8. PUBLIC QUESTION TIME
8.1 ANDY TAYLOR
QUESTION 1
With consideration to the previously provided engineer's report for the gravel road section of
Cooroy Mountain Road does Noosa Council intend to allocate any funds to the repair of the
gravel road section of Cooroy Mountain Road in the 2026-2027 year budget?
RESPONSE PROVIDED BY SHAUN WALSH, DIRECTOR INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES
Budget submissions for capital expenditure for the 26/27 Financial Year are currently being
prepared, so at this stage it is not possible to determine if capital funding will be allocated to
Cooroy Mountain Road in the 2026/27 financial year. The engineering report presented is
noted and the request for sealing the remaining section of Cooroy Mountain Road will be
considered along with other similar requests on other parts of the unsealed road network.
Council maintains approximately 200km of unsealed roads across the region and prioritisation
for upgrades to gravel roads considers many factors such as vehicle type and volumes,
average speeds, crash history, road geometry, road function and road performance. Council
also undertakes maintenance in the form of grading, pavement patching, drainage works and
vegetation management.
QUESTION 2
Given the confirmed risk as outlined in the provided independent engineer's report for the
gravel road section of Cooroy Mountain Road can council confirm the current priority ranking
of the gravel road section of Cooroy Mountain Road for repair?
RESPONSE PROVIDED BY SHAUN WALSH, DIRECTOR INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES
Council notes the engineers report and confirms the road has been inspected by experienced
engineering officers. There are no immediate defects requiring urgent repair, but it is noted
that the road does require all users to drive to conditions, consistent with all unsealed roads
in the Shire. Council maintains its unsealed road network on a cyclical maintenance program
for production and cost efficiencies in accordance with adopted service standards. Requests
for upgrade are prioritised as outlined previously. It is noted that sectional upgrades, as
opposed to complete length upgrade, provides a more cost-effective treatment of specific
hazards for any future upgrade works.

ORDINARY MEETING MINUTES 19 FEBRUARY 2026
8.2 PAT SPICER
QUESTION 1
What specific reports, studies, or expert advice did Council rely on when Mayor Wilkie
announced on 1 October 2025 that, after 25 units are built at 64 Lake Macdonald Drive, the
site could “support potentially another 60 dwellings”, across the two remaining lots?
RESPONSE PROVIDED BY ANITA LAKELAND, ACTING DIRECTOR STRATEGY AND
ENVIRONMENT
The reference made in Mayor Wilkie's statement on 1 October 2025 to the site “supporting
potentially another 60 dwellings” was based on advice provided by Council’s expert planning
staff. No specific reports or studies were undertaken. In estimating the potential for 60
dwellings, Council’s planning staff took into account the Council resolution of 23 January
2025. This resolution requires that any process considering future uses of the remaining two
sites must evaluate not only housing options, but also open space, cultural heritage,
community uses, landscape and amenity, and other relevant land use planning matters. The
process will involve community consultation.
The meeting adjourned at 10.05am.
The meeting resumed at 10.10am.
