                                                               has a maximum width of 1.5 metres; and

                                                       AO13.7
                                                       In Noosa Sound, where quaylines are set, a jetty or
                                                       pontoon does not extend into the watercourse beyond the
                                                       quayline;

                                                       OR
                                                       AO13.8
                                                       Where no quaylines are set, the maximum distance a jetty
                                                       or pontoon extends into the watercourse is 10m, unless it
                                                       can be demonstrated that a distance in excess of 10m is
                                                       essential to safely access a vessel from the jetty.

                                                       Editor’s Note— The quayline is measured from real property boundary
                                                       except where a relevant State Government Authority permits the
                                                       measurement from High Water Mean Springtide.
                                                    AO13.9
                                                    All attachments to jetties, including but not limited to boat
                                                    lifts, jetski cradles, floating berths and floating pontoons
                                                    are located within the quay line.
                                                    AO13.10
                                                    Pontoons are structurally capable of sitting on the sand
                                                    bed. Rollers and bracing should account for this situation.
                                                    AO13.11
                                                    Jetties and pontoons are free standing and do not rely on
                                                    connecting to any revetment wall or other structure.
