OPERATIONAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
The Rock Noosa – Lot 28A /18 Has ngs Street, Noosa Heads
Prepared in support of Change Applica on – TPC 04595TC (Removal of Condi on 8)
1. Purpose of this Plan
This Opera onal Management Plan (OMP) is submi ed in support of a Change Applica on seeking

adjacent public areas between 12:00am and 4:00am.
This OMP demonstrates that the current opera on of the premises is managed in a modern,
structured, and propor onate manner such that the con nued imposi on of Condi on 8 is
unnecessary.

Page 4
No ID scanning existed.
CCTV systems were limited.
Patron traceability was minimal.
The venue configura on included a bridge and associated bar areas.
The current venue:
Ceases trade at 2:00am.
U lises ID scanning technology.
Has 60-day CCTV reten on.
Operates within a modern compliance framework.
Does not use the historic bridge configura on.
The risk environment is materially different.
11. Conclusion
The purpose of Condi on 8 is to prevent unruly behaviour of patrons who have departed the
premises between 12:00am and 4:00am.
Given:
earlier cessa on of trade,
contemporary compliance systems,
ac ve in-house security management,
CCTV monitoring,
ID scanning,
and structured departure management,
the mandatory imposi on of a 12:00am–4:00am patrol requirement is no longer necessary or
propor onate.
The venue’s modern opera onal controls adequately address the intent of the original condi on.
Accordingly, full dele on of Condi on 8 is appropriate.
