8. PUBLIC QUESTION TIME
8.1. DEBRA WALZ
QUESTION 1
What is Council’s framework for outsourcing work to contractors and consultants,
including key criteria such as value for money, contracting practices and policies,
alignment with appropriate Council plans, identification of risks, feedback on
lessons learned, community engagement and comparison to internal Council
employee expertise to undertake the work?
RESPONSE PROVIDED BY: Trent Grauf, Director Corporate Services
The framework for outsourcing any goods or services extends to the entire lifecycle
of delivering a service or project. Consideration is given to the sourcing at both
planning and execution stages. Planning Stage focus on Service Planning,
Workforce Planning, Project / Program Planning and also during budget
deliberations. During delivery or execution, sourcing is considered in terms of
Procurement, Contract Management.
In Terms of Service Planning: Council prepares a service plan for each of its
services it undertakes. The Service Plan not only articulates aspects such as levels
of service/frequency, but also articulate how each of those services are resourced.
These are adopted each year with Council’s budget.As any major service contract,
such as for example recently for cleaning, security, waste collection or lifeguards,
as they reach the end of their contract, they are reviewed to determine whether
scope and sourcing model is appropriate. Given this is undertaken on a case by
case basis, with a focus on high value outsourcing arrangements, as discussed
last month during the November 2024 Ordinary Meeting deliberations, there is
opportunity to develop a broader, comprehensive and consistent review model of
how council sources resources for its projects and service activities.
In Terms of Procurement: The procurement of Goods and Services by Council
is carried out in accordance with the Local Government Act 2009 and the Local
Government Regulation 2012. More specifically, when procuring goods and
services Council Officers must have regard for the Sound Contracting Principles,
as detailed in the Act, noting that Value for Money is one of these principles, in
addition to open and effective competition, developing competitive local business,
environmental protection and ethical behaviour and fair dealing. In assessing any
medium or large size contract, an evaluation matrix is applied that assesses the
preferred contractor based on a number of factors - such as Value for Money,
Environmental Impact, Experience, Methodology, Safety, Quality, Contribution to
the Local Economy.

ORDINARY MEETING MINUTES 19 DECEMBER 2024
QUESTION 2.
Does Council keep a register of approved external consultants and contractors and
a register of internal expertise of staff and if so, how often are these registers
reviewed and updated and the process for undertaking this?
RESPONSE PROVIDED BY: Trent Grauf, Director Corporate Services
Council utilises a number of registers related to outsourcing arrangements.
In Terms of Panel Arrangements: Under the provisions of the Local Government
Act 2009 and Local Government Regulation 2012, Council does rely on panels, or
registers of pre-qualified suppliers. Council will utilise these panels to undertake
many of its procurement activities. These panels are both established by
independent industry bodies, such as LocalBuy, and also specialised Council
established registers that specifically focus on ensuring Council utilises and
supports local businesses where possible. For interest, it is worth noting that during
the 2023/24 financial year over half of the goods and services Council sourced
were from local contractors in the Noosa, Gympie and Sunshine Coast region to
support the local economy. The pre-qualification process for these panels follows
the Act’s requirements for assessing value-for-money, and that the business has
sufficient experience, insurance and standards (such as safety, environmental,
etc.) before Council engages them for work. These panel arrangements are
reviewed and updated annually. For any local business listening online, and
interested being listed in these panel arrangements for Noosa Council and our
neighbouring Council’s, please visit the Tenders and Procurement page on
Council’s website.
In Terms of Executed Contracts: Under the provisions of the Local Government
Act 2009 and Local Government Regulation 2012, Council reports all large value
contracts and tenders valued at $200,000 (ex GST) and above on Council’s
website under the Tenders and Procurement page. Note that this does not extend
to small to medium sized contracts under $200,000. This register is updated for
each new contract.
In terms of Workforce: Council’s new corporate plan articulates the need to
develop a workforce capability plan. This Plan, once developed across the
organisation, will provide a consistent baseline to assist in determining any risks
and opportunities associated with the scale and expertise of our workforce, that
may currently be supplemented through external arrangements such labour hire,
contractors or consultants.
8.2. JOHN COCHRANE
QUESTION 1
What is the definition of a "Structure" used in determining Site Cover under the
Noosa Plan 2020? How is this definition derived and what guidelines are used to
ensure consistency in the application of term?
Page 6
ORDINARY MEETING MINUTES 19 DECEMBER 2024
RESPONSE PROVIDED BY: Richard MacGillivray, Director Regulation &
Development
Thank you for your question.
The term "structure" is not defined in the Planning Act 2016, Planning Regulations
2017, or the Noosa Plan 2020. However, the definition of "site cover" in the
Planning Regulations 2017 specifies certain buildings and structures that are
excluded from site cover calculations. These exclusions include:
Buildings or structures in landscaped or open space areas, such as
gazebos or shade structures.
Basements completely below ground level used for car parking.
The eaves of a building.
Sun shades.
As a result, these buildings and structures are not included in the calculation of site
cover. To ensure consistency, Council officers have historically included structures
greater than 1 metre above ground level in these calculations. Items such as
fences, retaining walls, and poles are not included. The recent council endorsed
amendments to the Noosa Plan 2020 include an editor’s note that aligns with this
approach to provide greater clarity regarding this provision.
QUESTION 2.
Can you describe how waste management will be carried out in the Noosa Springs
Hotel MCU21-0110? Specifically:
1. Where are bins to be located and what size are they?
2. How is waste transported to the bins?
3. How is noise associated with waste transfer mitigated?
4. Is a glass crusher proposed?
5. Where do garbage trucks access the bins?
RESPONSE PROVIDED BY: Richard MacGillivray, Director Regulation &
Development
Thank you for your question.
Your query seeks specific advice about a development application currently under
assessment and maybe subject to further changes from the applicant. We can
arrange for a planning officer to assist you with your queries about waste
management for the application and can direct you the current relevant application
information which is available via Council’s PD Online website.
8.3. KIM PETROVIC
QUESTION 1
When does a request to extend the decision period cease to be dealt with by way
of a delegated authority and brought to Councillors' attention/information that these
have been issued previously including how many? In the case of multiple rolling
approvals to extend the decision, at what point does it become the Councillors'
decision to determine if these approvals should be issued rather than these being
issued by the Development Assessment Manager?
RESPONSE PROVIDED BY: Richard MacGillivray, Director Regulation &
Development
Thank you for your question.
Council officers are responsible for assessing development applications in line with
legislative requirements. Extending the decision-making period is an operational
decision made during the assessment process, similar to issuing an information
request, extending an information response period, or sending a Further Advice
Page 7
ORDINARY MEETING MINUTES 19 DECEMBER 2024
letter. Agreeing to extend the decision-making period is part of the assessment
process and not a decision on the application itself. Additionally, extensions to the
decision-making period are often only requested and agreed to where the
applicant has advised they intend to take steps to address or respond to issues
raised during the assessment process. Councillors are also briefed from time to
time or on request on the status of applications that have significant community
interest.
QUESTION 2.
Does the rezoning of the adjacent Parkridge Estate as High Density Residential
materially affect the assessment of the hotel?
RESPONSE PROVIDED BY: Richard MacGillivray, Director Regulation &
Development
Thank you for your question.
While specific advice cannot be provided about an application currently under
assessment, I can confirm that the rezoning of the adjacent Parkridge Estate does
not materially affect the assessment of the proposed hotel at Noosa Springs. The
application is impact assessable and will be evaluated in accordance with the
requirements of the Planning Act 2016, Planning Regulations 2017, and the DA
Rules.
8.4. MARY NANCE FORSTER
QUESTION 1
Can Banksia Avenue and Banksia Avenue North be connected in order to provide
a third route from Noosa Junction to the Calile Hotel in Serenity Close in order to
alleviate traffic congestion and to provide a third exit in case of emergencies.
RESPONSE PROVIDED BY: Shaun Walsh, Director Infrastructure Services
Thank you for the question. Council’s traffic engineers have assessed the
proposed Calile development application and consider the use of Grant Street and
Katharina Street as being appropriate for the traffic generated for the proposal.
The proposal to connect Banksia Avenue north and Banksia Avenue needs more
consideration as it may have an unintended impact on the network, potentially
altering current traffic patterns and increasing demand on surrounding
infrastructure. As a result, a comprehensive analysis of the redistribution of traffic
flow will need to be conducted to identify and address any potential congestion
points, delays, or capacity issues. In particular, rat running in local streets, to avoid
traffic congestion in Noosa Junction, needs careful consideration.
It is noted that Council has commenced an update of the Noosa Traffic Study, that
considers traffic networks and functionality across the shire, using updated traffic
figures. Council can commit to raising this proposal to connect Banksia Avenue
with Councils Traffic Study consultants, and determine any benefit or impact. Any
changes to the local traffic network can then be considered in a wholistic manner,
and any changes fully considered by the Council and future community
engagement necessitated by any changes.
Thank you for raising this possible traffic improvement for our further
consideration.

choose to remain in the meeting room. However, I will respect the decision of the
meeting on whether I can remain and participate in the decision.
