Minor Change Report

CONCLUSION


The proposed amendments are a minor change, satisfying the requirements of the Noosa Plan’s
watercourse works code and existing approval conditions. If Noosa Council were to refuse the
change and force the jetty to be rectified, it would serve a great cost to the operator and the
community by impeding the services that rely upon it for no significant benefit. In this regard the
following grounds for approval are recommended:

-      The works are contained within the lease boundary,

-      The vessels associated with the marine facility are berthed within the lease boundary, other
       vessels that use the site are only temporarily docked on the outer pontoon and not left
       unattended by the skipper of that vessel.

-      The jetty will maintain a high level of visual amenity when viewed from the river or the
       foreshore.

-      The minor change will not cause cluttering of the waterways.

-      The minor change will not result in additional or excessive traffic volumes within the
       foreshore.



We are more than happy to facilitate a meeting with Council officers onsite to see the operations
and temporary mooring that occurs and that the works are contained within the lease boundary.

We request that Noosa Council approve the minor change application.
