SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                        12 MAY 2020


The previous Council established a Performance Review Committee to conduct the annual
performance appraisal of the Chief Executive Officer. This is good governance practice.
It is proposed that the Mayor and Deputy Mayor be appointed to the CEO Performance Review
Committee and that the role of Chair be assumed by the Mayor.
Q.   Councillor Discussion Forum
This is an informal catch up between Councillors held once per month to share information and
ideas and to get short updates from staff on current issues. It is not a decision making process but
is helpful in keeping all Councillors up-to-date on current issues. The Councillor Discussion Forum
is attended by all Councillors.
R.   Regional Sporting complexes
There are two regional sporting complexes in the Shire with multiple sporting bodies sharing the
facilities. These are located at Tewantin and Cooroy and have co-ordinating committees. Both of
these facilities have also recently had Masterplans adopted by Council to guide future
development.
For the Cooroy Sports Complex, Cr Stockwell is proposed as Council’s representative. For the
Tewantin Sports Complex, Cr Jurisevic is proposed as Council’s representative.
S.   Noosa Surfing Reserve
This is a community-based committee which has been successful in achieving national and
international surfing reserve recognition for Noosa. The committee still meets regularly to look at
management options for the surfing reserve.
It is proposed that Cr Lorentson be the Council’s representative on this committee.
T.   Cooroy Futures Group
The Cooroy Futures Group manages the Cooroy Butter Factory and undertakes a number of other
activities in the Cooroy township. They have previously requested Councillor representation to
attend their meetings to ensure that the interaction between their group and Council is strong and
that communication flows both ways.
Although traditionally there has been only one Council representative, it is proposed that Council
provide two representatives in the future, namely Cr Wilkie and Cr Finzel.
U.   Hinterland Playground Reference Group
This reference group was established by Council to assist with the development of the proposed
hinterland playground at Cooroy. It includes members from the Cooroy community, Council staff
and two Councillors.
It is proposed that the Council representatives for this reference group be Cr Wilkie and Cr Finzel.
V.   Peer-To-Peer Economy and Short-Term Letting Industry Reference Group
This is a reference group established by the State government to look at the state wide implications
of the growth in short-term letting. The reference group is managed by the Minister for Tourism
and contains members from across a range of sectors including the tourism sector, local
government, short-term letting providers, state government agencies etc. Via the LGAQ, two local
governments were invited to be members of the reference group, namely Cairns City Council and
Noosa Shire Council and each is required to provide a representative for the reference group
meetings.
It is proposed that the Council representative for this reference group be the Mayor.
