Marine parks
Marine parks are established over tidal lands and waters to protect and conserve special areas while allowing for the planned use of marine resources. Multiple-use management allows for many different activities in marine parks.
When applying for activities within or adjacent to Marine Parks, applicants are encouraged to take advantage of the 'pre-design conference' process prior to submitting applications. This service is free to clients for projects that have been assessed to include issues which may require a high level of assessment. The service includes meeting with a departmental project manager to discuss all the information requirements to be provided with your application. For more details, read the Pre-design conferencing fact sheet.
This service can be initiated by contacting the Ecoaccess Customer Service Unit on 1300 368 326 or by email at eco.access@epa.qld.gov.au or completing a Pre-design conference application form. If a pre-design conference is required to discuss your application in more detail, a departmental officer will contact you directly.
