Okay, welcome back. Before we proceed to the next item, I do wish to just clarify an element that came up in the last debate when it inquired about whether the Director had seen the amendments. He did mention that he had seen the one from me, but it wasn't to infer that other councils had seen it. Was something that I had put to him, and it was only one minute before the meeting when I realised that it hadn't been circulated. That was just because of a timing issue that I was responding to. We move on to item three in section seven, and that's the Noosa River Recreational Boating Facilities update, and we have the Director of the infrastructure, Shaun Walsh, here to give us an overview.

Good afternoon, Councillors. This report provides an update on the progress of recreational boating facilities in the Noosa River. In response to the Maritime Safety Queensland recreational boating facilities demand forecast date from 2022. Progress, although limited, has been made on defining scope at three facilities, including the Noosa Woods jetty, the Noosaville Boat Ramp, Hilton Esplanade, Tewantin and Doonella Bridge boat ramp. In addition, Council has been advised that funding is likely to be made available by Maritime Safety Queensland for recreational boating facilities on the Noosa River in the near future. And I'd like to actually throw to the CEO for an update on recent conversations with the general manager for Maritime Safety Queensland on status the of that funding. Fund.
