Tracks Existing access and fence line tracks must be used wherever possible. The holder of the environmental authority must consult with the landowner prior to establishing any new tracks within the 500 metre buffer zone of Category B Environmentally Sensitive Areas of EPC1139. Any new tracks are to be constructed by linking naturally cleared or disturbed areas.
- B15
Construction of new crossings over watercourses must be avoided and is only permitted when no reasonable alternative is available.

Temporary infrastructure includes any infrastructure (roads, tracks, bridges, culverts, dams, bores, buildings, fixed machinery, hardstand areas, airstrips, helipads etc) which is to be removed after mining has ceased; or - areas where land has been contaminated. However, the following areas are not included: - areas off lease (e.g. roads or tracks which provide access to the mining lease); areas previously significantly disturbed which have achieved the rehabilitation outcomes; by agreement with the administering authority, areas previously significantly disturbed which have not achieved the rehabilitation objectives due to circumstances beyond the control of the mine operator (such as climatic conditions); areas under permanent infrastructure. Permanent infrastructure includes any infrastructure (roads, tracks, bridges, culverts, dams, bores, buildings, fixed machinery, hardstand areas, airstrips, helipads etc) which is to be left by agreement with the landowner. The agreement to leave permanent infrastructure must be recorded in the Landowner Agreement and lodged with the administering authority; disturbances that pre-existed the grant of the tenure unless those areas are disturbed during the term of the tenure. “tracks” means roads, tracks or paths, greater than ten (10) metres in length that has been fully stripped of all vegetation to enable the progress of vehicles, equipment or pedestrians. “watercourse” means a river, creek or stream in which water flows permanently or intermittently in a visibly defined channel (natural, artificial or artificially improved) with: (a) continuous bed and banks; (b) an extended period of flow for some months after rain ceases, and (c) an adequacy of flow that sustains basic ecological processes and maintains biodiversity Gre www.ehp.qid.gov.au ABN 46 640 294 485
