EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Development Planner to the Planning & Environment
Committee Meeting dated 10 July 2018 and the Further Report to the General Committee dated
16 July 2018 regarding Application No. MCU16/0079.02 for a minor change to Development
Permit for Material Change of Use of Premises for extensions to RSL Club situated at 5 Memorial
Avenue, Tewantin, described as Lot 10 on SP 273411 and:
A. Agree to amend condition 3 to read as follows:
3. The proposed development provides for an extension to the Gaming Area (providing
for a maximum of 195 gaming machines and limited to a total floor area of 565m 2),
Smokers Terrace, Store, Children’s Lounge, basement carpark area and other
internal modifications as shown on the approved plans.
B. Investigate the development of a policy for gaming machines to minimise the potential
harm associated with gambling.
REPORT
A report on this application was considered by the Planning & Environment Committee meeting
on 10 July 2018. The application was referred to the General Meeting for further information,
requested by councillors. Officers advised at the meeting that a further report would be prepared
for the General Committee meeting providing detail and discussion around the matters raised at
the Planning and Environment Committee.
The matters raised at committee are discussed below.
1. What are the requirements and best method for Council to develop/adopt a policy on
gaming machines?
Advice has been sought from the Department of State Development, Manufacturing,
Infrastructure and Planning with respect to the development of such a policy or planning scheme
provision. The Department has advised that they are not aware of any other Council in
Queensland who has attempted to influence or regulate this matter in any way and requires
further time to investigate this matter. The Department has advised that they are unlikely to be
able to provide advice to Council prior to Council’s Ordinary Meeting in July 2018.
2. What is the approximate annual turnover of a single electronic gaming machine?
No statistics were found with respect to the average turnover of a single electronic gaming
machine annually. However, as a broad indication, in July 2017 there were 42,757 operational
Page 3 of 41
Section 4
GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 16 JULY 2018
poker machines in Queensland at 1156 sites. In July alone, Queenslanders lost $216 million
playing electronic gaming machines in clubs and hotels. This equates to approximately $5,051
per gaming machine for the month of July 2017, on average.
These figures were published by the Brisbane Times newspaper on 18 September 2017.
3. Is gambling a separate use to the current Tewantin RSL?
The RSL has been approved as an undefined use under The Noosa Plan. This is because the
existing uses collectively do not fit neatly with any of the uses under the Noosa Plan, these being
a combination of community and entertainment and dining uses.
Under The Noosa Plan, the operation of electronic gaming machines is best characterised as an
entertainment and/or amusement activity, consistent with The Noosa Plan definition of an
Entertainment and dining business – Type 2 Recreation, amusement & fitness. The various
entertainment and dining business uses under the planning scheme are listed below for Council’s
reference:
The existing approval includes entertainment and dining uses and on this basis it is considered
the proposed additional gaming machines are in keeping with the approved use for the site and
does not constitute a new use or a material increase in the intensity or scale of the approved use
of the premises.
4. Should the proposed change be publicly notified for comment, as the proposal may
give rise to social impacts?
Pursuant to the Planning Act 2016, minor change means a change that:
“for a development approval—
(i) would not result in substantially different development; and
(ii) if a development application for the development, including the change, were made when
the change application is made would not cause—
(A) the inclusion of prohibited development in the application; or
(B) referral to a referral agency, other than to the chief executive, if there were no referral
agencies for the development application; or
(C) referral to extra referral agencies, other than to the chief executive; or
(D) a referral agency to assess the application against, or have regard to, matters
prescribed by regulation under section 55(2), other than matters the referral agency
must have assessed the application against, or have had regard to, when the
application was made; or
(E) public notification if public notification was not required for the development
application.”
Page 4 of 41
Section 5
GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 16 JULY 2018
The definition of minor change no longer includes a provision around whether a person is likely to
make a submission to the proposed change as previously provided for under the Sustainable
Planning Act 2009.
The proposed change to the development approval requested by the applicant meets the
Planning Act 2016 requirements for a minor change as detailed in the report to the Planning &
Environment Committee meeting. The proposed change will not result in a substantially different
development to the approved development.
While an increase in the number of gaming machines may arguably increase the severity of
known social impacts, the proposal does not materially change the intensity of the approved use
given the current Noosa Plan does not regulate gaming machines. The proposed change raises
no conflict with the Noosa Plan and therefore there are no appropriate grounds to refuse the
requested change and require the applicant to lodge a new development application in order to
publicly notify the requested change on these grounds. Council could only reasonably regulate
gaming machines through the development assessment process if there were specific planning
scheme provisions for gaming machines and there is currently nothing to this effect in The Noosa
Plan.
5. Can Council consider the issue of need in the community services zone and if so
what criteria could apply?
The proposed use is specifically contemplated for the site by The Noosa Plan and therefore is
not required to demonstrate need given the uses consistency with the site’s community services
zoning.
CONCLUSION
It is concluded that while it is concerning that the RSL is continuing to increase the number of
gaming machines within the club, the proposed increase is consistent with their current state
licence. The proposed increase is a moderate increase of 15 machines representing an 8.1%
increase and does not raise any conflict with The Noosa Plan. Therefore, officers confirm their
previous recommendation to Council to change the condition to reflect the number of gaming
machines currently approved by the state and investigate the potential for Council to develop a
policy and/or introduce planning scheme provisions in the future.

Attachments 1. Capital Projects Delivery Status, 30 June 2018
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The project delivery status report is presented regularly to Council for consideration. This report
particularly highlights the projects that have been delivered throughout the 2017/2018 financial
year.
This report also provides a capital project delivery spreadsheet (Attachment 1) that gives a
general overview of the financial status of all projects as they were delivered.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Asset Planning Manager to the General Committee Meeting
dated 16 July 2018 providing an update on the status of the projects being delivered throughout
the 2017/18 Capital Works Program and note that the anticipated 2017/18 Financial Year capital
expenditure final result will be $27.8M, equivalent to 90% of the $30.9m capital works budget.
REPORT
The purpose of this report is to inform Council of the overall status and associated activities of
the Capital Works Program to the end of June 2018. The report provides an opportunity to
highlight and discuss projects within the program and confirm the delivery status of projects
delivered throughout the 2017/2018 financial year.
There were 126 active projects in the 2017/18 capital program as of 30 June 2018 (including the
carryover projects from 2016/2017) with a value of $30.9m.
1. Current Projects
The major focus in the final quarter of the financial year was to complete the construction phase
of projects. However, some significant projects are programmed as multi-year projects, meaning
they will be delivered over two or more financial years. Additionally, the majority of design only
projects in the financial year are completed in preparedness for the construction phase
throughout the 2018/19 financial year.
Projects currently underway or being delivered across multiple years of the capital program
include:
Noosa Heads Main Beach Boardwalk renewal
Noosa Heads Park Road Boardwalk renewal
Noosaville Noosa River Holiday Park small & large amenities renewal
Tewantin Hilton Terrace & Ernest Street Intersection upgrade
Black Mountain Black Mountain Road rehabilitation (design only)
Cooroy Donnellys Road upgrade
Pomona Station Street bus turnaround
Cooran Pioneer Park upgrade
Castaways Beach Castaways Beach carpark upgrade (design only)
Cooroy Mary River Road Bridge replacement

Sunrise Beach Orealla Crescent Bridge refurbishment (design only)
Noosaville Noosaville Library refurbishment
Cooroy Hinterland Playground – Planning Stage

Cooroy – Hinterland Playground (Planning Stage)
The above projects will continue to be delivered throughout the 2018/19 financial year with the
Tewantin - Hilton Tce upgrade and the Cooroy - Hinterland Playground projects to continue
through the 2019/20 financial year as well.

GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 16 JULY 2018
2. Completed Projects
A major milestone for Noosa Council was the delivery of $25.8m of capital works in a single
financial year. This a great achievement and demonstrates that Council has matured in delivering
a large capital works program consistently. The establishment of a capital works framework that
has project control groups and a capital works executive, have created organisational efficiencies
and enabled staff and Councillors to make informed decisions that relate to projects that are
delivered throughout the year. This is aided by having valuable resources within the design and
delivery teams.
Some of the projects completed across the capital program throughout 2017/18 include:
Peregian Beach Digital Hub Project
Noosaville Wallace Park Pathway Renewals
Noosa Heads Noosa Spit SLSQ Storage Facility
Cootharaba Kinmond Creek Culvert upgrades
Noosaville Weyba Road Corridor Improvements
Tewantin Boat Ramp Upgrade
Cooroy Cooroy Library LED Lighting Renewal
Six Mile Creek Flood Gauge Monitoring Systems
Sunshine Beach Skate Park Renewal

networks.

5. Summary
The current capital delivery expenditure to 30 June 2018 is $25.8m, or 83% of the capital
program. The final financial processing of invoices for goods received and works undertaken for
the 2017/18 program is still in progress with an estimated value of $2m of invoices yet to be
recognised for 2017/18 year. This is anticipated to improve the year to date actuals to $27.8m or
90% of the $30.9m budget for the 2017/18 financial year.
It is important to note that there are $16.8m in outstanding commitments. This amount not only
reflects those projects that are delivered, but also new contracts awarded for 2018/19 works that
are yet to commence. A review of these commitments identifies an estimated $3.8m outstanding
commitments related to the 2017/18 year with the remaining $13.8m related to projects being
delivered in the 2018/19 financial year.
The outcome of the 2017/18 capital works program will be reported to Council in the first budget
review of 2018/19 financial year and will confirm the significant achievement of delivering the
largest capital works program to date for Noosa Council.

RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Manager Financial Services to the Ordinary Meeting dated 16
July 2018 providing results of interim 2017/18 financial performance against budget.
REPORT
Operating Position
Council’s Financial Sustainability Policy requires that an operating surplus be maintained each
year over the life of Council’s ten-year financial plan. An operating surplus is achieved when
operating revenues are greater than operating expenses. An operating surplus means that the
community’s financial capital does not degrade and that sufficient funds are being collected to
fund both business as usual operations and existing asset maintenance and replacement.
Council adopts a conservative approach to forecasting its budget to ensure that any unexpected
financial expenditure shocks during the year can be absorbed. This approach is evident with the
interim operating surplus of $5.8 million compared to current budget of $2k. This surplus will
likely reduce once year-end expenditure accruals are recognised.
Operating Revenue (Benchmark 100%)
Council has received 103% ($96.1 million) of its operating revenue budget ($93.2 million).

restricted purposes (e.g. unexpended levy and grant funds) and unspent monies committed for
funding capital projects which are underway and will likely carryover into the 2018/19 financial
year.
The pie charts following present the mix of cash held at June 2018 by agency (graph on the left)
and by credit risk rating (graph on the right). The investment mix complies with Council’s

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report details key issues that Council has dealt with during the 2017/18 financial year in the
context of our five Corporate Plan themes. It would be an understatement to note that the last 12
months has been busy and productive. The scale, scope and diversity of subject matter
addressed by Council during the last 12 months speaks for itself.
Council could not have achieved so much without the effort of our staff who have gone “above
and beyond” to deliver services to our community and I would like to take the opportunity to
recognise the great work by our Mayor, Councillors and our incredible staff during 2017/18.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Chief Executive Officer to the General Committee Meeting
dated 16 July 2018 providing a review of Council’s progress in the 2017/18 financial year towards
achieving the five key focus areas set out in Council’s Corporate Plan.
REPORT
Pursuant to the Local Government Act, the CEO is required to provide Council with an annual
report identifying the progress made towards the achievement of Council’s long term objectives
as set out in the Corporate Plan. Even if this was not a statutory requirement, it would still be a
useful process to review progress in a financial year. This report covers the 2017/18 financial
year.
This report is designed to look at longer term progress at a Corporate Plan level. It provides an
opportunity to pause from the day to day minutia and to consider what we have achieved in the
last 12 months as we work towards our vision.
As Council would be aware, our current Corporate Plan was adopted in early 2017 following a
significant process to develop our long term vision, 20 year goals and 5-year key focus areas.
We have operated under that Corporate Plan for the 2017/18 financial year. (We are currently
working through a process to update our Corporate Plan with the Plan currently available for
community input via Your Say Noosa).
The Corporate Plan sets out five key themes, namely:
1. The Noosa Environment
2. The Noosa Community
3. The Noosa Economy
4. Long-Term Planning for Noosa Shire
5. Excellence as a Council
This review of the last 12 months will be made against these five themes.

1 2017/18 – A YEAR IN REVIEW
Corporate Plan Theme 1: The Noosa Environment
“Our environment is protected, enhanced and valued by the community”
Key achievements as we work towards our long term goal include:
Council reviewed its management approach to the Noosa River and has committed to refresh
and rewrite the Noosa River Plan with an expanded focus on river catchment management.
The revised Noosa River Plan is almost ready for community consultation.
Council signed a Memorandum of Understanding in October 2017 with the State
Government, HQPlantations and the Noosa Parks Association for the development of a
project to protect major parts of the Yurol and Ringtail forest areas. Council agreed to the
final format of the contracts in June 2018. This is the most significant environmental project
in recent years and will see almost 2,400 ha of land transition to protected conservation
tenure over the next 10 years providing regional scale environmental connectivity, particularly
for koala corridors.
Council completed its audit of stormwater pollution in the Noosaville Industrial Estate and is
working closely with local businesses to improve environmental management practices in that
area.

Section 31
GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 16 JULY 2018
Council provided ongoing support to the Boomerang Alliance in their campaign for a Plastic
Free Noosa.
Staff are currently working to develop a suite of management plans for bushland reserve
areas within the Shire. Approximately 30 plans were completed in the last 12 months and the
Council also adopted a comprehensive set of Community Bushcare Operational Guidelines in
April 2018. Council also finalised its policy on the management / removal of Trees on Public
Land.
Council is implementing its Zero Emissions Strategy focused on achieving net zero emissions
by 2026. This was a major initiative of Mayor Wellington and Council considered a report by
ERM in relation to the energy use of nine of Council’s largest energy producing sites.
Contracts were let for the installation of solar panels at most of the major Council buildings at
a cost of approximately $250,000. This will reduce both Council’s emissions and also our
ongoing electricity costs.
Council’s new waste management contract
commenced in September 2017. This new
contract (awarded to Cleanaway for the
period 2017 - 2024 at an approximate cost
of $46 million) is the largest contract the
Council manages. The introduction of a
mandated green waste recycling bin in
urban areas of the Shire was seamless.
This will reduce green waste being buried in
the landfill, thus significantly reducing
methane gas was a smooth process with
significant communication with our
community to ensure that service delivery.
Council has also successfully negotiated for
the ongoing processing and sale of our
recyclable waste following the 2017 decision of the Chinese government to discontinue taking
Australian recyclable materials. At the same time, we have responded to the announcement
by the State government to introduce a $70 per tonne landfill levy from early 2019.
Council is continuing the development of a Climate Hazard Adaption Plan. This project (being
funded by the State via LGAQ) is aiming to develop both a Climate Hazard Adaption Plan
and a Climate Change Adaption Plan. Research and community engagement has been
undertaken in 2017/18 for the CHAP.
Work on our Waste Reduction and Recycling Plan has continued in 2017/18. This included
significant media coverage and school education sessions.
Council awarded tenders in September 2017 for the ongoing environmental monitoring of
Council owned landfills including both current and closed landfills. This ensures that Council
meets its environmental obligations in relation to its landfills (both current and closed).
Council issued a new 7-year licence to operate the Recycling and Sales Facility at the
Eumundi Road Resource Recovery Facility to Resource Recovery Australia. This decision
saw the closure of the Brightside Tip Shop and the launch of Noosa Reviva on 3 July 2018.
Council approved a further 3-year funding agreement with the Noosa Biosphere Reserve
Foundation in June 2018. During 2017/18, Council also provided $250,000 to the Noosa
Biosphere Reserve Foundation for projects that advance the purpose of the Noosa Biosphere
Reserve as well as $140,000 for operational expenses (in accordance with the funding
agreement in place until 30 June 2018).
Council has addressed a range of significant planning and environment applications during
the last 12 months. During that period, Council approved 98.5% of planning applications.
Page 31 of 41
Section 32
GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 16 JULY 2018
Some of the more interesting applications considered by Council during 2017/18 included:
o Refusal of a request for an extension of time for an old approval on Hollett Road,
Noosaville;
o Approval of the redevelopment of the Noosa RSL building;
o Signage issues on storage businesses in the Noosaville industrial estate;
o Approval of the redevelopment of the commercial shops on Hilton Terrace, Noosaville;
o Approval of ‘Orange on Sunrise’ at Tinbeerwah; and
o Approval of a home based business at Cooroibah.
Council had success in the Planning and Environment Court. The appeal for the Retirement
Village at Eenie Creek Road was withdrawn, the appeal over the deck at Noosa Harbour was
settled, the home business swim school at Noosaville withdrew their appeal, we were
successful with the infrastructure charges appeal at Lake Macdonald and we are substantially
through the hearing of the Peregian Beach development proposed by Thomco.
Council commenced a study via CSIRO’s Data61 research unit to undertake research into
the concept of an Institute of Sustainability for Noosa. The report is expected to be finalised
soon.
Council adopted a policy to oppose any further applications for coal exploration, coal mining,
coal seam gas exploration or coal seam gas production within the Shire. This is in keeping
with Council’s environmental stance.
Corporate Plan Theme 2: The Noosa Community
“Our community is connected, safe and happy and able to meet their potential”
Key achievements as we work towards our long term goal include:
Council finalised the settlement of the purchase of Johns Landing at Cooroibah. This was
one of the most significant projects of 2017/18. More than 90 people were re-housed through
the work of the Noosa Community Roundtable. Rehabilitation of the land (partly purchased
with the Environment Levy) has commenced with the removal of a significant amount of
rubbish and contamination.
Council adopted a three-year implementation plan for the Noosa Social Strategy. This
includes an annual update to Council on progress for implementation of the Noosa Social
Strategy. Included within the Social Strategy is the establishment of the Noosa Community
Roundtable which successfully assisted with the transition process at Johns Landing and is
now focusing on affordable housing.
Council adopted a Sport and Active Recreation Plan following extensive community
engagement. That Plan will help guide Council in managing community facilities and
programs associated with both active and passive sports.
An implementation plan was adopted by Council in
February 2018.
Council has commenced the development of a Community
Health and Wellbeing Plan. This process commenced in
March 2018 with the establishment of a Reference Group
and will be completed during 2018/19.
Work is also progressing well on Noosa’s Cultural Plan.
The Consultative Committee has finalised a draft Plan
which is currently available for community consultation.
The Queen’s Baton Relay event was held in Noosa on 26
March 2018. With over 35 baton bearers and thousands of
residents lining the route, the Baton Relay was a
successful event with positive feedback from the
Commonwealth Games organisers.

GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 16 JULY 2018
There has been significant progress on the backlog of community lease renewals. Following
de-amalgamation, we inherited more than 28 expired leases and had quite a number of other
community groups with no formal tenure arrangements. By 2017, there were no community
groups without tenure arrangements in place and only 8 leases still awaiting renewal.
Council has undertaken two community Council meetings during 2017/18. In November
2017, we held a Council meeting at Sunshine Beach and in June 2018, we held a Council
meeting at Kin Kin. This continues Council’s ongoing commitment to open decision making
and provides an opportunity for more members of the public to attend Council meetings. In
keeping with our ongoing commitment to transparency, during the year we only closed
Council/Committee meetings on 5 occasions to deal with confidential matters.
Council worked closely with the Pomona community to provide support and advocacy in
relation to the Mid-Town Rail crossing. Following a significant lobbying campaign and
working very closely with the community, success was achieved when Queensland Rail
announced that it would retain the crossing and look at safety upgrades rather than closing
the crossing.
Council finalised the design of the Park Road Boardwalk following an extensive community
engagement process. Expressions of interest were called and following a subsequent tender
process, a contract for $6.5M was awarded to Hutchinson Builders. Construction has
commenced and will be completed in the latter half of 2018. At the same time, the Noosa
Main Beach Boardwalk upgrade (between the Surf Club and Sails) is underway and will be
completed shortly.
Noosa participated in the University of Canberra’s Rural and Regional Wellbeing survey. The
survey found that as a community, our sense of well-being exceeded other regional areas in
Queensland and Australia in 9 out of the 10 areas measured.
Following extensive community engagement with the Cooroy community regarding the future
of the Cooroy Community Hall, Council agreed to accept trusteeship of the Deed of Grant in
Trust and supported the establishment of the Cooroy Community Hall Association Inc. in
January 2018. An agreement to lease was signed with the Association so they could
renovate and ultimately manage the Hall. As part of that agreement Council agreed to fund
50% of the restoration costs (capped at $192,000) with the community funding the remaining
50%. This has been an excellent outcome for the Cooroy community with the official re-
opening of the hall occurring in April 2018.
Council has undertaken numerous Library and Gallery programs to support our community.
Our Library Services have physically
issued over 744,00 items to our
community during the last 12 months.
The Council also let a tender for the major
refurbishment of the Noosaville Library
which will be completed in the second half
of 2018.
Council opened a Makerspace at the
Cooroy Library with funding assistance
from the State Library of Queensland.
The Makerspace includes 3D printers,
robotics and virtual reality “hands on”
activities.
Council completed a detailed review of the options for the future use of the Noosaville
foreshore. This included an extensive community engagement process which culminated in
the adoption of the Noosaville Foreshore Land Use Master Plan in May 2018. The
importance of this area to our community was highlighted by the large number of submissions
made through the community engagement process.

GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 16 JULY 2018
Council has reviewed and updated its Community Engagement Policy. Significant community
engagement projects in 2017/18 included:
o Park Road Boardwalk o Peregian Beach Digital Hub
o Climate Change Adaption Plan o Waste Management Local Law
o Pioneer Park, Cooran o Arts, Heritage and Cultural Plan
o Cooroy Memorial Hall
Council responded to community concerns about the proliferation of short term online
booking agencies. We were successful in having a motion passed at the Local Government
Association of Queensland Conference that resulted in the establishment of a State
Government Reference Group to address the issue and Mayor Wellington was appointed as
one of two Local Government representatives on that Group. The final outcomes of the State
Government Reference Group should be known soon.
Council won a Queensland National Trust Award for the project on “Noosa Remembers – A
History of the World War 1 memorials of Noosa Shire”. We also provided Pomona Arts Inc.
with one off funding to support their ongoing management of the Pomona Majestic Theatre.
Council focused on recognising the important role of volunteers in our community. A series
of videos was produced highlighting examples of the work undertaken by volunteers and a
“volunteer recognition” event was hosted by Council.
Our Noosa Aquatic Centre, Noosa Leisure Centre and The J all had outstanding years.
Reports will be provided to Council in due course in relation to the annual performance of our
community facilities. In terms of numbers, the NAC had 242,922 visits which is just under last
year’s record number of visits, the Leisure Centre had 109,108 visits which is up 7.1 % on
last year and The J had 85,089 visits which is up 6.7% on 2016/17.
Council once again provided funding for the free bus service at Christmas and Easter to
make it easier for our community to move around during those busy holiday periods. Usage
of that service continued to grow and we also negotiated new service arrangements for
parking at the Noosa Heads Lions Park with increased parking fees from $10 to $20. The
average number of passengers using the free buses during the Christmas period has grown
from 3,926 in 2015/16 to 4,157 in 2017/18. Like previous years, 66% of users had access to
a car but caught the bus to avoid traffic and congestion. Surveys showed that 94% of users
were either very satisfied or satisfied.
Council continued to provide its community grant program supporting our community groups.
During 2017/18, we provided $842,946 in grants to 135 recipients to support projects,
acquisition of equipment or events. Council staff also facilitated a number of evening
information sessions for community organisations to help improve their governance and grant
writing skills. Details of the grant categories and amounts are set out below:
Grant Type Number of Recipients Total grant value
Community Project 47 $261,057
RADF 16 $73,000
Alliance Agreements 13 $114,687
Emergency Alliance Agreements 2 $21,307
Halls and Community Centres 10 $79,218

GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 16 JULY 2018
Corporate Plan Theme 3: The Noosa Economy
“Our economy is diverse and resilient”
Key achievements as we work towards our long term goal include:
The construction of the Peregian Beach
Digital Hub was completed. Council was
successful in obtaining $1 million of
funding from the State Government and
we are awaiting advice from the
Commonwealth Government on $2.5M for
Stage 3. Following an EOI process,
tenant and co-workers have been
identified and the Hub now has its first
occupants with more to come over the
coming weeks. Council has also secured
a Digital Hub Director who has excellent
industry experience.
Council adopted an Economic Development Grants Policy in November 2017 and provided
grants in support of programs that will achieve the outcomes of the Local Economic Plan.
Council continued to work closely with Tourism Noosa and entered into a new funding
agreement which provides funding for 3 years with a further 2-year option. Council worked
closely with Tourism Noosa on the development of its Noosa Tourism Strategy 2017 - 2022.
This strategy includes a focus on “value over volume” in relation to tourism so that the focus
is on yield per visitor rather than simply more visitor numbers. As a separate but related
issue, the Council adopted the Noosa Main Beach Events Policy which prescribed a limit on
the number of events to be held annually on Noosa Main Beach.
Council and Tourism Noosa worked together to establish a Sustainable Tourism Stakeholder
Reference Group. This brings together approximately 15 different groups from the business,
community and environmental sectors to consider challenges associated with how Noosa can
manage the success it has achieved in becoming a premier tourism destination. The Group
met 3 times during 2017/18 and will continue to meet in the coming months.
Council continued to work closely with Regional Development Australia (Sunshine Coast) on
a range of projects including a successful entrepreneurship program.
Council continued an audit of business signage across the shire and also provided
information to the operators while the audit was being undertaken.
Council awarded management rights for the Cooroy RV Stopover to the Cooroy Chamber of
Commerce for a 3-year term. The ongoing activation of the Cooroy RV Stopover will assist
the local Cooroy economy.
Council worked with the private sector to assist with the establishment of Innovate Noosa.
This is part of a regional program that attracted significant funding from Advance Queensland
to develop innovation on the Sunshine Coast. Council supported a number of networking
events to promote this initiative.
Council continued to successfully implement its Local Economic Plan. Unemployment rates
in Noosa continue to be at historic lows – Noosa 4.5%, compared to the balance of the
Sunshine Coast, 5.1% and Queensland, 6.0%.
Council co-funded an Innovation Masterclass for 14 local businesses to develop local
business capacity.
Council staff worked closely with the Noosa Junction Association throughout 2017/18
assisting them with the implementation of their plan to regenerate the Junction. A number of
joint meetings were facilitated with stakeholders regarding the planning scheme.

GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 16 JULY 2018
Corporate Plan Theme 4: Long term planning for Noosa Shire
“Noosa Shire is well managed and sustainable”
Key achievements as we work towards our long term goal include:
Council undertook significant work on the development of the new Planning Scheme during
2017/18. Council adopted the New Noosa Plan in May 2018 for the purpose of the State
interest review. We have undertaken a large range of studies and assessments to support
the development of the scheme including:
o Agriculture & Agricultural Land in Noosa Shire
o Biodiversity Assessment Report
o Centres Hierarchy
o Extractive Resources & Minerals
o Flood Management
o Housing Needs Assessment
o Landslip Hazard Report
o Nature-based Tourism Review
o Noosa Open Space Study
o On-site Effluent Disposal
o Urban Design Locality Summary Report
o Waterways Assessment Study.
Council was able to provide significant input into the ongoing development of the draft South-
East Queensland Regional Plan. That final outcome of that Plan, which was adopted in
August 2017, resulted in recognition of Noosa’s planning approach. There was no expansion
of the urban footprint in Noosa which is a good outcome for the Noosa community.
Council undertook a significant review of our infrastructure plans to enable us to meet new
legislative requirements for the imposition of contributions from developers towards the cost
of infrastructure. This included the adoption of a suite of plans such as the Transport Network
Plan as required for the Local Government Infrastructure Plan (LGIP). We were one of the
first Councils in Queensland to develop a LGIP under the new legislation and have it in place
before 30 June 2018. We adopted our new LGIP at a Special Council meeting on 29 May
2018.
Council undertook a review of our Local Laws and Subordinate Local Laws focusing
particularly on Local Law 1 (Administration) and Local Law 2 (Animal Management).
Following the statutory review process, Council will finalise these amendments in August
2018. Council also established a new Local Law (Local Law 7) dealing with waste
management on the basis that the State was going to remove the legislative power on which
Councils regulated commercial waste collection.
Council commenced a process to update its Corporate Plan. The Corporate Plan retains the
current vision – “Noosa Shire - different by nature”. Although significant changes are not
proposed, it is an opportunity to keep the Corporate Plan up to date and relevant.
Council adopted an updated Noosa Local Disaster Management Plan in October 2017 which
guides our responses to natural disasters. Council has also undertaken considerable work in
developing our response to natural disasters including undertaking disaster management
exercises to train our staff. Our long serving Local Disaster Co-ordinator is stepping down
from that role as at 30 June 2018 and our Director Infrastructure Services will assume that
role. Council also adopted the Noosa Local Recovery Sub-plan 2018 to guide recovery
processes in the event that a major disaster occurs.

Section 37
GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 16 JULY 2018
Council also completed the Six Mile Creek Flood Study after extensive consultation with the
Lake Macdonald Drive Community Reference Group.
Council began implementation of its Transport Policy and Transport Strategy. We have
begun to work with some local schools on Walk/Ride to school programs. Extensive
research has also been undertaken on the other 4 priorities identified in the Strategy
including parking studies, negotiations with Translink etc. A longer term vision (e-Noosa) has
also been developed to assist in lobbying other levels of government for funding. A separate
report on this issue is being reported to the July round of Council meetings.
Noosa Council provided a charging station for electric vehicles at Cooroy as its contribution to
the State Governments Electric Super Highway stretching from the Gold Coast up to Cairns.
Council adopted a Strategic Asset Management Plan in
September 2017. That Plan set the framework for the
adoption of more detailed Asset Management Plans and
Council has subsequently begun the process of adopting
some of these plans. To date, detailed asset management
plans have been adopted for the Noosa Main Beach Sand
Recycling System and the Noosa Aquatic Centre. Work on
Roads and Bridges is well advanced and should be
complete soon with Stormwater to follow.
Council developed its first 5-year Capital Program allowing
for a longer planning horizon for capital projects. Our
Infrastructure Planning, Design and Delivery team now
have future projects they can plan for. In addition, our
teams delivered a significant number of capital projects
including:
o Weyba Road corridor upgrade, Noosaville;
o Donnellys Road upgrade, Ridgewood;
o Kinmond Creek Culvert upgrades at Cootharaba;
o Boat Ramp Upgrade, Tewantin;
o Flood Gauge Monitoring Systems on Six Mile Creek;
o Bus Stop upgrade program;
o Poinciana Avenue, Tewantin; and
o Major reseal program with 11.8 km of roads either resealed, rehabilitated or spray
sealed.
Council was successful in securing grant funding to replace a number of bridges including the
Mary River Road Bridge in Cooroy and the Noosa Road Bridge in Cooran. Tenders have
been awarded for these two bridges with the tender for the third bridge at Orealla Crescent,
Sunrise Beach to be undertaken in 2018/19.
Council adopted its Signage Policy in August 2017. This provides for a more uniform and
consistent approach to Council signage noting the importance of the Noosa “look and feel” as
set out in our Noosa Design Principles.
Corporate Plan Theme 5: Excellence as a Council
“The Noosa Shire community is proud of its Council”
Key achievements as we work towards our long term goal include:
Council undertook its first detailed community satisfaction survey which was reported to
Council in August 2017. The Survey was undertaken by an independent professional survey
firm (Market Facts) and identified that Council was achieving a community satisfaction score
significantly above comparable Councils in almost all service categories.
Page 37 of 41
Section 38
GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 16 JULY 2018
o 76.4% of respondents viewed Council’s overall performance as good and very good.
o Top performing services were Waste Management, Customer Service, Disaster
Management, Community Safety, Management and Supervisory Officers, Quality of
Elected Council and Financial Management.
o Areas for improvement included Parking, Facilities, Economic Development/ Local
Employment, Road Maintenance, responding to the Community, Road Construction, and
Providing Leadership and Advocacy.
Although our end of year financial statements have not yet been finalised, it is clear that we
have had another successful financial year. Revenues were above budget and expenses
were below budget. This will be reported to Council separately in due course.
Council has successfully achieved another unmodified audit from the Queensland Audit
Office with the 2016/17 financial statements being signed off by the QAO in late 2017.
Council undertook a successful Enterprise Bargaining negotiation process with employee and
union representatives. This resulted in an 87% “yes” vote in June 2018 with the formal
Certified Agreement to be registered with the QIRC in coming months.
The Audit and Risk Committee has continued to add value to our compliance and
performance for governance and finance. This has included an oversight of our strategic
risks, review of key governance and financial policies, review of organisational KPIs,
development of Business Continuity Planning etc. Our two external members of the Audit and
Risk Committee in particular have added significantly to our overall governance practices.
Although not high profile, this Committee plays an important role in making sure that Council
“dots the i’s and crosses the t’s” both in governance and in the management of risk. Council’s
Internal Audit Program included internal audits on:-
o Bank reconciliations;
o Rates and utility charges; and
o Insurance strategy and insurance renewal processes.
Our organisational structure was adopted in March 2017 and came into effect in July 2017.
Our new Director Infrastructure Services and Director Environment and Sustainable
Development were appointed as well as our new Environment Manager.
We continued to focus on good governance practices and adopted or updated a range of
polices in support of that goal. These included:
o Administrative Action Complaints Process;
o Audit and Risk Committee Charter;
o Councillors' Expense Reimbursement Policy;
o Internal Audit Policy and Terms of Reference;
o Local Law Making Process;
o Public Interest Disclosure Policy and Procedure; and
o Insurance Renewal Procedure (Internal document).
Our enterprise risk management has been further developed with risk management practices
being further embedded into Council operations. The Executive Team reviews strategic risks
on a quarterly basis and operational risk registers have been established at a Departmental
level. Our comprehensive Business Continuity Plans are now complete and will be tested
soon.
Council continued to look at ways in which we can improve services. One of the most
important steps this year was the development of a Level of Service catalogue which was
adopted as part of our 2018/19 budget process. This is the first time that Council has had
service by service details of what is provided, costs, response times, benchmarking etc.

GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 16 JULY 2018
The transformation of our Workplace Health and Safety performance has been significant.
We recently undertook an external audit of our WH&S Systems and achieved a score of 74%
(up from 19% and 26% three to four years ago). We have transitioned from one of the worst
performing local governments of our size to one of the best performing local governments of
our size. We also held a major WH&S event in 2017 with the Qld WH&S Ambassador Shane
Webcke speaking to staff about the importance of WH&S.
We transitioned our ICT systems to the latest version which provided enhanced systems
capability. We also undertook an external audit of our ICT security systems and received a
detailed report on cyber-security. We have also continued to roll out our ICT Strategy to
enhance our system capabilities with the start of our property and rating system transition.
We undertook significant training and development for our middle managers with programs
focused on team leaders and supervisors. However, we still have more to do to successfully
implement an annual staff development program.
2 OTHER ISSUES
There are some other activities which are worth highlighting:
We have continued to build good working relationships with our northern neighbours, Gympie
Regional Council. This has included regular meetings at a Mayoral and executive level,
assisting each other with relevant documentation and policies, support for interview panels,
potential joint contracting etc. It is proposed to continue this co-operation with mutual
assistance for each other’s Audit & Risk Committees.
We continue to attract significant interest from other Councils as to how we are successfully
delivering good outcomes to our community. We have hosted Councils from interstate looking
at our ICT solutions, hosted local government CEOs from remote parts of Queensland and
hosted other professionals looking at our work practices.

Acknowledgement
This could not have been achieved without an incredible amount of hard work and commitment
by our Mayor, Councillors, Directors, Managers and all of our staff.
There is rightly a real sense of pride with what we have achieved in the last year, and indeed our
last 4 ½ years. I can’t speak more highly of our staff. It is only through them that we have been
able to achieve such good outcomes.
We can’t rest on our laurels. There is always more to do. The key areas of focus in 2018/19 as
part of our ongoing journey include:
Implementation of our Transport Strategy;
Finalisation of the remaining detailed Asset Management Plans;
Finalisation of our Environment Strategy;
Pursuing the State Government on Beckmans Road;
Initiation of the Cooroy Hinterland Park project
Successful completion of some high profile projects (e.g. Boardwalk, Noosaville Library etc)
Ongoing management of the Sustainable Tourism Stakeholder Reference Group
