Private                 Jetski's (PWC) restrictions should be abolished.
                             -     I have seen small boats behaving far worse in the river.
                             -     If you are going to restrict certain vessels from using and enjoying the river than why not restrict all motorized vessels.

Private                 Lift the ban on jet skis so we can enjoy the river as well , jetski are a lot less harmful to the environment and less wash then most boats.

Private                 Government rules are already in place
                            -  all vessels should be registered
                            -  all vessels should have working engines
                            -  all vessels should have holding tanks that work
                            -  Council can and should check on this regularly, this may stop extra vessels being dumped into the Noosa River
                            -  Council should entice owners to take responsibility first.

Private                 I would first want to know HOW (what options) are there for anchoring in the river & Woods Bay(s)
                             -     who is going to monitor/control 'same'
                             -     who is going to monitor the MSQ mooring buoys & positions
                             -     who is going to grant new positions and what will be the costs associated with new & existing moorings
                             -     will the NSC make the length of the river from Harbortown to the river mouth a 6 knot speed limit 12 months of the year???
                             -     when these questions are answered, I would then put my hand up to become an active 'steward' of the river.

Private                 My involvement would be ensuring state government calls the shots, not Noosa council.

Private                 As a rate payer, I do not want to be involved because I already pay my State taxes for the QLD Govt to manage our water way.
                             -    Get them more involved.
                             -    Let them Police it.
                             -    Noosa Council, I am not paying you extra as a rate payer to be involved in a Management Plan that I am not convinced you will succeed at in the long
                                  run.

Private                 Help raise awareness

Private                 Raising awareness, education

Private                 I'm unable to find a copy of the Noosa River Plan Version 2 anywhere on Council's website so I have no idea how to answer this.

Private                 I’d like to see a road bridge between Noosa and north shore, stop polluting the river and atmosphere with grubby barges, just saying.

Private                 I am interested in the new initiative to support an Indigenous Land and Sea Ranger program for Noosa.
                             -    I think that Aboriginal cultural heritage has been disrespected in the catchment adjacent to Elanda Point
                             -    A Part 6 study / site survey should be undertaken to better understand both the tangible and intangible cultural heritage associated with the Noosa River
                                  at locations where developers are encroaching on state land.

Private                 I would also like to participate in any visioning and future planning associated with potential transport solutions involving the river.
                             -    I think this is a key initiative that has not been explored properly yet and has potential in the medium to long term.

Private                 Think Tank committee

Noosa Integrated        NICA is interested in assisting Council in the design, development and implementation of several initiatives outlined in the River Plan including those program
Catchment Association   areas already undertaken by NICA on a regular basis.
(NICA)                      -     NICA would welcome the opportunity to meet directly with Council to progress this collaboration.

Boating Industry        The BIA supports the concept of shared responsibility as stewards.
Association (BIA)           -    BIA would like to offer on-going input, including advice to Council on the social, economic and environmental benefits arising from boating.
                            -    BIA would offer support to use its networks and leverage in advocacy with State and Federal Governments and education programs to support a triple
                                 bottom line approach to boating (paddle, power and sail) activities for the waterway.
