Ship operations and activities on the Maroochy River
Following investigations into the operations and activities of all types of vessels on the Maroochy River, Maritime Safety Queensland released a discussion paper to highlight and address a number of marine safety concerns. The community was invited to comment on the discussion paper.
Final report
Maritime Safety Queensland received a large number of comments and submissions in response to the discussion paper. A reference group of key stakeholders was formed to consider these comments and submissions with a view to produce a final report to the General Manager of Maritime Safety Queensland. The final report about ship operations and activities on the Maroochy River is now available.
