GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                                      12 OCTOBER 2020

         27/09/2020 | Introduce more user
5	1	1	2	1	6	962	577	90	41	81	pays to support the budget revenue. E.g. Apart from paid visitor parking
                    with a ticket issued at boom gate on entry to car parks - first three hours free with a stamp from
                    a local business on heir ticket - also introduce he need for paid Parking permits for permanent
                    residents. Any ongoing kerbside parking is queried. All properties need to provide on site
                    vehicle parking. If not all vehicles can be accommodated within the property, a 3/6/9/12 month
                    permit is bought from Council and placed on windscreen. This will increase NSC revenue and
                    assist in reducing congestion in narrow streets such as on Noosa Hill - see Attunga Heights -
                    and will also reduce the use of enclosed garages being used as habitable space. It won't be
                    popular with all; however, with a diminishing rate base, all should contribute.
         27/09/2020 | council needs to recognise our economy has to diversify. as such ratepayers who are not
                    related to toursim directly should have the option to direct the levy for tourism directly to
                   economic development. its nght the ratepayer decides how they best meet their social
                    obligation to invest in this economy rather than council. Economic development desperately
                    needs    funding.
         27/09/2020 | Toilets- abysmal toilet facilities for a supposed tourist hot
5	1	1	4	1	12	1509	1124	89	41	88	spot. Toilets are old, poorly
                    maintained & seldom cleaned. Also not enough toilets. Mt. Cooroora attracts many, inc. King Of
                    Mt. No toilets- bush is full of waste. Plumbing is there- water/sewage line. Just needs Council to
                    act.
         27/09/2020 | For the foreseeable future, until there is more clarity about impacts of Covid 19, Council say
                    thanks, but no thanks to any State Govemment grants or gifts (eg. from developers) that mean
                    the need for on going expenditure from Council budget to maintain the infrastructure. An
                    example, is the State Govememnt grant for the kids playground in Cooroy. Graciously, decline
                    it. The world has changed since NSC was given this grant. Unfortunate timing as in today's
                   world, ratepayers/Council do not need further maintenance expenses coming from installing
                   this playground at this time. The Qid state government most likely would welcome the return of
                   the money for better use elsewhere. During the GFC many developers across the greater
                    Sunshine Coast region were gifting parks, lakes, retaining walls to SCRC. They shifted the on
                    going maintenance burden from themselves to Council. From now, NSC needs to say no to
                    everything that potentially means further unnecassary expenditure. Let's work at maintaining
                    infrastructure we already have before taken on more expenses. Thanks.
         27/09/2020 | Support for the wedding industry , who provide over $65,000,000 of revenue annually to the
                   Noosa area.
                   Reducing wedding site fees to be inline with other shires wedding sites. To spend on
                    maintaining those sites. To build an all weather wedding chapel in Noosa woods. To spend on
                    Promotion to grow the wedding industry to be the premier wedding destination in Australia. To
                    make the Noosa Wedding Organisation a stake holder in decisions affecting the wedding
                    industry .
         27/09/2020 | Better equipped playgrounds and parks that refiect age group for that area.Noosa Heads and
                   Noosa Junction prime examples These areas too expensive for very young families and yet
                    swings and slides have been upgraded as in A.W.Dan Admiral from a safety view as
                    over20years old but a drive along Leslie Drive on school moming will see every secondary
                    school represented! These kids want half basketball courts and skate parks ,not swings and
                    slides!No more sharing playgrounds with dogs off leash.Too dangerous and stop kids doing
                      eait outdoor p S its.
         27/09/2020 | The Hinterland.
                   The hinteriand is being impacted by large scale development and population increase. Prepare
                    for the impact before the problems arse. The hinterland roads are inadequate for the increase
                    in traffic flow especially the dirt roads. | could go on but | wont bore you.

         27/09/2020 | Creating some outdoor pavilions that the community can use on a pay per use basis. They
                    could be used for weddings, jazz festivals, art exhibitions. Suggested locations Noosa Woods,
                   Noosa Botanical gardens.
                    Also like Council to ensure maintenance on the wedding Groves. They are not well maintained
                     despite the high fees paid by couples to use them for wedding ceremonies.

                                                                                         Page 15
