This was front page news in the Bundaberg rag two days ago. A 318 berth marina in the Burnett Heads basin.

Anybody who knows the basin well will say "It ain't gonna happen!!"

The max depth in the basin is only about 2 m and under the metre of mud slop I am told is a sheet of bed rock that slopes away under the river.

The shore side development is entirely possible but the marina will not look anything like the artist's impression on their web site. The basin is just not big enough.
