                         The Housing Stakeholder Reference Group is not a decision-making
                         body.
   Council's             Noosa Council is committed to working towards an inclusive Noosa
   commitment to the     community where everybody has access to safe, secure housing they
   group                 can afford. In endorsing a draft Housing Strategy Noosa Council is
                         committed to forming a Housing Stakeholder Reference Group and
                         respectfully considering the views and recommendations of that group in
                         making decisions that affect the regulation or delivery of improved
                         housing choice within the Shire.

  Timeframes             The first meeting of the HSRG would occur before the end of the 21/22
                         financial year.

   Reporting to Council  The Housing Strategy will be subject to formal monitoring every two
                         years. However in between, reports are likely to be presented on an as-
                         needed basis when Council decision making is required (for example on
                         planning scheme amendments, the commitment of resources or other
                         major initiatives).

                                                                                     Page 45 of 46
