2021-01-18 GC - Item 2 - Attachment 2 - Consultation Report River Plan Version 1 (2018)

                           -   A large new boat ramp with very large designated parking should be built near the vehicle ferry crossing as it is the only place where there is sufficient
                               room.
                           -   This problem will not go away.
                           -   Power lines would have to go underwater near the council chambers in case yacht masts do not have sufficient clearance.
                           -   Boreen Point has only one proper boat ramp, not two as stated in the Plan.
                           -   It is only suitable for very shallow draft vessels.
                           -   At present it is handling the usage well.
                           -   Noosa Harbour Marina that has been at capacity for years.
                           -   It is mainly a ferry terminal with numerous restaurants around the edge.
                           -   It has not he ability to handle any further vessels.
                           -   It does not supply any marine services.

Private                    -   Personally I much prefer the NOOSAVILLE ramp for two reasons:
                           -   The steep ramp with the finger beside means it is much easier getting on and off your boat next to the finger with the steep ramp.
                           -   Being able to leave your boat tied to the finger while parking your car is a great asset
                           -   You do not have to park your boat on the sand and rocks that lay underneath the water damaging your boat.
                           -   I also think that Chaplin Park is a prime location for a very well facilitated boat ramp
                           -   As our population and visitors to the area dramatically increase year after year.
                           -   I think the local and visiting community would benefit from a large boat ramp at Chaplin Park
                           -   While still being able to provide a very substantial grassy area for children and families.

Private                    -   Tickets for using boat ramps instead of building more of them.

Private                    -   No more jetties – especially for commercial operators.

Lake Cootharaba Sailing    -   The source documentation 1997 is out of date and appears to me to be information from pre 1996.
Club                       -   A lot of the information is no longer relevant to the NR Plan.
                           -   For example, the plan does not cover areas, such as Noosa Waters, which has the largest vessel ownership in the area, with some 928 dwellings
                               listed.
                           -   Most of these dwellings own a vessel which accesses the river through a lock.

Private                    -   Please provide more public jetty areas.
                           -   We love to fish with our kids, but the jetties are all private and locked up.

Private                    -   Council needs to build more ramps and boat trailer parking.
                           -   Upgrading lanes without providing additional parking is a waste of time.
                           -   The only solution is to turn Chaplin Park and its surrounds into a boat ramp and trailer parking.

Private                    -   I want to express my concern at the Proposed Draft.
                           -   Too many times a natural asset is over restricted at the detriment of the public.
                           -   I think common sense should prevail and existing residential facilities like jetties and houseboats should be protected not restricted.
                           -   Example I have seen firsthand where the council in Brisbane have systematically taken away access to boat ramps and jetties in the Brisbane River
                               to an extent where the public are almost banned from using their own beautiful asset.
                           -   On the other hand Perth and Sydney has embraced the river system and encourage public usage.
                           -   It is widely utilized and loved by the public.
                           -   DO NOT WRECK public and private access to the Noosa river system for low private and public usage.
                           -   Sustainable jetty, houseboat usage and rental should be promoted not restricted.
                           -   LEAVE ACCESS TO THE QUEENSLAND PUBLIC.
                           -   All you will achieve is to drive up pricing and push out the families who have enjoyed this area for generations.

Private                    -   A specific query in regard to community and tourist use of the riverside pathways.
                           -   Probably not in the scope of the NR plan.
                           -   There is a great, heavily used pathway that runs along the river following Gympie Terrace up to the Yacht Club.
                           -   From there to go further west toward Tewantin, you must detour along heavy traffic and finally to Hilton Esp.
                           -   It would be interesting to see if the riverside properties along this stretch have illegally built fences up to the river.
                           -   If legal, a boardwalk would be great past these properties.
                           -   Mention somewhere of completing key linkages in riverside walkways with floating walkways between Munna Point and eastern end of Gympie Tce &
                               between eastern end of Hilton Tce & Chaplin Pk.

Department of Transport    -   Good morning, the department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) owns several hundred recreational boating facilities across Queensland,
and Main Roads / Boating       including some in your local government area.
Infrastructure Team /      -   Under the Transport Infrastructure (Public Marine Facilities) Regulation 2011, the appointed manager of a facility may allow commercial use of a
                               recreational boating facility, as shown in the extract below.
                           -   Section 6 of the Public marine facilities regulation 2011: Condition of appointment
                           -   The appointment of a manager is on condition that the manager allow the public marine facility for which the manager is appointed to be used only
                                    -    for a genuine, private, recreational boating purpose; or
                                    -    for a commercial purpose with-
                                    -    the manager’s written approval; and
                                    -    the written consent of the chief executive.

                           -   TMR acknowledges the work Boatsafe Queensland does for the boating community in training boaties, issuing licences and encouraging safe boating
                               practices.
                           -   As the chief executive for purposes of the Regulation, TMR consents to the commercial use of TMR-owned boating facilities for commercial use by
                               Boatsafe Queensland.
                           -   While the appointed manager has the right to charge a fee to allow commercial use of a facility, TMR encourages any permits issued to Boatsafe
                               Queensland be free of charge where possible.


Department of              -   Re objective 4
Environment and Science    -   This review includes unapproved boat ramps and jetties on public land and in the FHA and raises the potential safety risk to the public accessing
                               unapproved boat ramps and jetties.
                           -   The development of a comprehensive database of boat ramps and jetties in the river system provides information for current and future compliance
                               assessments in the FHA.
                           -   The Recreational Boating Facilities Demand Forecasting Study for Noosa Council’s consideration suggests issues of overcrowding, capacity and
                               safety with regard to recreational boating facilities.
                           -   The draft plan suggests Council is more likely to support upgrades to existing facilities than the building of new boat ramps, which is a management
                               approach that is broadly supported in FHAs generally, subject to any approval requirements.

Private                    -   Lack of Emergency Evacuation facilities on NNS



                                                                                                                                                                                       14
