APPENDIX 2: NOOSA WATERS CANAL MAINTENANCE LEVY
OVERALL PLAN
1.    Special Rate for the Maintenance of the Noosa Waters Revetment Walls
Following remedial work undertaken by Council in the Noosa Waters estate canal area to address
structural problems with the revetment walls, Council has decided to implement an inspection,
maintenance and future works program upon advice from appropriately qualified consulting
engineers. Council has developed long-term cost projections associated with the inspection,
maintenance and future works in the Noosa Waters estate canal area to provide support at a level
considered appropriate to ensure the long-term viability of the canal revetment wall system.
2.    The Rateable Land to Which the Special Rate Applies
The waterfront allotments in the Noosa Waters estate as delineated in the map 2 below. As
approximately 8.5% of the properties bordering the canals are Council-owned or -controlled, Council
will contribute 8.5% of the ongoing costs for this program, and the remainder of the costs will be met
from revenue raised by the special levy.

3.    Service, facility or activity
The service, facility or activity is the inspection, maintenance and undertaking of remedial works in
the Noosa Waters estate canal area to support the revetment wall system.
The program, which is designed to maintain the structural integrity of the revetment wall system, will
support the following works:
(1)   an ongoing program of inspections of the area by Council staff and an appropriately qualified
      consulting engineer, which will include leasing of survey equipment and the performance of
      the physical survey work including survey of scour protection profiles
(2)   periodic maintenance and works required to maintain scour protection profiles, including t
      contractor engagement to establish a work site and undertake maintenance in the Noosa
      Waters estate canal area, to maintain the structural integrity of the revetment wall
      system — maintenance works include the provision of rock to canal areas adjoining
      revetment walls to assist with the wall structure integrity
(3)   works to address structural problems with the revetment walls in the Noosa Waters Estate,
      but for clarity, the scope of the works does not include any works that are or have been
      undertaken that are known to Council as Stage 2 works.

Provision of the service, facility or activity is ongoing, i.e., likely to continue indefinitely, and thus to
be the subject of further overall plans after the implementation period for this plan expires.
