                          future maintenance to an acceptable standard;

                          cover installation, management and maintenance of the memorial.




REPORT
The purpose of this report is to advise Council that Noosa Coast Guard has formally written to
Council requesting approval to build a Memorial Wall adjacent to the walkway leading to the radio
tower on the Noosa river mouth groyne.

The memorial wall is proposed to contain “plaques in memory of loved ones who have been
cremated and whose ashes have been scattered at sea.”

The Coast Guard aims to sell plaque spaces as a way to provide income to replace the primary
rescue vessel which is due for replacement in approximately 8 years.

Attached is a photo of the memorial wall on Caloundra Headland. The Noosa Coast Guard
propose to build a similar structure.
