Read the full storyThe Hinchinbrook Shire Council, with support from the Department of Primary Industries, would like to remind Hinchinbrook residents of the conditions and rules which apply to the periodic trimming of mangroves within the ‘permitted area’ on Council’s reserve, adjacent to John Dory Street Taylors Beach.
The trimming of mangroves adjacent to properties 56 to 68 John Dory Street Taylors Beach is only permitted due to the unique historical nature of arrangements that have taken place over the past 70 years; and is the only permit of its kind in Queensland.
The periodic trimming of mangroves was once undertaken by individual property owners, who planted these mangroves along the foreshore to reduce erosion caused by wave action from the open waters adjacent. This has proven to be a very effective natural protection strategy, and trimming was undertaken lawfully by residents for approximately 50 years, before the introduction of the Fisheries Act 1999. Since then, the residents at Taylors Beach have required a permit to continue the periodic trimming of the mangrove hedge at this location.
In the interest of Taylors Beach residents and cultural significance of this area, Council is now the permit holder for the ongoing trimming and maintenance of the mangroves in this area and has recently been successful in renewing the permit.
However, the new permit contains conditions whereby only those persons ‘authorised by Council’ may trim mangroves within the designated area, along with a list of other restrictions and conditions which must be adhered to. This includes notification by Council to the Department of Primary Industries of its intent, and must also report back after the ‘authorised works’ have been completed so that the department can inspect the works for compliance.
Unauthorised destruction of mangroves outside of the permitted area, and/or conditions and rules put both Council and the permit itself at significant risk.
Any removal, destruction, or damage of marine plants (not just mangroves) which is not authorised by Council or consistent with the conditions of the mangrove trimming permit will be reported to the Department of Primary Industries and dealt with under the relevant legislation.
By providing this information, Council hopes to ensure residents are fully aware of the new permit conditions and urges people to be mindful of their surroundings.
Residents are encouraged to report any suspicious activities to Council, the Police, or to the Department of Primary Industries online via their website www.qld.gov.au/recreation/activities/boating-fishing/rec-fishing/reporting or by phoning 1800 900 090.
Council is committed to preserving and enhancing our fisheries and natural assets for all to enjoy and appreciates the assistance of the community in achieving this unified goal.
