     AREA

 Land Use               Maintain land use planning approach and ensure the Noosa Plan 2020 aligs
 Planning               with State Planning Policy requirements regarding coastal erosion risks

 Public                 Ensure asset management plans for the Noosa North Shore Campground
 recreational,          address coastal erosion risks as part of any asset renewals
 built, and
 Infrastructure
 assets

 Beaches and            Expand native vegetation coverage to support frontal dune stabilisation
 Dunes
                        Redesign beach accesses to deter foot traffic across nearby dunes
                        Investigate options for managing foot traffic within frontal dune areas, including
                        fencing design
                        Investigate opportunities for more effective control of vehicle access to dunes
                        and turtle nesting areas
                        Install signage for increasing beach user understanding of importance of
                        healthy dune systems

 Other                  No actions proposed

Inundation risks to Noosa North Shore
The main coastal hazard risk of concern for Noosa North Shore is periodic tidal inundation, both
from low frequency, high magnitude (i.e. depth and extent) storm tide events, and high frequency, low
magnitude. Table 13 shows those asset types within this locality that are projected to be exposed to
the effects of tidal inundation between present day and 2100 (map versions are available in Appendix
3). Whilst there has been very limited and low-intensity development to date, a significant proportion
of the development is private dwellings located along the shores of the Noosa River. Some of these
areas experience inundation as a result of king tides and minor flooding, however most residences
are not affected. These hazards are projected to increase in severity and frequency over the life of
this plan. There are limited publicly-owned assets in this locality, consisting primarily of unsealed road
network, with little expansion of development areas anticipated.
