The boat ramp at Thomas Street, Noosaville sits on the Noosa River and has been identified as a priority project by Maritime Safety Queensland (MSQ) following its Recreational Boating Facilities Demand Forecasting Study 2022.

That study flagged the site, along with several other Noosa region ramps, as requiring upgrades to meet recreational boating demand.

Funding for improvements has been a subject of local advocacy, with state government and MSQ — the body responsible for boating infrastructure — identified as key sources of support.

The ramp gained further attention during the lead-up to the October 2024 state election, when funding commitments were raised as a campaign issue for the seat of Noosa.
