                   Fenced off dog park. Rego fees are extravagant & we get nothing but a couple of poo bags, |
                   supply my own. Over 10,000 Registered dog, we need a fenced dog park
          —_       beyond Pomona, but we do love a good revenue raiserof fining owners, don't we? Let alone

                   Noosa's dog registration fees on comparison to Gympie and Sunshine Coast Councils. Not all
                    residents live by the beach. Consider your Hinterland Co ity too.
          9/09/2020 | Road and park , beach access maintenance, environment, committed to supporting police with
                   heavy fines for wrongful acts be it animals, public nuisances like perverts at beaches and

                     Stop taking pay rises and not delivering what co ity asks for.
          9/09/2020 | councillors wages need to be reacessed and reduced. the funds for these salleries arrive from
                   people having to go to work. the jobs the people have for a big percetage of the population, will
                   never equal what councillors get. how can councillors equate this, i have never seen a
                   councillor darken my door step in the time i have live in this shire. people have to strugle to
                   work, find work, where their sallaries are decided for them. yet we have no choice what
                    exhorbitant rates you get as councillors. it really amazes me that a few golden people in our
                    society, ones whom claim they work for us, are able to select their own salary. and councillors
                    think that is ok. yet when we make a point it is completely ignored. we have three levels of
                   government in this country, all have their heads in the trough. we have no choice of how much
                     Day and conditions councilors get. that is repulsive.
                    CHARGING US THE TOURISM LEVY
                    Environment levy for adaptation against climate change and to mitigate the impacts of climate
                    change in the shire

         11/09/2020 | The time has arived where local inhabitants make the decision whether fish are taken out of
                   the ocean and river systems for unrestrained, unself-regulated, unsustainable, recreational
                   fishing practices. Research could be funded to see what fish species are left in our waters and
                    the relationship these species have on the health of the entire ecosystem and other species
                   dependent on their survival - for example; dolphins, sea eagles, brahmin kites, albatrosses and
                   migrating terns. In the endless drive for Tourism numbers this beautiful region will increasingly
                   be overrun by day-tnipping fishermen, and spear-fishermen, from the extended Brisbane region,
                   and cashed-up amateurs utilising local fishing charter operations. In combination, all viable
                   species of sea-life are being decimated from local waters, reefs and river systems. Solid
                   environmental research would undoubtably propose that all of Noosa's Oceanic, Reef and
                   River systems be classified as No-Take Zones, allowing the aquatic ecosystem to recover its
                    integrity and function . Articles have indicated that the Noosa River's underwater landscape is
                   an environmental nightmare of snagged fishing lines and tackle. You may counter that its the
