Email text from Paul & Debbi Birss, dated 20 May 2025:
To: Noosa Shire Council
We are writing to seek approval for the construction of a proposed jetty on our property.
As the Council is aware, a jetty was previously approved on this property with the consent of our neighbours.
However, no action was taken to construct the jetty at that time.
Our proposed jetty, as outlined in the current plans, is significantly smaller than the original approved design.
The new structure has been thoughtfully developed to complement the surrounding area and serve as a
permanent replacement for the temporary docking system currently in use.
We do not have a relationship with our neighbours and do not wish to share a jetty with, nor would they
wish to share with us. Our neighbours currently have their own permanent post and docking system located
on their boundary line for personal use. We do not access or interfere with this area.
The primary purpose of the proposed jetty is to securely moor our pontoon boat, as the existing docking
system is inadequate for safe mooring. Importantly, the jetty would also provide safe and stable access for
our son, who has a disability that affects his movement and balance. A stable structure is essential for his
safe access to the boat.
We also note that within our immediate area, there are multiple townhouse dwellings with sole-use jetties.
We believe a similar arrangement is most suitable for our needs.
We respectfully request the Council’s consideration and approval of our proposal.
Kind regards,
Paul Birss and Debbie Birss
