Noosa Parkland Park Management Plan
almost 8 years agoPlease have your say about the Draft Noosa Parkland Park Management Planrobmidover 7 years agoWooroi Creek blockages divert water into Heritage Park
Why does the hydrology report not mention that there are several large blockages in Wooroi Creek that divert storm water into the park and and make paths impassable? A highly visible blockage on the bend opposite the billabong diverts a large amount of water across the footpath into the lagoon after heavy rain. Blockages downstream from the bridge at the Griffith Avenue entrance cause water into the overflow channel unnecessarily and residents have to remove their shoes to reach the bus stop after medium rainfall.

It appears that $60,000 has been allocated to a new bridge and pathway in a low traffic area in the southern end of the park when there are existing paths and bridges that badly need work to allow access to the park after reasonably heavy rain. Wouldn't it be more logical to start clearing the lagoon of Salvinia Molesta which is a Class 2 weed first, fix slippery paths, raise paths in areas that now flood more frequently due to the creek beds being naturally higher because of fallen palm fronds, before spending money on a new pathway, entrance signs and environmental signs telling visitors how valued the park is to the community. If visitors from the UN came to Noosa to see our wonderful environment would they be shown the lagoon full of Salvinia?

There are a number of pathways leading to the park that regularly become inaccessible for days during/following prolonged heavy rain events. The main problems are just before the bridge on the main access pathway at the Griffith Avenue entrance, 2 sections of the pathway linking the dog exercise area with Caddy Close and Greenway Court, and a low lying section of the pathway near the billabong. The section of the pathway between the first 2 bridges on leaving the dog park area on the pathway leading to Caddy Close and Greenway Court entrances/exits is the worst and usually remains inaccessible for long periods after prolonged/heavy rain. In the past, this section of the pathway on occasions has remained under water for weeks.The other area on this pathway which often remains inaccessible for a number of days is adjacent to the bridge near the Caddy Close entrance/exit. These problems have become worse over the years due to the build up of fallen trees, debris and palm tree fronds along the waterways impeding and slowing the water flow. As it would seem that nothing is to be done about clearing the waterways, it would be good if Council could do something about raising the height of the pathways at the problem spots.
2david.heitmannover 7 years agoRemoval of fallen trees and branches
Following severe storms and other windy weather events, there is usually quite a lot of trees and branches that have been blown down in the park's recreation areas. It seems that unless and until a service request is submitted to Council, no action is taken by Council to remove the fallen debris. The mowing contractors simply mow around the debris if it is too large to mow over it. Why can't Council be proactive and carry out prompt inspections of parks following such events?
4Albatrossover 7 years agoHow lucky are we?
Please appreciate the beautiful park we are lucky enough to have. Remnant rainforest, koalas, majestic eucalypts, melaleucas and not a flying fox in sight, how lucky are we? Please think, if Heritage Park wasn't a flood plain there would be no park, it would all be houses like the rest of the estate.
