GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                                      14 MAY 2018


8.   Implementation
This report’s recommendation outlines the initial implementation steps associated with the
foreshore plan project, which include:
   Adoption of the Foreshore Plan to allow it to guide future land use decisions (such as
     tenure requests, permit applications, development applications, temporary event
     applications, and the like);
   A formal request to DNRME that the Foreshore Plan be recognised as a Land
     Management Plan in accordance with the provisions of the Land Act 1994;
   Advice to DTMR that a new boat ramp and trailer carpark in Chaplin Park is not supported;
   Inclusion of new provisions in Noosa’s draft new planning scheme to allow a kiosk at each
     commercial jetty;
   Initiation of the Local Law amendment process for a proposed dog off-leash area within
     Chaplin Park;
   Consideration of a future feasibility study for the establishment of a multi-use water sports
     facility based at the Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club; and
   Internal Council review of infrastructure needs and opportunities relating to:
     o     A multi-use roofed structure for a range of events within the eastern portion of
           Chaplin Park;
     o     Pathway and recreational infrastructure within Chaplin Park to facilitate improved
           public access and passive recreational use; and
     o     Additional public toilets between the existing amenities near Lions Park and Ely Park;
These actions will finalise the Foreshore Plan preparation and commence future steps to deliver
its visions. The plan is intended to operate for a 10 year horizon to 2028 but may be reviewed
from time to time, with any reviews subject to formal Council consideration.

NOOSAVILLE FORESHORE – COMMERCIAL JETTY LEASES & ENCROACHMENTS ONTO
COMMUNITY LAND
That Council note the report by the Property Advisor to the Services & Organisation Committee
meeting dated 7 March 2017 and authorise the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to:
A.   Write to the Queensland Government (DNRM) confirming Council’s support of their
     proposed compliance action to ensure its lease holders remain within approved lease
     areas;
B.   Write to commercial jetty leaseholders along Gympie Terrace advising them to cease
     encroachments onto reserve land;
C.   Seek to develop a Memorandum of Understanding between DNRM and Council to
     establish:
     1.    a regular compliance inspection program of commercial river leases identified in
           Figure 1 of the report; and
     2.    a process by which the parties consult prior to consenting to any new sub-leases or
           uses.
D.   Note that matters arising from conflicts with the planning scheme by commercial jetty
     leaseholders are currently on hold while Council waits for advice from DNRM with regards
     to their intended actions, in particular in respect of the leases being for “marine facilities
     purposes”.
