GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                                     12 OCTOBER 2020

          SS
         13/09/2020 | Road maintenance with relevant training. Residident in Cooroy are two international experts in
                    course programs viz Centre for Pavement Education
         13/09/2020 | On george steet in tewantin children & adults walk on both sides of the footpaths i would like to
                    see all the huge gumtrees cut down have seen many branches fall & nearly miss people &
                    children walking to school & home & cars they are a death trap i love trees but gumtrees
                    should never be in suburbia
         13/09/2020 | Review existing Council programs to align them in support of Noosa’s unique positioning on the
                    Coast . | have observed things going downhill with the green natural assets that have attracted
                    people to Noosa as a high value niche location for generations. Eg street greenery being
                   removed and not replaced or road plantings pruned to 1/4 of its size so the bushes never really
                    recover? Destruction of mangrove fish nursenes. Wail to wall houses under the guise of
                    retirement estates with no green space. Simple things that change the look and feel of the
                    place. We'll not do well becoming like the Gold Coast overrun with inappropriate development
                    either.  Support small business and keep big corporate influences out of Council
         13/09/2020 | Parking. It is rediculous that there are so many spaces in and around Noosa/Hasting St that
                    cars could readily park - but can't as they would get a fine. As a long term Noosa local. Do not
                   tell me to catch a bus to enjoy my back yard. Provide priority parking for locals? Local sticker?
                    Lots of options. Lots of spaces in the surrounding areas that for some bizarre reason Council
                     Says No parking. Council envoys the revenue of parking tickets. Very sad.
         14/09/2020 | equal spending on ALL parks.....why is all the money spent on areas in Hastings St and
                    Gympie Tce which are seen by non-rate paying tourists.....yet very little spent on parks that
                    local ratepayers spend their time (other than just general maintenance, mowing, etc). general
                      pgrade should be done as is in the tourist areas.
                   Roads and the environment and safety of the animal population of the shire.
         14/09/2020 | If the Tourism and Economic Levy were utilised to cover the maintenance costs of all ceremony
                    sites in the Noosa Shire, and the permit fees for ceremonies in Noosa were brought in line with
                    the Sunshine Coast, or less, this will bring great economic benefit to my business, and to all the
                   wedding industry and tourism businesses in Noosa.
                    Undercover options/Multipurpose / wedding chapel — A large and beautiful undercover area at
                   Noosa Woods, Chaplin Park, and the Noosa Botanic Gardens would bring quality weddings to
                    the Noosa Region
                    Funding to Tourism Noosa to SUPPORT the wedding and honeymoon industry.
         14/09/2020 | SUPPORT FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES
                   As a small business owner with a wedding industry business, Noosa WEDDING PERMIT FEES
                   ARE OUTRAGEOUS. These huge fees are discouraging couples from booking and staying in
                    Noosa. As a provider of Small and intimate weddings, to pay $567 is just a 'No Way’, to stand
                   on a piece of grass, which is not exclusive - they may have to share with picnicers who pay
                    nothing to be there. | would like to see the Tourism and Economic Levy utilised towards
                   maintenance of the x4 Groves, and ALL other ceremony sites. | would like to see FREE
                    permits on beaches, where no maintenance is required, and a fee to cover the cost of admin, in
                    the range of $75 for my 6 people to stand for half an hour.
                   So - TOURISM AND ECONOMIC LEVY towards maintenance of the Groves (3 of which are not
                    properly maintained anyway)
                    FUNDING TO TOURISM NOOSA for promotion of weddings (happy if these are biosphere
                    wedding and honeymoon options)
                    MULTIPURPOSE BUILDINGS SUITABLE AS A CHAPEL - Noosa Woods, Chaplin Park and
                    Botanic Gardens would be ideal.
                    | am receiving more inquiries than ever for elopement and small weddings - Queensland
                    couples want to come to Noosa for their wedding and honeymoon, and all the money they have
                    saved up for the destination wedding overseas, will now be spent on themselves. This is an
                   amazing opportunity to encourage couples to come to Noosa and enjoy our biosphere, and
                   mary in the most beautiful location in the world. | NEED JUST A LITTLE BIT OF HELP -
                    REDUCED WEDDING PERMIT FEES
                    situations, low paid workers.
                   Supporting Local Business, especially the Wedding Industry that brings a great impact on the
                    Noosa econo
