 Noosa Spit SEMP Final Report                                                                               65
 Shoreline Erosion Mitigation Options




4.2.1    Rapid Assessment of Options
         There are a variety of measures and tools available to manage persistent coastal erosion issues. A
         rapid assessment of potential options for Noosa Spit was undertaken with the intention of identifying
         the short-listed or ‘promoted management options’ for further consideration. This qualitative
         assessment was based on the criteria summarised in Table 4-2 with the options and rapid
         assessment results summarised in Table 4-3.

         A ‘traffic light’ colour system was used to assess the option against each criterion, as either:

         • GO;

         • SLOW, and proceed with caution; or

         • STOP.

         The criteria used were not weighted, meaning that each has an equal influence on the overall score
         for each option assessed. Options with a positive overall were shortlisted and then subjected to a
         more detailed analysis which is presented in Section 4.3.
