Project Urban – 15253                                                                            February 2016




4.0 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
The proposed development is to be located within the existing Noosa Marina, which was originally
established under a special development lease granted by the state government.

The lease provides for the use of the site for "marine facility purposes, namely a marina for the berthing of
sixty-five vessels, a tourist centre and charter vessel/tour boat passenger terminal and common user vessel
berth or berths and licensed premises, and facilities as are reasonably associated with the operation of a
marina including a fuelling facility, slipway, marine workshop (not to include sandblasting), security and
management centre, offices, restaurants and speciality shops."

Subsequent use rights have also been previously established under the planning scheme through a
historical rezoning and plan of development.

The development proposes to remove an existing pontoon and replace it with a deck structure at the north
eastern most edge of the existing marina development as shown on the attached proposal plans prepared
by International Marina Consultants. The proposal includes approximately 409m2 of decking and a new
concrete slab area of approximately 28.5m2.

The proposed works are wholly contained within the existing use/lease area and are consistent with
existing use rights and provisions of the state government lease and previous Council approvals. The
proposed works will provide improved facilities for existing site uses.
