ORDINARY MEETING AGENDA                                                                  19 MAY 2022


10.   CLOSED SESSION




11.   PUBLIC QUESTION TIME


      1.    BRIAN O’CONNOR
      Q1: With just a few parcels of land available at the Cooroy Business Park and industrial park
          and the council actively examining these sites for affordable housing, will Noosa Council
          undertake a study into the likely take-up of available commercial land in the Noosa
          Hinterland over the next 10 years, with a view to ascertaining where to locate and rezone
          suitable additional and flood-free land for rural enterprise and commercial activities so
          as to grow and diversify the local economy?
      Q2:    Noosa Council regularly must deal with complaints about inappropriate backyard
            businesses creating nuisance for neighbours or wanting to expand in-situ. When the
            council acts on complaints, or refuses expansion, what is to happen to these businesses
            or where can they relocate? Similarly, work-from-home desktop computer businesses
            and so-called 'next-generation' digital start-ups look to co-locate to a business hub
            offering creative and practical synergies of co-habitation. What is Noosa Council doing
            to facilitate this type of job-creation economic activity in the hinterland, where a younger
            cohort of people is moving for lifestyle and a relatively cheaper mortgage?




12.   NEXT MEETING

      The next Ordinary Meeting will be held on 16 June 2022 at the Council Chambers, 9 Pelican
      Street, Tewantin commencing at 5pm.
