Noosaville to Receive New Sand

A sand replenishment project along sections of the Noosa River foreshore is going to start from Monday, April 27th 2015, reported today the Council.

Coastal and Foreshores Technical Officer David Shing said that a 30m exclusion zone will be applied to all vessels around the dredging equipment operating in the waterway. A dredge will pump sand from the River to the foreshore.

“This maintenance work will repair sections of the Noosaville foreshore that have eroded over time from currents, tides and boat wash,” Mr Shing said. “There are no negative environmental impacts from the dredging work and all approvals for the work are in place.”

According to Mr Shing, the project will replenish sand at five main areas along the foreshore: Munna Point, the area near T Boat Hire, the foreshore near Pirate Playground, the area near the Yacht Club and the shoreline between the Thomas Street boat ramp and the slipway,

The complete project should be finished within two months.
