                 SECTION 8 – PERFORMANCE MEASURES
                 The objectives of the performance management framework are to:

                          •    Maximise public safety
                          •    Maintain visual amenity of the Noosa River (through optimal signage)
                          •    Enact environmental safeguards to protect marine plants and natural processes
                          •    Monitor for potential erosion
                          •    Monitor and manage community feedback or complaints
                          •    Ensure contingency measures are in place

                 8.1 Public Safety

                 The key hazards associated with public safety at the restoration sites during construction and site
                 management, their likelihood and consequence, and proposed treatment are presented in Table 8.1.
                 Public safety is further analysed and presented in Annex 8: Safety in Design Report.
