Maritime Safety Queensland Recreational Boating Facilities Demand Forecast Study 2022

Sure. Thank you, this is a joint report, both with environment and infrastructure. The report provides an overview of the recreational boating facilities demand forecast study 2022, 2022, which was commissioned by the Maritime Safety Queensland, a branch of TMR. The study identifies the latent demands for boat launching facilities on the Noosa River and recommends a number of priorities. Study looks at an increasing number of boat ramps and parking. However, there's a concern that it doesn't take the regional approach and there's lack of consideration of contemporary parking and river management demands and the increase of capacity on the river, what these impacts will be. The study identifies seven priority projects in a detailed assessment and recommendations are included which Council has developed in consultation with workshops and with the Councillors. Six projects have merit and should have further consideration and require an extensive redesign due to the quality of the impacts on the river and it's recommended that the priority one project Chaplin Park be rejected due to its inconsistent use with the foreshore land it management plan and the impacts on the park lands and the community expectations Amy did you want to add anything as a summary thank you.
