5.       CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
The proposal seeks to upgrade existing infrastructure within the existing lease area which will
ensure the vessels are moored in an orderly way than what currently occurs. Although there is a
proposed net increase of pontoons within the existing lease area which increases site cover within
the lease area, the proposal can be conditioned to comply with the Purpose and overall outcomes
of the Waterways Works Code and the Performance outcomes of the Noosaville Local Plan Code
and Recreation and Open Space Zone code.
Accordingly, the proposal is recommended for approval.
