GENERAL COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS
12 MARCH 2018 – Crs. Frank Wilkie (Chair), Jess Glasgow, Ingrid Jackson, Joe Jurisevic,
Frank Pardon, Brian Stockwell and Tony Wellington.



3    NOOSA MAIN BEACH EVENTS POLICY
     Cr Pardon declared a perceived conflict of interest in this matter (as defined in section 173 of the Local
     Government Act 2009) due to his membership of Tourism Noosa. Cr Pardon believed he could
     consider this item impartially and in the public interest and therefore remained in the meeting room for
     the debate and decision on this matter.


     Moved:              Cr Wellington
     Seconded:           Cr Stockwell
     That Council note the report by the Property Manager to the Services & Organisation
     Committee Meeting dated 6 March 2018 and adopt the Noosa Main Beach Events Policy
     provided as Attachment 1 to the Report with the following changes:
     1.    Under ‘NUMBER OF EVENTS’ delete the current wording in the first dot point and
           replace with:
           The events approved for Noosa Main Beach East will focus on those which intrinsically
           require the beach location for their activities (generally sporting, life saving, swimming
           and surfing events) and there will be a transition of cultural festival/food festival events
           away from Main Beach East towards Noosa Lions Park and/or Noosa Woods and/or
           Noosa Main Beach West, with the intention to eventually achieve no cultural
           festival/food festival events at Noosa Main Beach East;and
     2.    replace the word “annually” with “each calendar year” and the words “each year” with
           “each calendar year” wherever they appear in the policy.



     AMENDMENT
     Moved:              Cr Jackson
     Seconded:           Cr Glasgow
     3.    Under ‘NUMBER OF EVENTS’ amend the second dot point by changing the reference
           to ‘7 tourism events’ to ‘5 tourism events’ to align with the transition in the above dot
           point.
                                                                                               Lost.
