1.2. SITE HISTORY

During the Second World War areas on the Sunshine Coast were established by the Australian
Military Forces as training areas to support war operations. This site lies within the area known as
the Coolum to Noosa Military Training Area and is in an area listed by Defence as having
“substantial” Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) contamination. The range was used for artillery, armour
and infantry live firing practice and exercises until the late 1950's. Over subsequent years there
have been numerous UXO items reported by the public within this area and, in more recent years,
additional UXO have been located by remedial searching.

This area was the subject of a report by Defence: Ops Br 0447/92 (Q1300-3-12) published April
1992. It was further updated by Defence in conjunction with the Qld EPA in early 1998
