The proposed change to the jetty does not impact upon vessels and craft travelling within the Noosa River.
Watercraft travelling to and from Lake Weyba and surrounds generally utilise the primary path and
entrance located adjacent to Noosa River Campground (Path 1), as represented in Figure 3 below. A
secondary path to access the upper estuaries of Lake Weyba is via Noosa Sound/Hasting Street entrance
(Path 2).

the speed is limited to 6 knots within the canal, there are at times instances where a considerable wash is
