Environment

     •    Noxious weed eradication (Seteria) growing on the verges and overcrowding
     •    Balance between development and environment
     •    Climate change / flooding, fires. Preservation of housing not allowing the region to become a new Gold Coast
     •    Environmental protection
     •    Over development and loss of wildlife corridors
     •    Losing the serenity if vast development begins with strong growth
     •    Keeping open spaces and green environment
     •    The Noosa River and how it's used. So many people want to use it, we have to find a balance
     •    Noosa Council holding firm on the stance of trees and bees not over development
     •    Environment, maintaining the green
     •    Council holding their firm stand on conservation and preservation
     •    Beautifully kept parks and amenities.
     •    We have limited land for more expansion. Where will it end?
     •    Destruction of forest and habitat
     •    Upset with Noosa council for allowing developers to destroy the natural habitat
     •    Too much money spent on Arborists and horticulturist to do jobs that normal maintenance men could do and
          no supervision by Council while doing job or after to see the debris they leave behind to become a fire hazard
          as it dies
     •    Enjoy the local habitat and surrounds. Please consider the area before allowing too much development, the
          area will just become another flashy dive
     •    We are losing a lot of natural habitat due to over-development
     •    Policies on environment not significant enough. Probably never think about clearing trees for a shopping
          centre. superior art gallery is needs. Cultural centre is needed

Governance

     •    Council to do something in the rural communities, be present.
     •    Community Consultation - will the new council listen
     •    Professional Competent staff in the council
     •    Council members with enough knowledge of how to run a council
     •    Keeping up the integrity of Noosa Shire Council
     •    Getting the right people in council to manage the problem we are going to facing very shortly. Can't stop
          people coming in and buying up real estate. It's the developers that follow them in and see multi-millions in
          the area
     •    They need to concentrate on other areas - not just Hastings Street
     •    Quality political leadership
     •    Funding and upgrades for the Noosa area
     •    Rural fire brigade is great here Would be great to have our Noosa Mayor being 'informally interviewed' about
          the goings on of our regions and any initiatives happening
     •    Don't know what the council is planning. Don't know what the council is planning as far as expansion and
          duel occupancy. I only know what I hear my parents say.
     •    Too struck with their town planning, they won't allow Chemist warehouse. Understaffed in Council as it takes
          too long for any approve decisions, Information services need to be more online, so we don't have to always
          front up to council. they need better online information
     •    Please take notice of people who take the time to give you feedback.
     •    I think council is bound by too much red tape and it slows their responsiveness to critical problems.
