2.1   Site Location

The subject site is located at 21 Wesley Court, Noosa Heads 4567 QLD and is apart of the Noosa Sound
canal estate (Figure 2). As illustrated in the below aerial photograph, the site is located at the entrance of
a canal cul-de-sac. Vessels and watercraft navigating pass the jetty would ordinarily be those that are
moored/stored at the residences located within the cul-de-sac. Vessels and watercraft exploring the
Noosa River and estuaries would typically take alternative routes and not utilise the canal which is
bordered by private residences.
