GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES                                                  12 JUNE 2023


            That Council note the report by the Principal Environment Officer and the
            Infrastructure Planning Co-ordinator to the Services and Organisation Committee
            Meeting dated 6 June 2023 and:
                A. Note its appreciation for MSQ / DTMR in commissioning the investigation to
                    respond to increasing demand for recreational boating facilities
                B. Raise concerns for the lack of a regional approach to planning for boat
                    launching facilities, particularly when the Noosa River system is a relatively
                    small system compared to other regional water bodies and may not have the
                    capacity to accommodate statistical growth
                C. Seek discussions about increased funding from MSQ / DTMR to fund on-
                    shore components of the boat ramp facilities
                D. Welcome further discussions between MSQ and Council to support expedient
                    placement of the Noosa Woods Pontoon, Gympie Terrace Noosaville
                    Pontoon and Lake Street Tewantin Pontoon to assist in improving boating
                    access to the Noosa River
                E. Welcome initiation of planning processes jointly with MSQ and TMR to
                    upgrade facilities at Albert / Thomas Steet (Noosaville) Boat Ramp, Hilton
                    Esplanade (Tewantin) Boat Ramp, Lake Street (Tewantin) Boat Ramp
                    and Moorindil Street (Tewantin) Boat Ramp but raise concerns for the
                    unrealistic increase in car and trailer carparking capacity indicated in the
                    Noosa Recreational Boating Facilities Demand Forecasting Study due to
                    traffic, landscape and environmental impact
                F. Reject the proposed facility at Chaplin Park due to planning, tenure and
                    character impacts on the park
                G. Note that Council is proposing to initiate a Parking Study in FY23/24 that will
                    include examination of car and trailer parking at and near to boat ramps to
                    examine additional measures to manage capacity through contemporary
                    parking demand management techniques, and that the outcomes of this
                    study should inform any consideration of future boat ramps.
                                                                             Carried Unanimously.


            The meeting adjourned at 2.34pm.
            The meeting resumed at 2.47pm.
