ORDINARY MEETING                                                               17 AUGUST 2023


11.1 BRIAN O'CONNOR
      Topic: Pomona Placemaking

Question 1.
At its meeting on 16 February 2023, Noosa Council endorsed Pomona to be the location of a pilot
Placemaking Plan; the strategy to be rolled out eventually across the Shire. Seven months on, can
Noosa Council provide an update on progress being made around placemaking at Pomona?

Question 2.
Noosa Council recently nominated Pomona as a ‘Great Place’ under the South-East Queensland
Regional Plan. The Noosa Plan 2020 acknowledges Pomona as Noosa Shire’s ‘Living Heritage
Town’ and the Noosa Biosphere Trails Masterplan identifies Pomona as the ‘hub town’ for the trail
network. These designations seek various practical and tangible outcomes that, ideally, should
complement each other. How will this occur beneath the umbrella of a Pomona Placemaking Plan?
