The site is connected to telecommunications, water, and electricity infrastructure networks with
onsite sewer treatment and disposal. All access to the site is by boat from the Noosa River and these
can moor at the islands jetty.

1.2 Proposal

The proposal is to operate the existing site facilities as a ‘boutique resort’. No new buildings,
structures or site works are required for the proposal. The ‘boutique resort’ will operate within the
existing development comprising the following:

          guest lounge
          island bar and dining
          kitchen and storerooms,
          bedroom wing
          bungalows (comprising 2 bedrooms each)
          caretakers/staff dwelling
          wastewater treatment plant.

Recreational facilities include a pool, tennis court and boat shed.

Staff are either dropped off at Noosa Marina, carpool with the general manager or park near the
Moorindil Street boat ramp.

A central bin store is currently located on site and will continue to be utilised. The bin storage area is
located under the boat shed and accommodates 6 x 75 L plastic bins with latched lids. Waste is
removed from the site daily via the barge. The general manager’s vehicle is used to transport the
waste from the barge to the dump.

MRG were advised of operational hours for various site aspects as shown in Table 1.1.

has not been required to provide emergency power for resort operations. The generator is tested
periodically to confirm it is operating well.
