 Editor’s Note –
Community Snapshot
Location
• Saibai Island is part of the Torres Strait top
western group of islands. Located approximately
3km south of Papua New Guinea and 138km
north of Horn Island, Saibai is the second most
northern point of Australia. As such, it plays
a significant role in national border security
and serves as an early detection zone for the
transmission of exotic pests and diseases into
mainland Australia.
Population
• Most of the larger vegetated areas are identified
as a potential bushfire risk.
Topography and Environment
• Saibai is a flat, mud island with large interior
swamps filled with brackish water. Its origins
stem from the presence of the Fly River that
discharges vast quantities of silt and sediment
into nearby coastal waters.
• Covering an area of 10,400 hectares, it is one of
the largest islands in the Torres Strait.
• According to the most recent census, there were
480 people living on Saibai Island in August
2011, however, the population is highly transient
and this may not be an accurate estimate. Saibai
Island in particular hosts a large number of
stayovers from Papua New Guinea who come to
visit family and friends, trade with islanders, shop
and access medical services.
• Dominant habitat types include mangroves
habitat, sand and mudflat habitat, savannah
grassland and salt pans. Sand and mudflat
habitats provide a ‘stepping stone’ for wading
birds as they migrate through the region.
Natural Hazards
• As Saibai has large inundated areas that are
tidally influenced, the island has limited waterway
values other than those associated with marine
drainage paths from mangroves and other
inland areas. The extensive wetlands and other
mangrove areas are significant environmentally
and recreationally.
• In relation to coastal hazards, Saibai Island is
currently subject to frequent inundation over
parts of the community during highest tides. The
extent and frequency of these events are likely to
increase in the future with climate change.
• Due to the topography and low lying nature of the
island, other hazards such as catchment flooding
and landslide do not present a significant threat
to the Saibai Island community.
Torres Strait Island Regional Council
Planning Scheme
Page 506
• Native flora and fauna that have been identified
on Saibai Island include false water rat,
foreshore skink and emerald monitor.
Part 7: Local Plans
Saibai Island
• As with all Torres Strait Islanders, the Saibai
Island community has close connections to land,
sea and sky and consider themselves as part of
Gogobithiay (a local word for land, sea and sky).
The community plans to remain on their island
and adapt to their changing environment.
Township
• The township is located on a narrow
embankment along the north western shoreline
and is approximately 22km long by 2.75km wide.
• There are seven clan groups on Saibai Island
which include Saibai Koedal, Dhoeybaw, ThabuBurm / Katbay, Sui / Saydam, Umay, Aitkoedal
and Samu.
• Possible enterprise opportunities include
aquaculture, pearl farming, barramundi farming,
seafood industries (such as crab and crayfish),
ferry services, taxi service, boat repairs, funeral
services, guest house and enterprises based on
local arts and culture.
1. Many of the community aspirations listed here are taken from
the Saibai Community Booklet 2012, which identifies community
priorities relating to the National Indigenous Reform Agreement
(NIRA) building blocks of early childhood, schooling, health,
economic participation, healthy homes, safe communities,
governance and leadership. Priorities that have a development
implication are summarised here to provide an indication of the
needs of the community. This is supplemented with information
gained from community members during community consultation.
Community Aspirations 1
• Aspirations for built community and sporting
facilities include the establishment of a child care
centre, an interagency building (to accommodate
commonwealth and state agencies as well as
NGOs), a second community store (such as an
Island and Cape), commercial freezer, recording
studio / BRACS service, space for training,
women’s shelter, local gym, SES, community
garden / hydroponics and arts centre.

 Editor’s Note –
Local Story
The first man at Saibai was Mesea. He is
usually called Melewal, because his home was
a big bailer shell of the kind called Melewal.
Melewal and Budia are called Muruig because
they were the first people, no one else lived
at Saibai before them. Budia arrived first
when he saw Melelwal crawl from the sea
with an Alup shell (Bailer shell) on his back.
Budia said to the new comer, “Who are you? If
you are man, answer me.”
Upon learning that the stranger was indeed
a man he invited him to live at Saibai. Before
Melewal came, Budia lived in a hole in the
ground, now he said, “Henceforth, now I shall
live above ground, my home will be a Bugle
shell.”
Both men used to leave their shell (home)
and go for a walk. Melewal as a man, Budia as
a Willy-wagtail bird (Seseku).
Two brothers, Nima and Poipoi and their
sister Ereu lived at Magadaramkuiki, one day
Ereu obtained permission from her brothers
to hunt for crabs on the reef. A man named
Gamai who was sailing back to his home
Maiad, a village on the Papuan mainland
asked Ereu to go with him. She agreed and
the pair then travelled together in the canoe,
hugging the eastern coast of Daudai to
Gamai’s home Maiad. When Ereu failed to
return from the reef by the morning, Nima
and Poipoi set out in search for their sister.
They walked across the swamp, then a short
distance further they saw lying on the ground
a piece of Bamboo such as that used to make
a bow and arrow. Each said to the other,
“Someone must live here,” so they called out,
“Koimega (friend) are you here?”
Melewal left his shell and greeted them and
asked, “Where are you going?”
“We are looking for our sister, have you seen
her?”, they asked.
“No”, said Melewal and asked, “Where is your
canoe?”

Saibai Island
“Our canoe Binibin is our topi iana”, said Nima
and Poipoi.
The canoe, Binibin, was a magical one. Nima
and Poipoi had a half coconut shell in their
topi iana. When they wanted to travel by sea,
they removed the half coconut shell from the
topi iana and stuck a magic feather in it, the
shell then transformed itself into the canoe,
Binibin.
Budia and Melewal invited Nima and Poipoi
to spend the night with them. The brothers
refused and Budia said to them, “After you
go I shall return to my former home under
the ground, never to be seen again. Tell my
people who come after me that I will leave
two remembrances of myself to them. A hole
which will sometime appear in the ground at
the spot I live and the bird Seseku into which
I changed.”
Ereu and Gamia married at Maiad, with Ereu’s
brother’s permission and stayed there and
lived happily ever after. Nima and Poipoi
continued to sail on. Melewal stayed at Saibai
in his Bailer shell home. Budia as promised
now and then appears in a Willy Wagtail
(Seseku) bird form when a hole appears in the
ground.

Museum, Horn Island, April 2008
Nima and Poipoi sailed on and reached
Daudai. They sailed along the coast and
named every place they saw. They continued
to sail east and finally saw a light of the
village Maiad, where their sister Ereu had
gone with Gamia.

Part 7: Local Plans
Saibai Island
 Editor’s Note – It is critical that future development in the Torres Strait takes into account potential risks
associated with coastal hazards such erosion and storm tide inundation, both now and in the future as sea
levels rise. Planning responses will vary from island to island depending on the geomorphology of the island;
the location of the township and township expansion area in relation to coastal hazards; the nature and severity
of the risk; and the desires and aspirations held by the local community. In many cases, decisions about how to
respond to coastal hazards will take time for local communities to thoroughly consider and decide.
This planning scheme takes coastal hazards into account using the best available data (at the time of writing).
It is anticipated that, over time, the communities of the Torres Strait will continue to discuss these issues
and develop an agreed position on the most appropriate responses at the local level. The outcome of these
decisions will need to be incorporated into future amendments or revisions to this planning scheme.
While the best available data has been used in this planning scheme, projections about climate change may
alter over time. In addition, circumstances may change which means that previous projections about coastal
hazards are no longer valid (for example, if a sea wall is constructed to protect a township, calculations about
where sea levels may extend to as a consequence of storm tide inundation and sea level rise will no longer be
accurate). These circumstances will be taken into account either through development application processes
or through planning scheme amendments.
 Editor’s Note – Dwelling houses and dual occupancies are not made assessable under section 5 of this
planning scheme, therefore, the planning scheme provisions do not apply to these land uses. However,
building works approval will be required.
 Editor’s Note – Essential community infrastructure is used in this document to describe infrastructure that is
critical during and after an emergency and includes land uses such as emergency services, hospitals, health
care services, renewable energy facilities, telecommunications facilities, utility installations, substations and
major electricity infrastructure (see the land use definitions in schedule 1.1). This is different to the term community facilities, which is used in this document to describe facilities which
provide important social services to the community. Land use examples of community facilities include
cemeteries, child care centres, clubs, community care centres, community residences, community uses,
crematoriums, detention facilities, educational establishments, emergency services, health care services,
hospitals, places if worship, retirement facilities, residential care facilities and rooming accommodation (see the
land use definitions in schedule 1.1). Note – For the purpose of section 13 of the Building Regulations 2006:
(1) land shown as flood hazard areas and storm tide inundation areas on the maps in schedule 2 is designated as
the flood hazard area; and
(2) the defined flood level is declared to be xxx MSL.
Consultation Note: During the public consultation period Council is seeking information from the community to
identify the defined flood level. For further information or to make a submission please contact Council on 07 4034
5700 or [email protected].
Note – Land shown as bushfire hazard area on the maps in schedule 2 is designated as the bushfire prone area
for the purposes of section 12 of the Building Regulation 2006. The bushfire hazard area (bushfire prone area)
includes land covered by very high, high and medium hazard areas as well as the potential impact buffer category.

and Townships
People and Townships
(1)
Economic and employment opportunities are critical for the long term sustainability and self-determination of the
Saibai community and opportunities are taken for development to support these objectives. Opportunities may
include enterprises such aquaculture, pearl farming, barramundi farming, seafood industries, ferry services, taxi
service, boat repairs, funeral services, guest house and enterprises based on local arts and culture.
(2)
Development facilitates access to affordable, fresh and healthy foods, including community gardens, fresh food
markets and home food gardens.
(3)
New development contributes to the creation of pleasant, safe attractive living environments and the health and
wellbeing of Torres Strait Islanders.
(4)
A range of accommodation activities is provided within the township zone that responds to the needs of the
community, including larger dwellings suitable for large families and smaller dwellings suitable for singles, young
couples, older couples and small families.
(5)
New accommodation activities make efficient use of available unconstrained land within the township zone.
(6)
The township expansion precinct is developed primarily for the purpose of accommodation activities, well
connected to the existing township, creates a pleasant living environment for internal and surrounding residents
and able to be efficiently serviced by town infrastructure.
(7)
Outstations and camping areas are generally located within the environmental management and conservation
zone and are an important part of Torres Strait Islander life, helping to keep communities connected to their
traditional lands.
(8)
Development that requires connections to town services is located so that electricity, water supply and sewerage
infrastructure can be provided in a cost effective and efficient way.
(9)
Safe and convenient access to community, sport and recreation facilities is available to meet the needs of the
community, including people with special needs, older people, children, low income earners and people with
disabilities.
(10) Town infrastructure and short term accommodation capacity on Saibai Island is able to respond to demand from
the large number of visitors from PNG and other communities in the Torres Strait.
 Editor’s Note – The terms ‘garden’, ‘community garden’ and ‘food garden’ are used in this planning scheme to
describe traditional gardens and home food production, which may be conducted by individuals, households
or clan/family groups within a house lot or elsewhere in the community on traditional land. These terms are not
the same as ‘cropping’, which is done for commercial purposes and defined elsewhere in this planning scheme
(see the land use definitions in schedule 1.1).

Saibai Island
Ailan Kastom and Cultural Heritage
(1)
Communities are developed based on Ailan Kastom and Aboriginal traditions. In particular, access to the sea
and the natural environment is maintained, and important places and events used for traditional practices are
protected from any impacts of development.
(2)
Places and items of heritage significance for cultural, historical or archaeological reasons are identified and
protected for the benefit of current and future generations.
 Editor’s Note – Places shown as sacred sites and significant trees on the maps in schedule 2 are potential
locations of cultural heritage value. Other locations of cultural heritage will exist that are not shown on the
maps and in some cases, locations are not recorded due to reasons of confidentiality.
It is important that all land users are aware of their obligations under the Torres Strait Islander Cultural Heritage
Act 2003.
The Act recognises that Torres Strait Islander people are the guardians, keepers and knowledge holders of
their cultural heritage. Importantly, the Act recognises that significant areas do not necessarily have markings
or other physical evidence indicating occupation or denoting its significance. For example, geographical places
of importance may such as places that are part of myths or legends (commonly referred to as ‘storyplaces’) are
significant under the Act.
The most important part of the Act is the Duty of Care provisions that require those conducting activities in
areas of significance to take all reasonable and practical measures to avoid harming cultural heritage.
In addition, historical cultural heritage that are not Indigenous in origin are protected under the Queensland
Heritage Act 1992. These places are recorded in this planning scheme.

Getting Around
(1)
The Saibai Island airstrip, helicopter landing pad, barge ramp, finger pier and associated facilities are critical
pieces of transport infrastructure for the Saibai Island community. Development does not impact on the integrity
of these facilities or the efficient and safe operation of air and sea transport services.
(2)
Transport infrastructure is designed to minimise noise, lighting or other disturbances to residents and users of
surrounding accommodation activities and community facilities.
 Editor’s Note – Development within tidal areas may be assessable against Schedule 4A of the Coastal
Protection and Management Regulation 2003 if defined as ‘prescribed tidal works’. For a definition of
‘prescribed tidal works’ refer to the Coastal Protection and Management Act 2003.
 Editor’s Note – Transport infrastructure is used in this document to describe infrastructure required to move
people around. Examples include roads, jetties, barge ramps, airports, helipads and walkways.
It includes land use definitions such as air services, transport depot and landing (see the land use definitions in
schedule 1.1).

Town Infrastructure
(1)
Reliance on local waste facilities for the disposal of construction waste is minimised to the extent possible.
(2)
own infrastructure is located and designed to avoid or minimise negative impacts on the community including
T
negative visual impacts.
(3)
Development does not impede the future ability to:
 Editor’s Note – the existing sewage treatment plant, waste facility and water supply infrastructure are nearing
capacity (partly due to additional demand placed in infrastructure by PNG nationals) and may need to be
expanded, or an alternative site found. As an investigation into potential sites had not yet occurred at the time
this planning scheme was written, applicants will need to consult with TSIRC to determine if a suitable site for
these facilities has been identified at the time a development application is being lodged.
 Editor’s Note – Town infrastructure is used in this document to describe infrastructure required to provide a
basic range of town services. Examples include water supply, sewage treatment, waste collection and disposal,
stormwater management, electricity and telecommunications. It includes land uses such as major electricity
infrastructure, renewable energy facilities, sub-stations, telecommunication facilities and utility installation
facilities (see the land use definitions in schedule 1.1). Services provided by town infrastructure may or may not be available within the township zone but typically are
not available outside of the township zone. For further information about the existing and planned infrastructure
(water supply, sewerage, stormwater, transport, parks and land for community facilities) refer to the local
government infrastructure plans (LGIPs) in part 4 of this planning scheme.
As noted in the LGIPs, it is difficult to predict future demand for town infrastructure in TSIRC communities
due to the way development processes and funding takes place in the region. Therefore, decisions about
infrastructure provision are likely to be made on a case by case basis, depending on funding availability and a
range of other factors.

No acceptable solution is nominated.
(1) connects to surrounding streets and parks to allow
easy movement for pedestrians and vehicles
between older and newer parts of town;
(2) minimises runoff, wastage of water and negative
impacts on water quality by retaining natural drainage
lines, maximising permeable surfaces and, where
possible, maximising opportunities for reuse of water;
(3) provides for building orientation that maximises
access to cooling breezes;
(4) is sequenced to allow efficient connections or
upgrades to town infrastructure such as roads,
water, waste water, drainage and electricity; and
(5) includes landscaping in streets and public areas.
PO22
Community facilities, particularly those accommodating
child care, educational, training and health services are
located within the township zone.
No acceptable solution is nominated.

impacts that may lessen the significance or use of nearby
cultural heritage places and sacred sites.
 Editor’s Note – Places shown as sacred sites
and significant trees are potential locations
of cultural heritage value. Other locations of
cultural heritage value will exist that are not
shown on the maps in schedule 2.
It is recommended that, prior to the
commencement of new development:
• consultation with Traditional Owners,
the relevant native title prescribed body
corporates and TSIRC and is undertaken to
identify potential cultural heritage values and
where these exist, appropriate responses;
• cultural heritage surveys are undertaken
prior to the ground disturbing activities taking
place; and
• a local Torres Strait Islander Traditional
Owner is employed as a cultural heritage
manager and monitor throughout
construction works.
Getting Around
