5    NOOSA FM LEASE AT THE J
     Committee Recommendation
     Moved:            Cr Pardon
     Seconded:         Cr Jurisevic
     That Council note the report by the Community Facilities Manager to the Services &
     Organisation Committee Meeting dated 11 December 2018 and agree to:
     A.   Extinguish the current Noosa FM lease at The J and replace it with a new 2 year lease
          (based on Council’s standard lease terms and conditions) with the option of further
          three x 1-year terms at Council’s discretion and an annual rental of $10,500 6,000 pa
          (plus CPI increases);
     B.   Apply the exception to the requirement for the tendering of the lease under Section 236
          (1) (b) (ii) of the Local Government Regulation 2012, as the lease is to a community
          organisation;
     C.   Consider any financial implications of this new lease arrangement in BR3, and
     D.   Reconsider Council’s position of providing both a rental subsidy and a Community

          comes up for renewal in the 2019/20 community grants round.
