ENCOURAGING AN INDUSTRY-LED TRANSITION FROM SINGLE-USE COFFEE CUPS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH PLASTIC FREE NOOSA · Attachment 1 - 2025-06-19 Notice of Motion - Cr Lorentson - Transition from single-use coffee cups

While some cafés such as Sunshine Social are already leading the way with low-waste, cup-free models, broader change needs more than encouragement. It requires visible leadership, coordinated support, and a commitment to walk alongside businesses. By taking practical steps now to phase out single-use coffee cups, we’re proving that small communities can voluntarily lead big change when we act early, act together, and act with purpose. Noosa is Different by Nature. Let’s lead the way, because protecting our coast, our wildlife, and our community values isn’t just the right thing to do, it’s who we are. The appetite for change is growing. After Ex-Cyclone Alfred, we saw hundreds of residents cleaning our beaches, kids learning about microplastics, and local cafés experimenting with reusable options. This momentum should be supported, not with mandates, but with leadership and encouragement. Solutions exist. Our job now is to make them more accessible, more visible, and more widely adopted, starting here in Noosa. Let’s send a clear message: Noosa will voluntarily lead Queensland’s transition away from single-use coffee cups - not because we’re told to, but because it’s who we are. If we can lead on coffee cups, then maybe we can do the same with plastic bottles or even fast fashion. Voluntary, industry-led action, backed by Council support and community values, can be a model for broader change. We are Different by Nature. Let’s lead with purpose - supporting our businesses, educating our community, and protecting the environment we love. To all Councillors and Directors | hereby notify that Cr Lorentson intends to move the motion as shown above at the Ordinary Meeting dated 19 June 2025. Chief itive Officer Date
