OPW14/0307 - Application for Prescribed Tidal Works

    2. The Prescribed Tidal Work is designed and constructed in a way to ensure it
       is structurally sound;
       The plans for the works have been designed and certified by a Registered
       Professional Engineer who specialises in Marina Design.

    3. The Prescribed Tidal Work is safe for use;
       The plans for the works have been designed and certified by a Registered
       Professional Engineer who specialises in Marina Design.

    4. The Prescribed Tidal Work is adequately serviced with infrastructure,
       including, for example, infrastructure for supply of water or the discharge of
       sewerage;
       The proposed works relate to the replacement of a section of jetty with a new
       section of jetty and mooring facilities. There is to be no change to the
       infrastructure that currently services the existing facilities.

    5. The Prescribed Tidal Work involves only minimal use of tidal water in a
       canal, for a non-maritime purpose;
       This criterion is not applicable to this application.

      6. The Prescribed Tidal Work does not cause a significant adverse affect to any
         of the following -
(i) existing public access to any foreshores or any tidal water;
(ii) navigable access to, or navigable egress from, any non-tidal work lot;
(iii) the natural features of any tidal water, including, for example, the water quality
and bed and banks of the tidal water;
(iv) the structural integrity, operation or maintenance of any existing structure.

The proposed works represent a berthing rearrangement within the boundaries of a
commercial lease area on the Noosa River foreshore. The works propose the
replacement of a section of an existing jetty with a new modern jetty structure. The
works will address maintenance issues as well as improve the safety and efficiency
of mooring and vessel movements within the lease area. The proposed jetty
refurbishment is located on the river side of the existing structure. The works will
have no effect on existing public access to the foreshore or the river as they are
located on the river side of the existing jetty and contained entirely within the existing
lease boundaries. Local navigation on the river will not be affected. There will be no
impact on the river bank and the only impact on the river bed will relate to the
placement of four piles. The works have been designed and certified by a registered
professional engineer.
