Amended Noosa Project Restoration Plan V12_5

Figure 6.5: Location of proposed load out facility located at the end of Hilton Esplanade, Noosaville

The site will be managed by the project’s contracted construction company that is experienced with
this work, having previously been contracted to the Department of Primary Industries in NSW to
undertake a similar intertidal shellfish restoration project.

The operational parameters for the site are presented in Table 6.2.

Table 6.2 Operational parameters

  Parameter           Proposal

  Timeframe:          February – April 2022 subject to permits

  Duration of use:    40 days including mobilisation, demobilisation and potential stand down days

  Management:         Contracted commercial construction company

  Site area:          Exclusive use of 540m2 of road reserve (350m2 at high tide) at the end of
                      Hilton Esplanade (Figure 6.5b)

                      Load out area A = 300m2 area (150m2 at high tide)

                      Load out area B = 200m2 area

                      Load out area connection = 40m2

                      Area A is primarily for rock and equipment loading/unloading operations in
                      association with the barge.

                      Area B is primarily for rock and equipment storage.

                      The load out area connection creates a safe fenced corridor for the movement
                      of the Posi-track loader between Areas A and B.

  Nature of uses:     Movement of up to 7 commercial trucks per day to the site to delivery
                      porphyry rock.

                      Storage of up to 90m3 of rock (150mm to 500mm diameter) per day

                      Loading of rock and dried oyster shell onto the barge using an excavator +
                      Posi-track

                      Storage of loading ramps, vehicle and heavy equipment

                      No chemicals, fuels or liquids will be stored at the site.

  Frequency of        12 hour/day operational. 6am to 6pm including site management.
  use:
                      Expected up to 7 truck movements per day along Hilton Esplanade to deliver
                      rock to the load out site per day.

                      Barge will ferry rock to restoration sites as needed from the load out facility
                      with expected 2- 5 loadings per day subject to tides.
