Title'City-Dwellers can find their place in the sun'. Report by Rob Dingle on Noosa Sound Development, December 1973Additional InformationThe State Government development lease for the area now known as Noosa Sound commenced on January 1. It had been initiated by Cr. Edgar Bennett who mooted already in 1946 the canal development of Hay's and other islands in the Noosa Estuary. Engineering plans for the first 134 lots were ready in July 1972. Dredging started a month after that. Next a concrete retaining wall was constructed around the island followed by a bridge to the Spit near Hastings Street. The development was officially opened in December 1973. In 1974 the bridge across Weyba Creek to Munna Point was built.CreatorRob DingleDateDecember 1973Image NoT2003525|T2003526|T2003527
