                     Motion
                     Moved:            Cr Amelia Lorentson
                     Seconded:         Cr Karen Finzel
                     That Council:
                     A. Request the CEO to provide a report on the process followed for the
                        Noosaville Foreshore Infrastructure Management Plan, which includes an
                        overview of the procurement process, identification of risks, reasons for any
                        scope changes or variations, and details on resources utilized (staff,
                        consultants, contractors). The report should also cover industry benchmarking
                        and key lessons learned, demonstrating the effectiveness of the approach
                        taken in developing the masterplan.
                     B. As part of the 2025/26 Budget development, Council receives a report in 2025
                        on the feasibility, scope, and resourcing required to establish a framework for
                        reviewing the effectiveness of outsourcing arrangements (contractors,
                        consultancies, etc.). This framework should assess key contracts and
                        consultancies across areas such as value for money, service levels,
                        procurement and contracting practices, and internal versus external
                        resourcing. The framework should align with the Council’s Long Term
                        Financial Plan, the upcoming Revenue Diversification and Optimisation Plan,
                        and the principles outlined in the Financial Sustainability Policy.
