Dioxins, which can also be formed by natural processes, were found in all sediment testing sites at levels that have not raised officials’ concerns to date.
The report said Queensland Health believed eating fish from the Noosa area “is unlikely to result in an unacceptable risk to public health” for recreational fishers and advises against issuing public advice on the safe levels of local seafood consumption.
However further studies are planned for the local commercial fisheries with the report saying these dioxin levels were also not expected to be of concern.
Mr Alexander, 47, who is based at Tin Can Bay but chases the mullet run usually around the mouth of the Noosa River and north shore, was unaware of the ongoing investigation.
The Noosa Everglades is just about unmatched in the world for its mirror image beauty. Our submission highlights why Noosa is one of Australia s favourite holiday destinations, where coastal, river and hinterland villages welcome visitors with superb beaches, pristine waterways, outdoor adventure, fresh cuisine and a community passionate about protecting this natural wonderland. It is also exciting to see our neighbours of Eumundi and Rainbow Beach are also finalists in the Small Tourism Towns Awards. Ms Anderson said the QTIC awards aimed to recognise and reward towns that offer amazing visitor experiences, where tourism operators, businesses and the local community work together to make their town the best destination.
An Australian Securities and Investment Commission company search showed Camtegan was headed by Stephen Francis Cole of Cotton Tree. Mr Cole s planning report, now being assessed by council staff, said the complex would come with solar panels to power the units and a communal pool area. The proposed eco-friendly unit complex proposed for Noosa Junction. The three-storey complex will be a mix of three-bedroom units and two-bedroom units which will be designed to comply with the council s sustainable building design code. The proposal will have an attractive landscape setting that will make a positive contribution to the streetscape of Bottlebrush Avenue, the planning report said.
Audit items were sorted from 15 bags collected by the Tewantin Bushcare Group, Tewantin State School students and catchment association river rangers at the Tewantin boat ramp. Almost 60 per cent of the 1376 waste items were plastic and most were small enough to be washed or blown into waterways for possible ingestion by aquatic animals. More than 30 per cent of all items were soft plastic bags. A lot of waste needs to be cleaned up before Noosa can claim to be plastic free. The boat ramp rubbish audit will be happening again next week, according to catchment association site co-ordinator Peter Hunnam.
