Access verdict · Lawful, nothing to flag · weakest evidence in the chain: official spatial record

Public land — inside Noosa National Park. A published track reaches it.

What this place is A definition, then the record

A point — land reaching into the water, or the tip of it — the register uses the word for headlands, spits and rocky ends alike. It names one coordinate and records nothing about what surrounds it, so whether the last of a point can be walked, and whether the sea reaches it, are not things read off this record.

No watercourse the register names runs within range of Dolphin Point. 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 inside Noosa National Park, designated National Park. Official spatial — evidence class

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

The rock at the surface is sandstone and mudstone, mapped as Tiaro Coal Measures (Jdt) , early jurassic - middle jurassic in age. The survey describes it as: Lithofeldspathic labile and sublabile to quartzose sandstone, siltstone, shale, coal, ferruginous oolite marker Official spatial — evidence class

The register maps 2 ecosystems over this ground, each with the share of it the register states.

Where it is

Map

Map of Dolphin Point and the starts of the 5 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.

The way reaches this place Official spatial — evidence class

Coastal Walk passes 37 m from the recorded point. There is 5 m of climb or drop between the two, read at a 5.0 m contour interval.

Both gaps are small enough that the way is a way to this place, not merely one near it.

Approaches — one page each 5 published of 41 computed

41 ways in were computed and 5 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.
