RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Manager Waste and Environmental Health to the Services &
Organisation Committee Meeting dated 11 July 2017 regarding a proposal by Boomerang
Alliance to implement a community led project for a Plastic Free Noosa and in response to the
proposal from Boomerang Alliance, Council agree to:
A. Support Boomerang Alliance in their project to reduce plastic in the Noosa environment
through a “Plastic Free Noosa” program;
B. Provide a letter of support to accompany their application for a government grant to assist
with funding the project; and
C. Inform Boomerang Alliance that the Council’s participation will be limited in the initial six
months of the program as Council’s resources are involved in the implementation of a new
waste management contract and the roll out of the Garden Waste Recycling Service from 1
September 2017.
REPORT
1. Purpose of this report
This report presents a proposal by Boomerang Alliance to conduct a pilot community led project
called “Plastic free Noosa” and the support they are seeking from Council.
2. Background
Boomerang Alliance has approached Council requesting support for their proposal to implement
a community led initiative to reduce the use of plastic within the Noosa area. This initiative is
proposed to commence in July this year and will be used as a pilot program for the expansion of
a plastic free community in other local government areas.
Boomerang Alliance intends to facilitate the bringing together of key agencies and community
organisations to implement this plan. However, they believe that its real value is in the Noosa
community taking control itself through a targeted and strategic plan to reduce Noosa’s plastic
footprint.
They propose to apply for a government grant to assist them in this project and funding for the
pilot project and are seeking a letter of support from Council to accompany their grant application
which confirms Council’s support for the project.

SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 11 JULY 2017
3. Impacts of plastic in the environment
Plastic has become an increasingly prevalent pollutant in our oceans and has been the subject of
recent media coverage as an issue of major concern. Reducing its use will create a cleaner and
less littered Noosa, an enhanced reputation as a tourist destination and more aware and prouder
community.
The plastic items planned to be targeted by the Boomerang Alliance are often found in the
environment as litter which do not break down readily and persist for long periods of time. Many
of these items end up in local waterways and the ocean leading to ingestion by aquatic animals,
which can result in increased mortality of species such as turtles and fish.
4. Community led project
Boomerang Alliance has shared its proposal with the following organisations, who have
expressed interest in participation: Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation, Noosa Community
Biosphere Association Inc., Tourism Noosa, Boomerang Bags, Surfrider Sunshine Coast,
Sunshine Coast Environment Council, University of Sunshine Coast, ZEN Waste, Noosa
Chamber of Commerce, Coast Care and Sunshine Coast Environment Educators’ Alliance
5. Objectives of the Plastic Free Noosa plan
The proposed plan aims to focus on a list of identified disposable plastic items that includes
coffee cups/lids, straws, takeaway containers, single-use water bottles, plastic bags and utensils
and promotes alternative practices to their use. Many of these items are not recyclable. When
disposed to landfill they do not break down easily. It would be preferable if the items were
replaced by compostable products that can either be recycled, composted or will break down and
disintegrate in landfill.
The intention is to encourage practices that use alternative products to plastic, be adopted at
cafes, restaurants and food vendors, in retail outlets and at markets, festivals, fetes and events in
Noosa. Individuals will also be encouraged to take up the plastic reduction challenge.
The Alliance believes that as a leader of the community, Council can through its support for the
plan, provide the essential impetus to motivate and assist with the coordination of the plan and its
implementation.
In this context it is worth noting that Council’s decision to purchase compostable doggie bags
commencing in the 2017/18 financial year will reduce the number of plastic bags used in Noosa
by 1.2 million bags.
6. Requested support from Council
Boomerang Alliance seek the following support from Council support for their initiative including:
1. Participation in development of a formal implementation plan and schedule of activities;
2. Agreement to join and staff to participate in a Coordination Group by attending meetings;
3. Promotion of the plan to stakeholders and public, including a media launch;
4. Delivery of any agreed actions and funding towards implementing the plan.

Finance & Risk
The proposal is for Noosa Council to provide support and endorsement for Boomerang Alliance
to conduct a one year “plastic free” project in Noosa in conjunction with other community groups
and businesses.
Council’s financial exposure will be limited to promoting the plastic free program in its waste
recycling and waste reduction literature, web site information, assisting with brochures and
attending consultative meetings of business and interested groups. These initiatives are within
the current objectives of the waste management branch and budget impacts can be absorbed in
the waste education program.

RE: A Proposal for a Plastic Free* Noosa Plan
*As identified in a Responsible Plastics Guide (Noosa)
Dear Tony,
Further to our conversation, the Boomerang Alliance would like to submit a proposal to Noosa Council to
support a community-led plan to make Noosa a Plastic Free Community. *
Whilst the Boomerang Alliance is submitting this proposal, we have been in negotiation with a number of
key agencies and community organisations in Noosa. The proposal seeks Council support for a project that
will be community-led, through an alliance of organisations, including Noosa Council. Our proposal seeks
the involvement of all these key agencies and organisations in this plastic-free plan for Noosa.
The Boomerang Alliance intends to be a participant in the coordination and implementation of this plan.
However, we believe that its real value is in the Noosa community taking control itself through a targeted
and strategic plan to reduce Noosa’s plastic footprint.
We would be grateful if you could seek the endorsement of Council for this as soon as possible.
Our proposal seeks Council support for a plastic free plan involving local business, key agencies,
market/festivals and community organisations that will reduce Noosa’s plastic footprint, clean its
environment and demonstrate to other communities how to achieve such an outcome.
In a nutshell, the proposed plan aims to focus on a list of identified disposable plastic items that includes
coffee cups/lids, straws, takeaway containers, utensils, single-use water bottles, plastic bags and utensils
and promote alternative practices to their use. *
Our intention is to have those practices adopted at cafes, restaurants and food vendors, in retail outlets
and at markets, festivals, fetes and events in Noosa. Individuals will also be encouraged to take up the
plastic reduction challenge.
The items we plan to target are problematic plastics that comprise a significant part of the litter and waste
stream, and lead to the growing problem of plastics in our environment, particularly the marine
environment. Reducing their use will create a cleaner and less littered Noosa, an enhanced reputation as a
tourist destination and more aware and prouder community.

We believe that, as the leader of the community, Council can, through its support for the plan, provide the
essential impetus to continue to progress, and then to motivate and assist with the coordination of the
plans implementation.
We wish to clarify that this is a draft plan which will only be confirmed through negotiation and agreement
with partner organisations, including Noosa Council.
With Council support and endorsement, the initiators of this proposal intend to establish a Coordination
Group of involved agencies to progress this plan. A key aim will also be to engage and involve other
organisations, businesses and individuals whose actions will contribute to the plan.
Decision We Seek from Council
1. Council support for this initiative, and agreement to join the Coordination Group
2. Participation/agreement in the formal plan design and schedule of activities
3. Promotion of the plan to stakeholders and public, including a public/media launch
4. Delivery of any agreed actions and funding towards the implementation and delivery of the plan
Our detailed proposal is attached.

A Proposal for a Plastic Free* Noosa Project
Why a Plastic Free Noosa Proposal?
Globally 95% of all plastic packaging is used once and then wasted, often as
litter. In its 2014 Marine Debris report in Australia, the CSIRO stated that, ‘two
thirds of the marine debris found along our coastline is plastic, most from local
sources.’
The National Litter Index (2015) has cited Queensland as the most littered state
in Australia.
The CSIRO has identified SEQ as a marine plastic debris hotspot. The region,
including Noosa, uses the coast and marine environment as key feature of its
unique identity.

Queensland is Changing
In 2017 both the State Government and the Queensland LNP took significant
steps towards addressing Queensland’s litter and plastic pollution problems.
Both have publicly backed a ban on lightweight plastic bags and the introduction
of a container deposit scheme in Queensland, starting in 2018. These are
recognised as the first steps in addressing plastic pollution of our environment.
The fact is that plastic litter in the environment is an eyesore, a pollutant, a
threat to wildlife and, according to recent reports, a potential threat to human
health.
Discarded beverage containers and plastic packaging represent a significant part
of the litter stream and contribute to an emerging plastic pollution problem,
particularly in the marine environment. The measures referred to, a CDS and
plastic bag ban, represent an opportunity to drastically reduce plastic and
container litter and to change community behaviour in respect to how wasted
materials are managed.
These measures will dramatically reduce plastic litter and act to build
community awareness about the dangers of plastic litter. The next step is to
address the many other forms of disposable plastics.
Our proposal is set in the context of these two measures being introduced in
2018 and furthering the agenda to include other plastic products that represent
a litter, waste and pollution problem. These plastic products include disposable
coffee cups, straws, takeaway containers and plastic utensils.
Our proposals centre on promoting better practices and alternatives on the use
of these items, with the community of Noosa taking control of plastics and
demonstrating to other Queensland communities how such changes could be
achieved.
Let’s Make a Difference
Many individuals, governments and businesses have become aware of the
plastic pollution problem and are changing habits and practices. However, what
we lack is a whole community taking a systematic approach to addressing
disposable plastic packaging litter/use, and showing others how this could be
done.

SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 11 JULY 2017
Why should Noosa should be that Community?
Noosa is an environmentally-aware aware community. Its political and
community leaders, Council, local businesses and citizens have all supported
efforts and acted to reduce their plastic packaging footprint. Noosa is the
perfect place to become a plastic-free* community, protect its environment,
enhance its reputation as a responsible and active environmentally-friendly
community and show others how this can be achieved.
The result will be a cleaner and less littered Noosa, an enhanced reputation as a
tourist destination a more aware and prouder community and a leader in
environmental stewardship.
The proposals could also assist Council to improve waste collection services,
creating new business opportunities and new generation resource management
infrastructure.
Our Proposals in Brief
¢ Acommunity initiative involving Council, local businesses (specifically
retail and hospitality), key agencies, markets and festivals, local media
and community organisations.
¢ Focused on promoting and adopting better practices and alternative
products to the use of disposable, non-biodegradable plastic items, often
found in litter and landfill. *
¢ The project will concentrate on adopting better practices in the hospitality
sector, making festivals, markets, fetes and events plastic free* and
encouraging individuals to reduce their own plastic footprint by changing
behaviour and choices.
¢ The initial pilot project would run for one year (ideally with a promoted
start in July 2017), with the option of being extended as a longer term
initiative that supports a plastic free agenda and Noosa Councils waste
reduction goals
¢ Promotional collateral will include shop signage and display, press
coverage, advertising and events, newsletters and community notices,
Page 10 of 51Section 11
SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 11 JULY 2017
Page 11 of 51
SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 11 JULY 2017
new guidelines for events, promotion at strategic events, stalls, word of
mouth. A website, a domain name plasticfreenoosa.com.au has been
secured.
e Its success will be measured by the amount of identified plastic items
removed from use (audit of participants’ procurement/audit of wastes
received) in Noosa, and the number of local businesses/agencies and
individuals who sign up as partners in the project.
¢ Areport onthe project will be produced to outline its outcomes. This will
include advice on what could not be achieved and recommendations on
potential next steps. It will contribute as a guide for others with advice for
stakeholders on future directions. (Please note: BA is also undertaking a
similar project in Wollongong, NSW)
*Plastic free refers to a list of disposable plastic items to be targeted only. This includes coffee
cups/lids, straws, takeaway containers, utensils, single-use water bottles, plastic bags and
utensils.
Who is Involved?
Agencies and organisations who have already expressed support and interest in
participation include: Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation, Noosa Community
Biosphere Association Inc., Tourism Noosa, Boomerang Bags, Surfrider Sunshine
Coast, Sunshine Coast Environment Council, University of Sunshine Coast, ZEN
Waste, Noosa Chamber of Commerce, Coastcare, Sunshine Coast Environment
Educators’ Alliance. Other organisations will be added as the plan progresses.
Noosa Council
Benefits
This proposal complements and supports Noosa Councils long term Towards
Zero Waste Strategy and directly assists the Waste Reduction and Recycling Plan
2016-24.
Disposable, single use plastic items, often a major component of litter and waste
sent to landfill, will be reduced. This will reduce Council litter collection and
clean-up services costs. It will assist to improve efficiencies at waste handling
and recycling facilities (reducing and simplifying the range of plastic packaging
presented at facilities will streamline operations)
Page 11 of 51Section 12
SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 11 JULY 2017
Page 12 of 51
SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 11 JULY 2017
However, it's real value is as a community-inspired program. Community leaders
from hospitality, retail, tourism, events, schools, environment and the not-for-
profit sectors will be active in promoting community waste reduction and
alternative practices. They will be establishing a new culture and behaviour
around plastic use and waste. Having an active community engaged and aligned
with Councils waste reduction ambitions, at a time of growing awareness and
concern about plastic pollution, is a perfect storm.
The results will directly assist Council in understanding community motives and
behaviour, providing services and meeting its future waste goals.
This opportunity will also exist during a time that a Container Deposit Scheme
and ban on single use plastic bags in Queensland will be introduced, a time that
will heighten community awareness about litter and alternative practices.
In addition, the proposal will provide valuable information and future strategic
advice to Council about the development of new and innovative solutions to
waste/resource management. An important goal is to reduce mixed waste to
landfill and improve the market for secondary resources. The challenge is always
to control the waste stream, provide effective collection and apply best practice
infrastructure, this proposal will be invaluable in this regard.
Involvement
As the key representative of the community, Council involvement is essential to
authenticate the project as a whole-of-community initiative. The participation of
Council represents the first step in the formal roll out of the plan. It signals, for
all stakeholders, the green light to participate.
With Council involvement, stakeholders can formally endorse a plan going
forward and confirm its activities. It is intended that this is an evolving plan
based upon specific goals, where the broad engagement of the Noosa
community will be built over the course of the plan. It will start with the early
adopters and through plan promotion and inspiring action will deliver outcomes
and maximise community involvement.
Council will play a vital role, with others, in promoting and coordinating and in
delivering specific tasks for the project success.

Draft Responsible Plastic Guide (Noosa)
The Plastic Free Noosa Plan has identified 6 disposable plastic items which are
regularly discarded as litter or waste. These littered or wasted items can be
addressed through changed practices and the use of readily available
alternatives. Most of these alternatives are price comparable with currently
used products.
Polystyrene cups and containers of any kind should be avoided and eliminated
from use. They are harmful in the environment and never likely to be recycled.
Better alternatives exist for these products.
est) Best Option — Reusable Alternative Options (preferably with collection
and processing services)
Plastic water bottle BYO/ reusable water bottle Recycle. Plastic bottles will have a 10 cent refund

SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 11 JULY 2017
Note on Takeaway Practices
The best option is always to use reusable plates, utensils and containers and is
always a preference to single use items. If single use products are used, the
preference is for organic/plant-based or certified compostable products. In most
cases, neither recyclable or compostable products are currently collected in
away from home situations, and end up in landfill. In this event, the
compostable products will at least degrade.
One outcome for the Plastic Free Noosa Plan will identify, is the urgent need for
better collection services and commercial composting facilities in the region for
these products.

RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Community Development Manager to the Services &
Organisation Committee Meeting dated 11 July 2017 on the Social Strategy Implementation Plan
after twelve (12) months of operation and
A. Request the Chief Executive Officer provide Council with an update and a revised action

REPORT
Background
The 2014/2015 Operational Plan identified the development of a Social Plan for Noosa Shire as a
key objective. A Noosa Social Strategy was adopted in December 2015 covering the period
2016- 2023 (The Social Strategy) which sets out Noosa’s aspirations and social priorities for the
next seven years.
The Social Strategy articulates four key themes which provide the focus for the Strategy’s key
initiatives and actions. They are:
Cohesive and resilient communities
Active and healthy communities
Accessible, diverse and affordable communities
Creative and informed communities.
When the Strategy was approved at the Ordinary meeting on 17 December 2015, Council
requested the Chief Executive Officer to develop an Implementation Plan detailing a three year
action plan to support the Social Strategy.
The Implementation Plan was prepared and presented to Council in July 2016. It is a whole of
Council plan but primary responsibility for its implementation rests with the Community
Development team.
Implementation Update highlights for 2016/2017
Delivery of the three year Social Strategy action plan is on track (refer Attachment 1 Noosa
Social Strategy Implementation Update 2016/2017).

RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Community Development Officer to the Services &
Organisation Committee Meeting dated 11 July 2017 and
A. Approve the “Draft Sport and Active Recreation Plan” provided at Attachment 1 to the
report for the purpose of community consultation; and
B. Request the Chief Executive Officer to collate and consider feedback received as part of
the consultation undertaken for further consideration of the Noosa Sport and Active
Recreation Plan by Council.
REPORT
Background
The 2016 Noosa Social Strategy recommended Council develop a Sport and Active Recreation
Plan (The Plan) in 2016/2017.
The Sport and Active Recreation Plan will be a guiding document for the ongoing development of
the sport and active recreation sector in the Noosa Shire. The Plan aims to provide an
understanding of the current position and potential for future development of the local sport and
active recreation sector including participation, facilities and service provision. It identifies the
providers of services and facilities to Noosa residents and actions to improve participation, facility
development and service provision.
The development of the Draft Sport and Active Recreation Plan was progressed through a Sport
and Active Recreation Community Reference Group.
Summary of the Draft Plan
Proposed Vision
The Draft Plan proposes the following vision:
“Increased opportunities for everyone to participate in sport and active recreation, so they can
achieve life-long physical and mental health benefits.”
Page 34 of 51
Section 35
SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 11 JULY 2017
Key Issues and Trends
The sport and active recreation sector is changing significantly in line with the changing physical
activity participation patterns of the population. While sports clubs are the main avenue for
children to engage with physical activity, structured, organised and competitive sports are less
important for adults, who prefer flexible, individualised experiences.
A Noosa Physical Activity Participation survey developed for the purpose of this Plan confirms
high rates of adult participation in informal activities such as swimming in natural
waterways/beaches, walking, cycling, mountain bike riding and bushwalking.
A review of formal organised sporting activities was conducted and identified the top 20
structured activities of Noosa residents, which identified gyms as having a higher membership
than any other activity or sport in Noosa (4584 members).
This change in participation has led to the evolution of a greater number of commercial operators
providing sport and recreation services and facilities to accommodate the needs of residents. An
assessment of the type of organisations providing these activities in the Shire shows that out of
144 organisations identified, 47.9% are not-for-profit clubs with commercial operators making up
44.4%.
In terms of facility ownership, 45.3% are commercially or privately owned with Council controlling
or managing only 33.7% of the 86 venues identified. This highlights a strong need for council to
work collaboratively with both not-for-profit and commercial providers of sport and recreation if
the best outcomes are to be achieved for the community.
A strong sentiment from the community consultations indicated a desire to prioritise broad
participation in physical activity across the Shire rather than resourcing elite athlete development,
high level facilities and events.
The Draft Plan reviews the existing sport and active recreation facilities and services available to
residents broken into:
Outdoor Sports
Indoor Sports
Aquatic Facilities
Schools
Skate Parks
National Parks
Beaches and Waterways
Cycle ways, Pathways and Trails Networks
Events.
Principles
The Draft Plan enunciates a set of principles which are intended to guide future sport and active
recreation planning for government, not for profit and commercial providers.
Principle 1 – Participation: Noosa’s priority is to provide for grass roots participation in a
wide variety of sport and active recreation activities.
Principle 2 – Quality outcomes: Our aim is for Not for Profit clubs and commercial operators to
have good governance practices and provide quality facilities. Our coaches,
instructors, administrators and trainers are suitably qualified for best practice
delivery of their sport or activity.
Principle 3 – Choice: Residents have choice over the activities they participate in and who
provides those activities to them. Our facilities and public spaces will encourage
formal and informal physical activity catering for a wide range of ages, abilities and
interests.
Page 35 of 51
Section 36
SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 11 JULY 2017
Principle 4 – Efficiency: Encourage effective and efficient use of resources through coordination
and collaboration of NFP, commercial and government providers.
Principle 5 – Environmentally Responsible: All providers of sport and active recreation facilities
aim to achieve best practice use of natural resources and technologies to minimise
the impact on our environment.
Furthermore, the Draft Plan proposes targets to achieve the vision.
Life-long participation
Best practice of delivery of sport
Choice of facilities and services
Efficient use of spaces and facilities
Environmentally responsible management practices
Proposed recommendations are included in the Draft Plan and are intended as points for public
discussion and feedback before being consolidated into a Final Plan which will articulate specific
actions and timeframes for implementation of the recommendations.
Proposed Consultation on Draft Plan
The Draft Plan will be made available for public exhibition and comment for a period of 30
business days. Community engagement on the Draft Plan will include:
A launch of the Draft Plan at Noosa Springs Resort with invitations sent to all Noosa based
sport and active recreation not for profit and commercial providers, peak regional and state
sporting bodies and Department of National Parks Sport and Racing representatives
(including QPWS);
Media release;
Council’s webpage listing;
Community and stakeholder feedback via ‘Your Say Noosa’, Library and Council Pop Ups
and Community Connections e-newsletter (targeting not for profit organisations in the
Shire);
Further meetings with the relevant State and Federal agencies to obtain their feedback
Continued engagement with service providers and targeted stakeholders throughout the
Shire to refine the key recommendations and develop a detailed action plan.
Finalisation of the Plan
Feedback and advice received by Council within the specified consultation period, will be
collated, reviewed and provided to relevant stakeholders (including the Sport and Active
Recreation Plan Community Reference Group) for consideration prior to the development of the
Final Plan.
Once the Plan has been finalised Council Officers will develop a 3 year action plan and then
present both the Plan and the action plan for Council’s endorsement.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Not applicable
RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Director Community Services to the Services & Organisation
Committee Meeting dated 11 July 2017 and agree to formally support the motion passed at the
2016 Australian Local Government Association’s Assembly that called on:
“the Federal Government and the Federal Parliament to treat with dignity and respect all
members of the community regardless of gender or sexuality by supporting changes to the
marriage act to achieve marriage equality for same sex couples.”
REPORT
Background
Equality and freedom from discrimination are fundamental human rights.
On 1 August 2013, the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 was amended to make discrimination on the
basis of a person’s sexual orientation, gender identity and intersex status against the law.
Despite this important step forward many lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and intersex (LGBTI)
people in Australia still experience discrimination and harassment in their everyday life.
For many members of the LGBTI community, marriage equality is the next important step in
securing legal recognition of same-sex relationships and proper recognition of their status as
equal members of the community.
Jurisdiction
The Marriage Act 1961 is a law made by the Australian Parliament that regulates the rules for the
recognition of marriages throughout Australia.
The Marriage Act 1961 originally did not contain a definition of marriage. This was amended in
2004 to define marriage as ‘the union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others,
voluntarily entered into for life’.
Australian Local Governments have no jurisdiction or responsibility for marriage, however Local
Governments often advocate on behalf of members of their local communities for changes to
State or Federal Legislation and in June 2016 the Australian Local Government Association
(ALGA) passed a motion calling on the Federal Government to legalise same sex marriage.

Section 39
SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 11 JULY 2017
Noosa Social Strategy
In its community snapshot the Noosa Social Strategy (the Strategy) identifies 10-15% of the
Sunshine Coast region’s population as being LGBTI.
Theme 3 of the Strategy which discusses the creation of an accessible, diverse and affordable
community states:
Council values and embraces diversity be it cultural, spiritual, ethnic or capacity-based. We aim
to be a community that is tolerant, inclusive and welcoming. We will strive for social equity by
advocating for vulnerable groups to have access to appropriate support to enable their full
participation in our community.
And also under Key Issues the Strategy states:
There are an increasing number of vulnerable groups emerging in our community e.g. lone
person households, some within the LGBTI cohort, and disengaged young people. To service the
needs of these groups will require new and innovative approaches that support those most at
risk.
Councillor support for marriage equality
In the lead up to the March 2016 Local Government elections a number of Councillors expressed
their personal support for marriage equality.
On May 17, 2016 and 2017, Noosa Council flew the rainbow flag (a symbol of lesbian, gay,
bisexual and transgender pride and diversity) in support of International Day against Homophobia
and Transphobia (IDAHOT Day).
On 28 June 2016, Noosa Councillors released a press release welcoming the ALGA motion in
support of marriage equality. In that release Mayor Tony Wellington said Councillors had
discussed what their position should be, in light of the ALGA motion. “We agreed that ALGA is
the appropriate body to pursue this issue at the federal level on behalf of local governments."
On May 8, 2017, a number of Councillors met with a delegation from the LGBTI community. The
delegation asked that Council formally consider supporting marriage equality.
Right of others to hold contrary views
While this report is recommending Council formally support marriage equality and national polling
would suggest that a majority of Noosa residents support marriage equality, it is important to
acknowledge some sections of our community hold that marriage should only be between a man
and a woman.
Council’s support for the ALGA resolution is in no way disrespectful of these views, or people’s
right to have their own beliefs and opinions, rather it aims to uphold the notion of equality for all
under the law.

5 POMONA MID-TOWN RAIL CROSSING - SUPPORT FOR RETENTION
DOCUMENT INFORM AT ION

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The issue of closure of the mid-town pedestrian rail crossing in Pomona and the subsequent
community protest meeting has highlighted the strong wishes of the Pomona community to retain
and upgrade this crossing point.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Director Infrastructure Services to the Services &
Organisation Committee Meeting dated 11 July 2017 and authorise the CEO to write to
Queensland Rail supporting the Pomona Community in their wish to retain the existing mid-town
rail crossing and have it upgraded.
REPORT
1. Introduction
The purpose of this report is to seek a formal Council position of support for the Pomona
community who wish Queensland Rail (QR) to retain and upgrade the mid-town pedestrian
crossing through the Pomona Station Yard in Pomona.
The community organisation, the ‘Heart of Pomona’ (HOP) has expressed a strong desire since
2014 that this crossing point be retained and upgraded. At that time QR advised they had no
plans to remove the crossing. However, recent discussions with them revealed they have
commenced investigations for the potential closure of a number of open level crossings on the
regional network that have been identified as either non-compliant with respect to relevant safety
standards or as compliant but with low usage. This includes the mid-town pedestrian crossing at
Pomona Station Yard.
Council staff wrote to QR in 2014 supporting the Pomona community in their wish to retain the
existing crossing and have it upgraded. The following reasons were given:
the crossing provides a direct linkage between existing community facilities including the
village shops, Cooroora Creek Park, the medical centre, the Majestic Theatre and the
major bus stops for Pomona township;
a safe entry to the crossing, both east and west, is able to be provided for all users;
pedestrians have crossed at this location since the railway station was built in
approximately 1911; and
the crossing, at this location, forms part of the Pomona Heritage Walk and the Noosa Trail
Network which caters to walkers, cyclists and horse riders.
Council at the time also advised that it did not favour an overhead crossing at this location for
aesthetic and heritage reasons.
Page 41 of 51
Section 42
SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 11 JULY 2017
Now that QR are considering the closure of this crossing, it is recommended that a letter of
support for the Pomona Community be sent citing the formal Council resolution and reiterating
the reasons provided above.
2. Statistics +
The Pomona rail crossing is an important link for the town for the following reasons:
It caters for 64 pedestrians/day (source: QR, 2014).
It has been used since 1911 and forms part of the heritage walk.
It is the safest location for horses to cross the rail line. The underpass is not safe due to
horses spooking when confronted by vehicles coinciding with use.
It provides a logical efficient link between the two sides of town.
There is currently no safe alternate route provided.
3. Background
In 2014, QR advised Noosa Council of their safety concerns with the Reserve Street Pomona
open level crossing and provided details for the design of an active maze pedestrian facility. On
being advised of the upgrade to the Reserve Street crossing, HOP were concerned this would
lead to the eventual closure of the mid-town pedestrian rail crossing.
Concerns were conveyed to QR regarding the general connectivity issues for the town. In a
subsequent meeting with key QR representatives and Council’s Director, Planning and
Infrastructure, QR advised that they had no intentions to close this crossing.
Further, QR advised that trials were being performed on alternative devices that may mitigate the
safety issues. No advice has been received regarding these trials.
QR met with the A/Director, Planning and Infrastructure on 3 April 2017 to discuss the possibility
of Noosa Council constructing a footpath that would redirect stakeholders from the current mid-
town crossing at Pomona Station Yard, along Railway Parade, to the recently upgraded crossing
at Reserve Street. Council reiterated its position that QR should undertake community
consultation and take such consultation into consideration prior to making any decision on the
closure of the crossing.

Nil
Finance & Risk
If QR ultimately decide to proceed with the closure of the mid-town rail crossing, they have
indicated they would be willing to fund the construction of footpath linkages if Council were to
manage the construction.
Consultation
External Consultation - Community & Stakeholder
During the meeting of 3 April 2017, QR advised that any decisions on the mid-town rail crossing
would only be made after carrying out a full community consultation process. As part of this, QR
have developed a targeted stakeholder engagement approach which includes a key stakeholder
working group, letters to residents and businesses, drop in sessions, advertisements, fact sheets,
and feedback forms.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Not applicable.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Project Manager to the Services & Organisation Committee
Meeting dated 11 July 2017 and authorise staff to call for Expressions of Interest for the Design
and Construction of the Park Road Boardwalk from Little Cove to Noosa National Park.
REPORT
Background
Council has within the 2016/2017 capital works program an allocation of $6,500,000 to construct
the high profile Park Road Boardwalk project from Little Cove to Noosa National Park.
The design was developed in consultation with the Project Reference Group and overseen by the
Council Project Control Group.
The design was prepared by GHD with a cost of the completed Design and Construction phase
estimated at $6.63M. In December 2016 Council tendered the completed design and
construction project documentation on an open market basis, closing on 3 April 2017.
Following an extensive tender evaluation process, it was found that no tender was deemed
suitable to provide an acceptable option for Council to enter into a contract.
A post tender review, including post tender feedback sessions with tenderers, identified that a
number of issues that may have contributed to a wide spread of prices and limited submitters
included:
The timing of the tender release was too close to Christmas which conflicted with
tenderer’s other projects and the traditional holiday period.
The project was deemed complex resulting in contractor reluctance to expend effort into
tendering on an open market basis.
Traffic and pedestrian management options were deemed by contractors to have a large
impact on timing and costs.
Project timing was compressed, with the project to be completed in approximately 6
months. This timing was deemed insufficient by contractors to deliver the requirements
under the tender.
Page 44 of 51
Section 45
SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 11 JULY 2017
To respond to the above key factors, it is proposed to retender the project in the period from July
to November 2017 under the expression of interest (EOI) process. This process will seek to
shortlist only capable and experienced contractors ahead of a subsequent process of seeking
formal tender responses with pricings. Whilst the EOI process will exceed the timing of a
traditional open market process (including the evaluation process), it does have benefits to
Council that will allow:
Assessment of the capacity and capability of contractors up front.
Provide greater confidence to industry that competition is among similarly capable
contractors post shortlisting.
Allow Council to determine better value for money options from the shortlisted contractor
submissions.
The likely period for construction will be between 1 February 2018 and 14 December 2018,
avoiding Queensland School holidays, with more detail to be provided following the outcome of
the EOI and subsequent tender process.
This report is brought to Council on the basis that under the Local Government Regulation (2012)
s.228 subsection 3;
‘…the local government may invite expressions of interest under subsection (5) only if the
local government –
(a) Decides, by resolution, that it would be in the public interest to invite expressions of
interest before inviting written tenders; …’
And subsequently under s.228 subsection 6;
‘If the local government invites expressions of interest under subsection (5), the local
government may –
(a) prepare a short list from the persons who respond to the invitation for expressions of
interest; and
(b) invite written tenders from those persons.
Previous Council Consideration
Ordinary Meeting Minutes, 30 July 2015, Item 2, Page 4
That Council note the report by Project Manager and Designer - Projects to the Infrastructure &
Services Committee Meeting dated 21 July 2015 and
A. Approve the objectives for the project as set out in the report;
B. Note that staff will re-establish the Project Reference Group used for the previously
constructed stages of the Park Road Boardwalk; and
C. Authorise staff to engage with the Project Reference Group to further develop concept
designs and to bring those designs to a future Council meeting prior to proceeding to
detailed design.
Finance & Risk
The budget allocation for the project will carry over to the 2017/2018 financial year.
Noting the large tender price variances, staff will seek an independent cost estimate to verify a
second opinion on the reasonable cost for the project.
The previous open market tender process did not eventuate with a contract award due to
unacceptable contract risks. The EOI process will provide greater information to tenderers on
capacity and capability requirements.

As part of the feedback sessions with unsuccessful tenderers from the previous tender
1617T062, Council staff enquired as to the appropriateness of the procurement process that
included an Expression of Interest. The response from industry is that shortlisting through an EOI
process provides a reasonable balance between tender effort and probability of being shortlisted.
The project’s complexity under the former procurement model may have deterred a number of
contractors who were not willing to dedicate the resources for submitting a fully priced tender.
Internal Consultation
Tender result presented to Councillors and Leadership Team on 9 May 2017.
The proposed procurement strategy has been developed in consultation with the
Procurement section, and considering contractor tender feedback.

REPORT
Council administers 85 tenure arrangements across the Noosa Shire area for Council owned or
controlled land to various community organisations.
Since the July 2016 update report to Council, progress has been made on addressing the
backlog of tenure renewals. In the July 2016 update report, 25 tenure agreements were noted as
expired and this has now been reduced to 9 expired tenure agreements (see Attachment 1). A
number of tenure agreements are also currently in different stages of the renewal process. The
Property branch continue to work closely with the Community Development branch to renew
these agreements as efficiently as possible.
There are a further 4 community tenure agreements that will expire up to 31 December 2018
(see Attachment 2). These 4 tenure agreements will be renewed in accordance with the
Community Purpose Land and Infrastructure Tenure Policy which was endorsed by Council at
the Ordinary Meeting on 12 March 2015.
Under Section 236 (1) (b) (ii) of the Local Government Regulation 2012, Council is not required
to tender for the leasing of these properties as the purpose of the lease renewals are to
community organisations. The requirement of this exception is that a relevant Council resolution
is first obtained.

Finance & Risk
Risk
Security of tenure is often a requirement by government agencies operating grant programs that
community organisation access. Groups can potentially miss out on funding opportunities if
secure tenure arrangements are not in place.
Council also requires that the tenure arrangements be formalised to ensure that effective asset
management arrangements are in place including ongoing maintenance of buildings and facilities
in line with asset management plans.
