Jetty OP Works App - Planning Report

4. Planning Assessment

4.1 State Assessment Referral Agency

Informal advice from a SARA officer has confirmed that this development application is required to be
referred to SARA in relation to tidal works or works in a coastal management district overlay. The proposed
redesign of the jetty is assessable under Schedule 10, Part 17, Division 3, Table 2, Item 1 (10.17.3.2.1) – Tidal
works or work within a coastal management district – Maritime Safety Queensland under the Planning
Regulation 2017.

Whilst the subject site is affected by the Navigation Corridor overlay as illustrated in Figure 11, the
proposed extension to the joint jetty still permits safe mooring of a vessel to the jetty whilst remaining clear
of the overlay. Importantly, if a vessel was to protrude into the corridor, the protrusion would:

          • A) be negligible in that the protrusion would be minimal,

          • B) not affect vessels of watercraft utilising the canal as an alternative access to the Noosa
               River (refer to Figure 3). The only vessels figuratively impacted upon are those that are moored
               or stored in the cul-de-sac, and

          • C) Council and SARA have approved jetties with moored vessel which encroach the
               navigation corridor as indicated in Figure 6 of 33 Mossman Court, Noosa Heads (also refer to
               Figure 5).
