The SRS was constructed in 2008 for the purpose of providing a permanent facility for the sand
renourishment of Noosa Main Beach. The Noosa Beach Sand Recycle System (SRS) is located at
the end of Claude Batten Drive, Noosa Heads.
Figure 1: Sand Pumping System Overview
The current facility consists of a water intake pump installed on a jetty in the Noosa River and a
pumping station located at the end of Claude Batten Drive. The SRS receives pumped sand from
the installed sandshifters and pumps the material through a buried pipeline for discharge on the
Hastings Street end of Noosa Main beach. Pipelines connect the infrastructure; these pipelines
distribute sea water and sand slurry to the specific locations.
The absence of an effective sand recycling system at the beach would leave it exposed to an
unacceptable risk of annual net loss of sand due to tidal and weather related events (not
withstanding risks to Council’s reputation and the local economy due to Tourism impacts). The
sand recycling system is fully funded by the Noosa Main Beach Maintenance Levy.
