    Dear Sir

   Operational Work, Prescribed Tidal Works - Request for comments
   Jetty - Grant, 45 Witta Circle, Noosa Heads (Lot 111 N.218.45)

    Thank you for your letter of 16 November 2010 about your proposal to construct a jetty at the
    location mentioned above.

    As a concurrence agency, Maritime Safety Queensland has no objection to the proposal provided the
    following navigation and marine safety conditions are complied with.


    1.   The contractor must build the jetty according to JNA, Drawing no: 10/147-1, attached to your
          letter dated 16 November 2010.


    2.   No part of the structure or any ship berthed at this structure is to come closer than I.5metres from
         the side boundaries of the allocated water space as shown on the submitted water allocation plan.


    3.   The jetty and all freestanding piles must be lit and clearly visible to approaching vessels. The
          contractor must position all lighting so it does not cause a risk to the safe navigation of other
          vessels.

    4.   The applicant or his agent is responsible for the removal of any existing structure above or below
         the waterline, and must contain and remove any debris. Any pile that needs to be removed must
         be totally extracted.


    5.   The ship moored at this pontoon must follow the most direct course from this structure to open
          waters and a similar direct course when returning to this pontoon. The owner is to ensure that
          the ship berthed at this structure must maintain sufficient under keel clearance at all stages of
          tide. The ship must comply with any local restrictions placed on channel depths and draft
          restrictions.
