Sandy joined the Noosa Boating and Fisheries Patrol (QBFP) team to finally open their new Boat Shed earlier this week, with Minister Mark Furner and Director General Graeme Bolton in attendance.
With the original building established in the 1960s, the Noosa QBFP Boat Shed services a wide geographical catchment from Kauri Creek in the Great Sandy Strait, south to Peregian Beach and west to Gympie and Imbil. It presently accommodates five (5) Noosa based departmental officers along with various operational vehicles and vessels. These staff include one (1) District Fisheries Officer, three (3) Fisheries Officers and one (1) Administration Officer.
Sandy said the following in a recent media statement regarding:
It has been a journey, however we got there! This ‘amended’ new shed will assist our fisheries staff with their existing operations, including conducting boating safety inspections on behalf of Maritime Safety Queensland (MSQ) on our Noosa River.
Thank you to the Minister for agreeing to make amendments to the building to address community concerns and the Noosa Plan. This has been greatly appreciated by residents, and it is excellent to see it finally open and operational.
Gratitude to all including our teams from Fisheries Queensland and residents for their patience.
