NOOSAVILLE FORESHORE INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT PLAN AND OUTSOURCING
EFFECTIVENESS REVIEW

That Council:
A.  Request the CEO to provide a report on the process followed for the Noosaville
    Foreshore Infrastructure Management Plan, which includes an overview of the
    procurement process, identification of risks, reasons for any scope changes or
    variations, and details on resources utilized (staff, consultants, contractors). The report
    should also cover industry benchmarking and key lessons learned, demonstrating the
    effectiveness of the approach taken in developing the masterplan.

B.  As part of the 2025/26 Budget development, Council receives a report in 2025 on the
    feasibility, scope, and resourcing required to establish a framework for reviewing the
    effectiveness of outsourcing arrangements (contractors, consultancies, etc.). This
    framework should assess key contracts and consultancies across areas such as value
    for money, service levels, procurement and contracting practices, and internal versus
    external resourcing. The framework should align with the Council’s Long Term Financial
    Plan, the upcoming Revenue Diversification and Optimisation Plan, and the principles
    outlined in the Financial Sustainability Policy.
