 Noosa Shire Council Coastal Hazard Adaptation Plan: Project Summary                                          23
 Findings




         • Road and pedestrian networks used by the community to access private and commercial
           properties, as well as foreshore areas and recreational facilities, are affected heavily across
            Noosaville by 2100

         • Conservation Parks (and the habitats they support) including Keyser Island, Weyba Creek by
            2070

         • The retirement village in Lake Weyba Drive by 2100 (road access and property fringe only)

         • The Noosa Australian Football Club (playing fields and parking areas) by 2070.

3.4.4    Tewantin
         Tewantin is a major service centre for the Noosa region, and accommodates a large residential
         population. Fronting the Noosa River, the foreshore parklands provide recreational facilities for the
         local community and include the Noosa Marina. Importantly, Tewantin is the southern access point
         to the Noosa River Ferry which provides the closest vehicular access to Noosa North Shore, Teewah
         and the very popular Cooloola Coast section of the Great Sandy National Park.

         The Foreshore Parklands (including Martin, Tewantin and Earl St Parks, splash park and the
         Tewantin Boat Ramp) were awarded a High risk ranking for storm tide inundation from 2070. These
         are also at a High risk from permanent sea level rise by 2070. The Noosa Marina is rated as being
         at a High risk of permanent sea level rise between 2070 and 2100 (the boardwalk, tenancies and
         car park). Other critical underground infrastructure is also at a High or Very High Risk level, largely
         in lower areas around Makepeace Island, the Tewantin Ferry landing and the end of Moorindil Street.

         Approximately 15 lots (no dwellings) have been rated as being a High risk by 2070 as a result of
         permanent sea level rise to the west of Sheep Island (in the area bound by Ward Park, Ward Street,
         Myles Street, George Street and Aida Street). A further 7 lots are also considered at High risk by
         2100 in the area bound by Tait Street, Cambridge Cresent and Moorindill Street.

         The Noosa River Island Conservation Parks (Sheep, Goat and Makepeace) and their
         ecological/open space values are a ranked as a High risk from permanent sea level rise by 2070;
         the risk to the Lake Doonella wetlands also becomes High by 2070.

         The risk from permanent sea level rise to the Noosa River Ferry access (Moorindal Street and
         Maximillian Road) becomes High by 2070. Critical infrastructure around Lake Doonella is also at
         High to Very High risk between 2070 and 2100. The road network around the Doonella bridge is
         also potentially impacted by 2050 from permanent sea level rise.

3.4.5    Noosa North Shore
         The Noosa North Shore area largely comprises the Great Sandy National Park, although there are
         small low-density residential areas fringing the north bank of the Noosa River, at Teewah and pockets
         along the Eastern shores of Lake Cootharaba/Lake Cooroibah.

         Residential properties along the Noosa River (e.g. along Wallaby Track, Wygani Drive and Homeport
         Track) are at a High risk from storm tide inundation from 2040 and a High to Very High risk as a
         result of permanent sea level rise between 2070 and 2100. This involves the majority of properties
         along the river and their road access, including the Rural Fire Brigade facilities on Noosa Drive.
