SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                              6 FEBRUARY 2018


FUTURE DIRECTION

The J
   The J will continue to operate as a multipurpose community venue that caters for a wide
     range of events, users and activities. It is envisaged that the increase in activity will
     continue, however theatre/auditorium availability is becoming more limited, particularly
     between July and December due mostly to popular events being held during this period
     (Noosa Alive, film festivals, end of year/season performances, and Christmas events).
   Ongoing relationship with USC with the view to increase activity at The J.
   Ongoing liaison with Noosa Community Radio to monitor and review their ability to meet
     the lease requirements. In this regard there were positive conversations held with the new
     board in late 2017 and a proposal outlining the station’s ability to increase their rental
     payments is expected shortly.
   Continued refinement of The J’s digital marketing initiatives, to build on an already very
     strong platform.
   Further consideration of future capital works funding, including provision of additional
     storage and increased stage/greenroom area and refurbishment of the rear deck.
   Review of The J’s technical capacity over the next 3 to 5 years.
   Ongoing consideration of energy efficiency initiatives in consultation with the ZEN team.

BCC
  Completion of the Noosa Gymnastic Club’s expansion of the Main Hall.
  Finalise permanent hire of the Annexe building to Montessori Noosa.
