       1. INTRODUCTION - (Chair Dick Barnes)

       | am pleased to submit this progress report for the first half of 2017/18 to Noosa Shire Council and hence
       to the community.
       The Board is very encouraged by its progress and the initiatives it has in hand based on our “Back to
       Basics” approach begun at the end of 2016/17. We hope you agree. Each key initiative is covered below
       and a complete list of them is provided in Attachment 1.
       We feel existing projects are going well and the new grants round is well under way.
       We are significantly more visible to the community and have had regular reviews with Council and
       Councilors.

       A year-end financial outlook is provided showing that we are managing these new initiatives within agreed
       budgets.

       2. EXISTING PROJECTS

       In November we reached a major milestone when our 14 oyster reefs were placed in the Noosa River.
       We are just finalising the necessary reporting back to the marine authorities as there had to be some
       modifications to the exact locations. We will now start the formal monitoring and reporting and look
       forward to some exciting results.

       Meetings are to be held with UQ to progress the prawn initiatives.
       The Keeping it in Kin Kin erosion project is largely finished and plans are being laid to resource the
       required remedial actions.
