  QUESTION 1
  How is the tender cost being funded for remediation and subdivision for 62/64 Lake Macdonald
  Drive, Cooroy?

  Response provided by Director Strategy & Environment, Kim Rawlings
  As part of the Council resolution on 20 January 2025, Council voted to “Support advancing the
  subdivision and remediation works subject to securing a loan facility, whilst continuing to actively
  pursue grant funding opportunities". Grant applications have been submitted to relevant State
  and Federal bodies with responses from these bodies yet to be finalised. Depending on the
  outcome of these grant applications, an application may be made to the Queensland Treasury
  Corporation (QTC) for a loan facility to fund the balance of the project costs.




  QUESTION 2 Thank you for the comprehensive list of land, other than 62/64 Lake Macdonald
  Drive owned by Noosa Council in Cooroy at the July meeting. Could you please add to this
  list, so it is an exhaustive list, including land labelled as “lazy land” as 62 (now 62/64) Lake
  Macdonald Drive Cooroy was labelled “lazy land”?
  Response provided by Director Strategy & Environment, Kim Rawlings
  Council does not label land 'lazy' as all land is allocated for a purpose. As stated in the last
  question Public Question on 17 July 2025, Council owned land is mostly for parks, environmental
  protection and land for community facilities such as libraries and grounds sporting activities with
  much land constrained by natural hazards. The land in bold in the following table has been added
  since the last meeting in July. There are some Park areas in Cooroy that are owned by the State
  of Queensland and not by Council.




  Meeting was adjourned at 5.45pm.
