EASTERN BEACHES FORESHORE RESERVES MANAGEMENT PLAN - COMMUNITY CONSULTATION OVERVIEW AND PROPOSED CHANGES · Attachment 3 EBFRMP Engagement Analysis Articulous

   •    There were an additional 10 responses shared across other action areas that related to incidents and disaster management

Relevant responses were analysed to identify the below key themes:

 Theme                    Key comments include:
 Fire                     "Ensure the preservation of informal access, which proved vital in extinguishing spot fires in the direct aftermath of the
                          Peregian fires.”

                          “Talk to QPWS about providing Rural Firefighters with unlimited free beach access: we're the ones putting our lives at
                          risk driving fire trucks around when disasters strike - we should not have to pay to use these areas when there's no fire on,
                          because we need to learn the lay of the land while it's *not* an emergency.”

                          “Fire breaks every where along the beaches.“
 Coastal hazards          “Better support and collaborate with the community to facilitate local stormwater debris cleanup. Debris come from land
                          (stormwater) and ocean (marine) why do you keep missing this point?”

                          “Surf Clubs and lifeguards conduct rescues up and down these beaches. After unusual weather events and King tides, we
                          often can not travel down sections of the beach which can impact on our ability to conduct rescues in a timely manner.
                          Please include this type of incident in your planning.“
 Pontoons                 “Ensure pontoons are not made with polystyrene. All pontoons are registered and if flooded out to the ocean, then the
                          owners can be fined. This needs state government support.”



 Role of council          “As noted previously, nomination of a Council Coastal liaison officer with identified pathways and action obligations.”

                          “There are many locals who happily assist with collaborative community clean ups but often unsure of what they are
                          allowed to do! So some more information over time!“
 General                  "What evidence is there that this would have any positive effect on the area."

                          "This plan needs to be replicated in Noosa National Park, particularly Alexandria Bay."
