11   PUBLIC QUESTION TIME

     1      BRIAN O’CONNOR
            Q1: I inquire of the ‘Disappeared’ - the people of the Noosa Hinterland that Noosa
                Council through the new Town Plan says don’t exist and so I ask why does Noosa
                Council make its future planning on the basis that Pomona has a population of
                1188 in 2016, and not the 2910 figure adopted by the Australian Bureau of
                Statistics; likewise, the council says Cooroy’s population is 2680 and not 3791, and
                so-on for all the communities of the hinterland? What is the basis of these
                population estimates by Council such that it rejects the ABS as the authentic
                source of population projections for the Hinterland?
            Q2: The Town Plan states clearly in Section 15.2 that the population estimates and
                projections it has adopted are used to determine the type, scale, location and
                timing of development and the desired standards of service the council delivers,
                and so I ask whether by adopting population numbers and projections for the
                Hinterland significantly lower than those of the ABS in its principal planning
                document, is Noosa Council set to deliver inadequate facilities and services,
                smaller in scale, than otherwise would have been the case had ABS data been the
                determining factor?
