SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                    7 JUNE 2022


             includes ensuring relevant public and private interests are considered and
             nominated deadlines are being met. The Group comprises three Councillors, the
             CEO (ex officio), three Directors and the Principal Strategic Planner.”
       The correct advice from staff is that:
            The “Climate Change Response Plan” group is no longer in existence and
             accordingly no appointment is now required.
            The “Climate Change Adaption Plan (CCAP) Project Control Group (PCG)” is
             incorrectly named and should read: “Climate Change Response Project Control
             Group”;
            The Climate Change Response Plan Community Reference Group was
             inadvertently left off the previous report and is now being added to the Councillor
             appointments via the recommendation noted above.

       Supporting information is below for the Items A, B in the Recommendation:
       A.    Climate Change Response Project Control Group
             Provides high-level guidance and direction to the project team on implement of the
             CCRP, including assessing options for project delivery and methods for community
             involvement. The PCG assists with ensuring relevant public and private interests
             are being appropriately considered and cross-departmental input is provided.
             It is proposed that Cr Stewart – Mayor be appointed as Chair, and Cr Stockwell and
             Cr Wegener be appointed to the Climate Change Response PCG.
       B.    Climate Change Response Plan Community Reference Group
             Council established a community reference group in relation to its Climate Change
             Response Plan to assist with climate planning and contribute to practical solutions.
             The establishment of the group included investigating options for the formation of a
             supporting Youth Reference Group, or the like, to help contribute to the group.
             Council sought nominations from the community via an EOI process and appointed
             members from a broad cross-section of the community and this included youth
             representatives from the Noosa Environmental Education Hub.
             It is proposed that Cr Wilkie be appointed as Chair, and Cr Stockwell and Cr
             Wegener be appointed to the Climate Change Response Plan Community
             Reference Group
2.     Girraween Sporting Complex
       There are two main external user groups that staff meet with on an “as needs” basis.
       There are no formal meetings (as there are for the Noosa District and Cooroy Sports
       Complexes). As there is no formal committee, it does not require a Councillor appointee.
       Councillors can be invited as guests to the informal meetings if the need arises.

Previous Council Consideration

2020 and again in May 2022.
