              Dear Mr Lewis,

                                     RE: Proposed Pontoon & Gangway
                                     1 Quamby Place, Noosa Heads
                                     Lot 0 on BUP 4192
                                     (6132 Sun Lagoon CTS 10991)

                                     Yr Ref: OPW 11/0121

              In response to your recent Information request we advise the following -

              The attached aerial photographs clearly show that the proposed pontoon will not
              hinder access to any nearby public areas and Maritime Safety Queensland have
              approved the pontoon as proposed. We imagine that most Sunshine Coast
              residents access the parks from the road rather than the water. Clearly none of
              the public areas are likely to obtain a pontoon so in effect this basin is limited to
              the existing mini marina and this property.

              We obviously do not have access to information regarding either authorised or
              unauthorised moorings in the vicinity but Council could obtain this information
              from Maritime Safety. As MSQ have the responsibility under PTW legislation in
              respect of navigational issues, we assume that they reviewed this information
              prior to issuing their Concurrence for this application to ensure that the proposed
              pontoon would not hinder any existing and authorised moorings.

             The aerial photos also clearly show that there is insufficient water at the existing
             location, hence the MSQ approved extension of the proposed pontoon.

             The proposed pontoon is at exactly the same orientation as the existing pontoon
             and whilst this does technically go outside the prolongation of the side boundary,
             you would be aware that in cul de sacs the prolongations are not always used.
             We are not privy to MSQ's rationale, but do point out that the mini marina in this
             basin is significantly outside the prolongation of the property to which it is
             attached.

                                                                          J bro..         1.0
