1 Introduction

    ̶
The Noosa Harbour Resource and Las Rias Holiday Apartments are two adjoining resorts located on
Quamby Place, Noosa Heads, with frontage to the Noosa River. The body corporates for these facilities
(Noosa Harbour CTS 11159 and Las Rias CTS6315) are seeking approval to redevelop a failing
revetment wall along this river frontage, including development of groynes to support retention of sand
and associated burial of the wall. Sand to support both groyne construction and initial revetment burial
will be sourced from a sand bank adjoining the main channel within the Noosa River. These works have
been necessitated by the long-term deterioration of the revetment wall and increased erosion pressures
from the changed configuration of the Noosa River and nearby Weyba Creek.

This report presents supporting material for the following approvals applications associated with these
works:

•       Development Permit for Prescribed Tidal Works associated with:
        ­   Revetment wall repairs
        ­   Groyne construction
        ­   Establishment of a once off sand sourcing site
•       Development Permit for Material Change of Use (MCU) associated with concurrence Environmental
        Relevant Activities (ERAs) for capital sand sourcing (dredging) works
•       Environmental Authority associated with ERA 16(1)(a) for capital sand sourcing (dredging) works
•       Allocation of Quarry Material for the proportion of sand brought above mean high water springs
        (MHWS) during works.
Once the works are established, ongoing maintenance may be required to ‘top up’ sand eroding into the
marine environment. This would be subject to existing approvals held by local dredging contractors and
are not in the scope of the current application.
