                          encroachment policy is about. Not sure how it is relevant to the CHAP which is where this plan is supposed to be driven
                          from. If it is about illegal structures on the foreshore by all means use the existing council laws to remove them."
General                   "There is so much delay with these strategies. This is all talk and development and not taking action on immediate
                          threats."

                          "Relate the encroachment targets with the local town plan & its objectives."


7.11. Action area 7: Public access and recreation
Respondents were asked to provide a written response on whether there was anything missing or overlooked in the proposed actions for public
access and recreation.

Of the 204 people who took part in the survey, 79 provided a response to this question (38.7%).

   •   64 (81%) of these responses related to the climate change action area, and 15 related to other action areas
   •   There were an additional 23 responses shared across other action areas that related to public access and recreation

Relevant responses were analysed to identify the below key themes:

 Theme                    Key comments include:
 Infrastructure /         “User facilities should be common across all access points where viable eg showers."
 signage
                          “Yes and signage ocean side on dunes to make people aware they should not be on the dunes (or their animals) during
                          November to May for turtle nesting season and fines do apply for failing to comply. The beach access signage is helpful
                          but no one reads them - they must be signs on the dunes ocean side to deter them from walking through the access and
                          straight up onto the dunes or from the beach up to the dunes.”
 Access                   “I do hope that the review of existing beach accesses will result in a decision to remove the spaced wooden slats which
                          were installed by Noosa Council to accesses 60 to 67 when South Peregian was transferred from Maroochy Council.
                          These wooden slats are difficult to walk on, have caused minor foot injuries and have prevented access to the beach. They
                          perform no useful purpose and pose an injury threat and should be removed."
