Tallebudgera Creek

Lawful route — caveats lawful, with something that needs saying first

Gazetted name -28.09583, 153.46000 watercourse

Access verdict · Lawful, with caveats · weakest evidence in the chain: statutory inference

Public land. No published track reaches it — the lawful ground to it is a chain of parcels.

Being at this point is lawful on the records below. Getting there is a separate question, answered route by route — and each route carries its own verdict and its own caveats.

What this place is A definition, then the record

A watercourse — the channel a creek or river runs in, named at one coordinate along a length that may run for kilometres. Whether there is water in it is not recorded, and neither is whether its bed may be walked — that is a question about the land the channel crosses, answered on this site by the tenure chain rather than by the name.

No watercourse the register names runs within range of Tallebudgera Creek. The layer maps far more creeks than it has ever named, so that is a gap in the record rather than dry ground.

The point falls outside every protected-area estate in the snapshot.

The point falls outside every World Heritage property the state maps.

The rock at the surface is unconsolidated sediment, mapped as Qhec-QLD (Qhec) , holocene in age. The survey describes it as: Sandy mud, muddy sand, minor gravel; estuarine channels Official spatial — evidence class

The remnant vegetation mapping records no ecosystem over this point. That covers remnant vegetation only, so it is what the register says about ground that has been cleared, or is water, sand or rock — not a statement that nothing grows here.

Where it is

Map

Map of Tallebudgera Creek and the starts of the 7 published approaches to it, over the parcels, corridors, estate and tracks around them.

Every figure the map would draw — parcel references, distances, bearings and the crossing gap — is written out in full on this page, so nothing is only visible on the map. If the map does not load, nothing has been lost.

Is there a track to it Measured in plan and in section

The way stops short of this place Official spatial — evidence class

Oceanview Track passes 103 m from the recorded point. The gap crosses no contour, which is as level as this layer can evidence — not a survey saying the ground is flat.

The way passes further off than anything the record can call a way to this place — or, where being above or below a feature is no answer at all, it is on the wrong level of it. Two measurements are used rather than one precisely so neither distance nor height can settle this on its own. Nothing here says how to close the remaining gap: no authority has surveyed a way across it, and a bearing off the end of a track is exactly the guess this site refuses to make.

Approaches — one page each 7 published of 148 computed

148 ways in were computed and 7 are published here. The rest either reach the same ground from a few hundred metres away — the same drive and the same walk — or reach no lawful chain at all, which is only worth saying when nothing else does.
