ecological outcomes for water in the part of the plan area stated for the outcome are as follows— for Coomera River within the area known as Canungra Land Warfare Centre, including, in particular, Back Creek, and other waters of high ecological value under the Environmental Protection (Water and Wetland Biodiversity) Policy 2019 , including, in particular, Tallebudgerra Creek and Currumbin Creek—to minimise changes to the flow regimes of the waters; for Nerang River upstream of the Hinze Dam and Little Nerang Creek upstream of the Little Nerang Dam— to minimise changes to river-forming processes; and to minimise changes to the flow regime; for Coomera River estuary— to minimise changes, as far as practicable, to freshwater flows into the Coomera River estuary; and to minimise changes to the freshwater inflows to Coombabah Lake. (sec.11-ssec.2) Also, an ecological outcome for water in the plan area is to minimise changes, as far as practicable, to the volume and seasonality of freshwater flows into Moreton Bay and the Broadwater.
