Jetty OP Works App - Planning Report

2.   Background

On 14th November 1994 Noosa Council issued a Decision Notice approving a jetty at the subject site. Figure
1 below is an extract from the existing approved plans and the approved configuration of the joint jetty.

The jetty as approved is to be 6 meters in length from the property boundary. A jet ski dry storage device
is currently fitted to the western side of the joint jetty.

Due to the nature of the canal minimal water flow is experienced at the location of the existing joint jetty.
As a result, silting of the canal, particularly at the end where the jetty is located has occurred, reducing
the depth of water available. Consequently, at the time of construction the jetty was extended further
into the canal.

The extension of the existing joint jetty was necessary to render the jetty functional for the mooring of
vessels in the canal. Without the extension or dredging of the canal, the jetty is unpractical and unusable
as a jetty and vessel mooring device.
