EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Go Noosa Holiday Program is a key initiative within the Noosa Transport Strategy 2017–2027
(the Strategy), designed to enhance the transport experience for both residents and visitors and is
funded via the Sustainable Transport Levy (the Levy). The Levy is an essential resource for funding
initiatives to sustainably manage congestion, alleviate pressure on the road network, and address
parking challenges throughout the Noosa region. The program is funded to the amount of $900,000
largely through the Transport Levy. Despite rising costs associated with delivering the Go Noosa
initiatives, the Levy has remained unchanged since 2018 and is currently in deficit.
The viability of existing programs should be assessed to ensure the Levy funds are utilised effectively
to continue developing the Strategy initiatives. This interim report focuses on the Free Bus program
and the Council Cabs and Flexi-link services due to impending funding and operations deadlines. A
fuller report concerning the whole program including comprehensive data, will be presented later this
year.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Director Infrastructure Services to the General Committee
Meeting dated 20 January 2024 regarding the Go Noosa Program and
A. Advise Translink that Council wishes to cease the Free Weekend Bus Services and the Go
Noosa Free Bus service for peak seasons in light of 50cent fares and authorise the CEO to
negotiate an amended Go Noosa agreement with Translink concerning remaining Go Noosa
services;
B. Undertake a community information program jointly with Translink to advise patrons of changes
to the bus service;
C. Note that a review has commenced of the Council Cabs and Flexilink services to assess their
effectiveness and return on investment in preparation for 2025-26 financial year budget; and
D. Note the proposed traffic management changes at the corner of Noosa Drive and Hastings Street
as outlined in this report.
REPORT
1. Operational Summary
Free Buses under the Go Noosa program continued on weekends and peak periods over the recent
Christmas and New Year period consistent with previous years. Recently State Government
announced the ongoing implementation of 50-cent public transport fares across the region. In
addition, the State has commenced rollout of Smart Ticketing and contactless payment, aimed to
replace Go Cards. These two state wide initiatives have largely negated the need for Council funded
Free Buses, as it also provides a key incentive for patrons to use public transport and assist in
congestion reduction.

GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING 20 JANUARY 2025
The August 2024 Go Noosa evaluation report presented to Council's July meeting outlined the need
for review of Council Cabs and Flexilink services due to low patronage and increasing costs. It is
intended to commence this review for the 2025-26 budget to ensure optimal use of funds generated
by Council's Transport Levy.
In addition, parking changes are proposed at the corner of Noosa Drive and Hastings Street,
including the relocation of the existing loading zone located, widened footpath and increased
motorbike parking. These measures were trialled over the Christmas peak period to observe
potential improvement to traffic delays while prioritising pedestrian safety. These changes have been
favourably received by the local business community and have been seen to successfully improve
pedestrian and traffic flow.
These three Go Noosa program initiatives require immediate evaluation and are presented ahead of
a more comprehensive report which will include a review of the full program including evaluations
of:
• Bus patronage
• Lions Park overflow parking
• Main Beach drop-off zone
• Park-and-Ride services
• Wayfinding signage
Free Buses in Light of the 50-Cent Public Transport Scheme
The introduction of the Queensland Government's 50-cent flat rate for public transport has been
confirmed by Government as ongoing and has prompted a need to reassess the Go Noosa Free
Bus program, which is funded by Council through Translink as the service provider.
A review has been conducted to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of continuing the Free Bus program.
Key aspects include:
• 50-cent flat-rate public transport scheme provides significant incentive for public transport users
and negates the need for the Free Bus program. Data received from Translink shows 9.2% uplift
on weekends and 22.8% on weekdays arising from the 50-cent program since its inception.
• Preliminary estimates suggest potential savings may be realised if the Free Bus program is
removed from Translink agreements, which is currently funded by the Transport Levy. This
contracted amount is commercial in confidence but the amount is not insignificant.
• Consideration needs to be given to retaining the Go Noosa Loop service (between park-and-ride
areas and Hastings Street) as a free service, as it is unclear whether Translink would provide
this service at the 50-cent rate.
• Subject to negotiations with Translink, retention of the Go Noosa Loop service to park and ride
stations may mean that Council maybe able to alter the way this service is provided, including
use of smaller buses. This aspect requires further detailed consideration with Translink, the
Transport Operation (Passenger Transport Act) including any use of public bus stops
Following negotiations with Translink the full financial savings will be clearer.
Any changes to transport arrangements will need to be fully communicated to the public and a
communications program is planned to advise of altered arrangements.
Review of Council Cabs and Flex-link Services
Council operates a Flexi-link service between Boreen Point and Tewantin for people with limited
transport options and connects passengers with existing public transport services for onward
journeys. Council Cabs provides affordable door-to-door transport service for eligible
residents. A comprehensive review of the Council Cabs and Flexi-link services has commenced to
evaluate its usage and cost to the Council. Key components of the review include:
Page 5 of 93
Page 6
GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING 20 JANUARY 2025
• Patronage and cost.
• Alternative services now available by community and charity services.
• Investigating existing State Government programs, such as the Community Transport Program
and The Taxi Subsidy Scheme (TSS), to determine how these can support the transition.
• Benchmarking other on-demand services implemented by Translink in other regional localities
in Queensland
• Direct engagement with existing users.
• Consideration of alternatives including termination of the schemes and/ or replacement with new
initiatives
For the 2023-2024 financial year, the combined total Council expenditure (ex GST) for Flexi-link and
Council Cabs was $58,491.44.
Parking Changes at the Corner of Noosa Drive and Hastings Street
A trial over the Christmas period of the following traffic management changes were undertaken in
Noosa Drive and Hastings Street to improve pedestrian and traffic flows:
• Implementation of footpath widening by relocating the existing loading zone and removal of
parking spaces in Noosa Drive outside Ben & Jerry's to enhance pedestrian capacity and
accessibility, aligning with current pedestrian flow demands. Additionally, the removal of parallel
parking near the Hastings Street roundabout once again help alleviates forward queuing, thereby
improving traffic flow and reducing congestion.
• Reallocated the existing parking area in Hasting Street outside Rococo's to dedicated motorcycle
parking to enhance traffic flow by reducing congestion caused by vehicles attempting to parallel
park at this location. This adjustment minimises disruptions to the Hastings Street and Noosa
Drive roundabout by mitigating immediate forward queuing, enabling smoother traffic movements
through the roundabout.
These changes were favourably received by the Hastings Street Association and as a result is
proposed to continue as a trial for three months in order to monitor and receive feedback during this
time. In the event that ongoing feedback is positive, these changes may be rolled out permanently.
Council staff recommend Councillors inspect the locality during the trial period, and a mutually
convenient time will be arranged by Infrastructure Services staff.
New Sustainable Transport Initiatives
It is anticipated that forecast changes will provide a significant release of financial and resource
capacity to advance other new sustainable and contemporary transport initiatives that focus on
emerging priorities. Opportunities are currently being assessed by staff and will be subject to future
reporting and Council decision.
One emerging area is electric mobility. As its meeting of 17 October 2024, Council resolved a Notice
of Motion concerning e-bikes and e-scooters, including e-bike rider education as part of the Go
Noosa program and referred future funding requirements to budget deliberations. E-bikes and e-
scooters have the potential to be a significant new mobility means to reduce congestion in Noosa
and is supported by the Noosa Transport Strategy. At the moment resources are not available to
advance response strategies around this emerging transport form.
If funding capacity is made available, Council resources could be made available to explore initiatives
which may include:
• Establishing safe infrastructure for e-mobility, such as designated lanes and parking areas.
• Running safety and education campaigns.
• Partnering with the State Government to advocate for the revival or expansion of rebate
schemes.

Page 8
GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING 20 JANUARY 2025
The Transport Levy currently operates at a deficit, with funds raised not matching annual costs. The
shortfall is funded from general revenue. The report recommendations are seeking to reduce costs
through timely review of existing services, which have opportunity for more cost effective
delivery. Following further review and negotiation full financial benefit can be modelled and included
in budget planning for the FY 25/26.
Risk & Opportunities
The report recommendations seek to address cost risks arising in the Go Noosa Program. There is
an opportunity to redirect released resources and funds to arising and new programs addressing
contemporary transport issues.

Provision of Parks and Landscaping Services / Reports to Council
Attachments 1. Attachment 1 - RP000073 (Refresh) - Evaluation Workbook
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In November 2022, the Council resolved to approve Contract No. RP00073 Register of Pre-Qualified
Suppliers (ROPS) for Provision of Parks and Landscaping Services for a total of five terms of twelve
(12) months each, total of five (5) years ending 30 November 2027. The ROPS consisted of sixteen
(16) suppliers across the following categories:
1. Landscape Construction and Maintenance Services
2. Irrigation and Watering
3. Turf and Turf Care Services
4. Minor Mowing and Slashing Services
5. Landscape Management and Supervision Services
In this instance it has been determined prudent to seek a further refresh of this ROPS by inviting
new suppliers to be added to the ROPS to give Council more contractor resources to perform the
services. Suppliers who have already been selected as a pre-qualified supplier under the ROPS
need not to submit a tender in response to this invitation unless the supplier wished to change some
aspect of their offering.
Strategic Procurement Plan and Probity Plan was developed.
In accordance with Council Procurement Policy and procedure, an Invitation to Tender (ITT) was
initiated and attracted twenty-two (22) responses. Whilst Council encouraged all capable suppliers
to tender, Council intends to utilise this ROPS to encourage the development of competitive local
business and industry. This may result in Council giving preference to local suppliers over non-local
suppliers when engaging suppliers from the ROPS.
This ROPS is a register of suppliers that are pre-qualified and capable of responding to the Council’s
requirements in a timely manner; and where the Council can either:
1. directly engage a supplier from the ROPS on an as required basis utilising the rates provided
within the Schedule of Pricing or on other rates as agreed; or
2. request quote(s) from one or more suppliers on the ROPS on an as required basis for fixed
term services utilising the rates provided within the Schedule of Pricing or on other rates or
lump sum price as agreed.
Inclusion onto this ROPS does not provide a guarantee of work during the term of this Contract. The
tender evaluation panel completed the evaluation process and considered 16 new suppliers listed to
be added to the existing list of suppliers. With the addition of these refreshed new suppliers, the
ROPS will now consist of a total 31 suppliers.

Finance
Parks and Landscaping services are engaged on an as needs basis under a schedule of rates
utilising existing budget from capital and operational expenditure. Historical expenditure for services
was up to $269.5k per year, and it is anticipated that the expenditure on this ROPS will continue to
be up to $300k per year.
Risk & Opportunities
The establishment of a ROPS reduces the risks associated with engaging these services ensuring
that approved suppliers have the appropriate insurances.
The ROPS also is an effective way to reduce the workload on both Council and contractors to
undertake work in a timely manner, while still ensuring compliance with Council’s Procurement
Policy.
The development of a Panel Management Plan will provide internal staff guidance in relation to the
selection of contractors from the panel and assessment of contractor performance.
Safety Risks Mitigation
The Suppliers fail to ensure the work is conducted Prior to commencement of services, the Suppliers
safely and in accordance with minimum standards. management plans, Safe Work Method Statements,
Job Hazard Analysis (or similar) and other
documentation will be submitted, reviewed, and
accepted by Council.
Council will undertake surveillance, regular safety
audits and inspections throughout the service
delivery period.

8.3 COMMUNITY GRANTS POLICY - REVISED
Author Community Connections Manager, Alison Hamblin
Community Services Department
Index ECM/26.17 Community Funding/Grants
Attachments 1. Attachment 1 - Community Grants Policy for Endorsement
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Community Grants Program was created so Council can support local not-for-profit
organisations to deliver important projects and events, build organisational capacity, and develop
and maintain local community infrastructure. Funded projects help deliver on Council’s strategic
goals and key initiatives identified in the Noosa Council Corporate Plan, Noosa Council Social
Strategy 2015 and other subordinate strategies and plans.
The Community Grants program has been running in its current form since 2014 with minor changes.
The Community Grants Policy was revised and adopted in May 2020. Since inception, interest in the
program has been high and is always fully subscribed in each financial year.
A review was commissioned in 2023 to understand whether the community grants program is
responding to the needs of the community and delivering on Council's strategies and policies and
their desired outcomes whilst also providing best practice community grants management. The
Community Grants Policy was reviewed as part of this process.
The review included consultation with a range of stakeholders including community organisations,
external grants makers, staff and Councillors. The review identified key issues and made a series of
recommendations which have informed the policy revisions and relevant guidelines. The resultant
revised Community Grants Policy is now reflective of contemporary grants management practices.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Community Connection Manager to the General Committee on
the 20 January 2025 and approve the revised Community Grants Policy provided at Attachment 1 to
the report.
REPORT
This report seeks Council’s approval to amend the Community Grants Policy following a
comprehensive review of the program's governance, practices, purpose and impact.
1. Background
Noosa Council provides a range of services to support not-for-profit organisations to meet
community needs in the Noosa Shire. These services include assisting organisations to obtain
additional funds through the Community Grants Program (including RADF) which are funded through
the annual budget process, promoting external grant opportunities and providing advice and help for
organisations to apply for non-Council grant opportunities.
The Community Grants Program has been operating largely in its current form since de-
amalgamation in 2014 with some minor changes. It provides funding for non-for-profit organisations
to conduct a variety of initiatives that benefit Noosa residents, including facility upgrades, new
equipment, community event and projects that enhance social inclusion and wellbeing. From 2015
to 2024 there has been over 800 applications received by Noosa Council and over $10 million
Page 18 of 93
Page 19
GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING 20 JANUARY 2025
distributed to eligible community organisations. The grant program aligns with Council's Corporate
Plan 2023–2028, the Noosa Social Strategy 2015, and supporting strategies such as the Sport and
Active Recreation Plan and the Cultural Plan. These initiatives aim to address human social needs,
strengthen community connections and build resilience.
The Grants Program is administered by the Community Development team under a range of policies,
guidelines and procedures. The guiding policy document for the program is the Community Grants
Policy which was last reviewed by Council in May 2020.
2. Community Grants Program Review
In 2023, Council initiated a review of key policies and practices that support Noosa’s community
organisations, including the Community Grants Program and the Community Land Tenure Policy.
The Grants Program review evaluated governance, practices, purpose and impact and is aimed to
ensure that Council continues to effectively address community needs while delivering on its
strategies, policies and desired outcomes. The review was led by the Community Development team
and included support by an external contractor. It incorporated stakeholder consultation, an
assessment of other local government funding programs and consideration of resources which
included the 0.6 part-time Grants Administrator and an annual budget allocation of approximately $1
million.
The review focused on several key areas:
1. Governance: Evaluating the application of best practices, relevant legislation, and regulations to
ensure the Community Grants Policy, program structure, and internal processes are current,
effective at meeting the aims of the program and reduce unnecessary complexity.
2. Community Effectiveness: Identifying ways to increase community engagement with the
program, addressing the challenges organisations face when applying for grants, and ensuring
the program delivers strong outcomes and a return on investment.
3. Efficient Resource Allocation: Exploring the most efficient use of limited resources.
4. Maximising Funding: Ensuring that the Community Grants Policy and Program complements,
rather than duplicates, other ongoing internal and external funding sources, such as Council's
other grant programs, Tourism Noosa's grant funding, Gambling Community Benefit Fund, and
relevant State Government funding.
The review did not cover changes to the overall budget allocation for the grants program or the
operational management of external funding sources. It also did not explore non-grant funding
mechanisms such as loans or other financial assistance.
The review involved engagement with both internal and external stakeholders and was benchmarked
against best practices and community grants policies from other councils. This helped to identify
areas for improvement and ensure the updated program aligns with community needs and Council’s
strategic objectives. Based on the findings, amendments to the Community Grants Policy and
structure were made, reflecting the changes that were reviewed and recommended to enhance
efficiency, equity and transparency.
3. Review Outcomes
The review found that the Community Grants Program is highly regarded by local not-for-profit
organisations. The program received generally positive feedback from both internal and external
stakeholders, particularly regarding the support provided by Council officers. Many community
organisations highlighted that the grants were essential for delivering projects and initiatives that
might not have been feasible without Council funding. These projects strengthened local networks,
promoted cultural and social inclusion, and delivered tangible benefits, such as improved community
facilities and increased accessibility. The review also recognised the program's role in encouraging
collaboration, as numerous grant recipients partnered with other organisations to maximise impact
and share resources.
Page 19 of 93
Page 20
GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING 20 JANUARY 2025
Additionally, the streamlined application process, introduced during recent program minor reviews,
was positively received by applicants. Feedback indicated that the simplified format reduced
administrative barriers and made the program more accessible to smaller community groups with
limited resources. This helped broaden the diversity of projects and applicants, aligning the grants
with Council’s overarching equity objectives.
The review also identified some areas for improvement. It found that the Community Grants Program
is not fully aligned with the Council’s current priorities, due to its reliance on the outdated Social
Strategy. Updating this strategy will ensure the program remains relevant and responsive to
emerging community needs.
There was also strong demand for ‘always open’ quick response grants to cater for emerging
opportunities and emergencies, along with strengthening the collaborative approach to driving
further dollars into Noosa community groups.
There was also a clear desire to reduce red tape. Some community organisations found the
application process overly difficult and expressed a preference for more streamlined procedures.
Feedback suggested the use of digital tools to simplify submissions, improve communication and
automate routine tasks. In addition, clearer guidelines, user-friendly templates, and more tailored
workshops could help applicants overcome common challenges and encourage wider participation.
4. Revised Community Grants Policy
One of the key recommendations of the Grants Program review was to revise and update the
Community Grants Policy which helps govern the administration of the Community Grants Program.
The revised Community Grants Policy was developed through a consultative process to ensure it
supports current community needs and aligns with Council priorities and procedures. The process
included a thorough review of feedback from stakeholders, including grant applicants, community
organisations and Council staff. Workshops and focus groups were conducted to gather diverse
perspectives, while benchmarking against best practices from other councils helped identify
opportunities for improvement. Input from these engagements informed the drafting of a policy that
prioritises transparency, equity and accessibility.
The revised policy provides a framework to guide the administration of the Community Grants
Program, ensuring that grants:
• Support Council in achieving its strategic goals and key objectives; and
• Align with the Local Government Act 2009 and Local Government Regulation 2012, which
require that community grants serve a purpose in the public interest.
This policy is designed to be read alongside the supporting guidelines for each individual funding
programs and does not apply to sponsorships, donations, advertising, naming rights or service-level
agreements.
The revised policy contains two main types of changes - program and procedural changes.
Grant Program Changes
Signature Community Events: The Festive Season and Signature Events programs will be combined
into a single program.
Individual Sports Development Grants: The review proposes the introduction of individual Sports
Development Grants to assist Noosa residents who are performing, competing or coaching at
recognised national or international competitions and events.
Quick Response Grants: The ability to provide quick response grants will be made available for both
community grants and RADF grants, similar to the way that Economic Development grants are
offered.
Page 20 of 93
Page 21
GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING 20 JANUARY 2025
Procedural Changes
Flexibility: The policy is less prescriptive, allowing updates to guidelines to address emerging
community needs and changing procedural requirements.
Smaller Grants: Grants under $2,500 that are supported by the moderation panel will now be
approved by a delegated officer instead of coming to Council for endorsement. This will enable quick
response grants for emergent situations to be offered.
Compliance: The policy incorporates new Code of Conduct and Human Rights statements.
Legislation: Updates have been made to reflect the most current relevant documents and legislation.
Wording: Consolidation and minor word changes to the policy to maintain consistency with other
Council grant policies.
These updates aim to make the grants process more accessible, responsive, and aligned with
community and strategic needs, while building strong partnerships and building capacity across
Noosa.

Previous Council Consideration
Ordinary Meeting Minutes 21 May 2020
That Council note the report by the Community Services Director and the Community Development

Page 22
GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING 20 JANUARY 2025
Finance
Council determines the total allocation of funds to the Community Grants Program through its annual
budget process. The FY24/25 community grants budget is $978,496. Each year this budget is
generally raised by CPI rate. The CPI rate that is usually applied to the community grants budget is
the September All Groups Brisbane CPI rate.
To incorporate the Individual Sports Development Grants within the new policy framework, an initial
increase of $5,000 per annum to the overall Community Grants budget will be required as part of the
2025/26 budget process. This adjustment is necessary to ensure adequate support and facilitation
of this additional grant stream.
Risk & Opportunities
Opportunities:
Increased Public Trust: Transparent and equitable policy revisions can build greater trust and
credibility with community stakeholders.
Stronger Collaboration: Opportunities to expand partnerships with external funding providers and
community groups may arise, leading to more innovative and impactful projects.
Encouragement of New Applicants: Simplifying the application process or introducing clearer
guidelines could encourage participation from groups that have not previously applied.
Flexibility: The new policy framework for adapting to emerging community needs or addressing gaps
in service delivery
Risks:
Reduced Engagement/Negative feedback: If the amended policy is not well-communicated in a
positive way, community groups might disengage, leading to a decrease in applications or
collaboration.

8.4 PROCUREMENT ASSESSMENT WORKING TEAM - CONTRACT AWARDS UNDER
CEO DELEGATION
Author Director Corporate Services, Trent Grauf
Corporate Services Department
Index 43.14 Procurement - Procedures and Guidelines
Attachments 1. Attachment 1_General Committee Report - PCAWT Contract Awards
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In accordance with Council’s Procurement Policy, for any large-sized contractual arrangements
($200,000 excluding GST or more) where the awarding of contract occurs under CEO Delegation
(up to $1,000,000 excluding GST) the process is supported by Procurement Assessment Working
Team (PCAWT) which is convened to provide independent procurement processes review.
Additionally, as per the Policy, additional disclosure requirements have been introduced for the
Director Corporate Services to report these CEO delegated awards to Council bi-annually for noting.
For the period July 2024 – December 2024, nine (9) relevant contracts were awarded under PCAWT
review and CEO delegated approval with a total value of $4.1 million.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Director Corporate Services to the General Committee dated 20
January 2025 regarding contracts awarded under CEO delegation, via the Procurement Assessment
Working Team for the period 1 July 2024 to 31 December 2024.
REPORT
Over recent years market changes coupled with the competition for contractors has meant increased
challenges for local governments in procuring goods and services in a timely manner. As such, the
time it takes to award contracts is critical in Council’s ability to meet growing demands for goods and
services.
In this regard, Council established the Procurement Assessment Working Team (PCAWT) in the
2017/2018 via an Organisational Guideline. The original intention of the PCAWT was to provide
increased review oversight for the awarding of contracts within the CEO delegation of $1 Million, that
were sought via a public invitation to tender, and whereby expediting the award process outside the
normal Council meeting cycle was advantageous to Council.
More recently, the updated Procurement Policy adopted by Council in June 2024 incorporated
reinforced policy protocol for the PCAWT principles whilst also expanding its scope to be able to
consider any large-sized ($200,000 or more, exc. GST) contractual arrangements procured in
accordance with the Local Government Regulation 2012 and Council’s policies and guidelines i.e.
in addition to public tenders, the PCAWT may now also convene to consider and review any large-
sized procurement activity including quotations (under panel arrangement or otherwise), and other
forms of procurement.
The inclusion of the PCAWT into policy, coupled with expanding the scope of procurement activity
the team considers/reviews aims to:
• Continue to facilitate the award of public tenders, within CEO delegation, in order to expedite
contract award,
Page 32 of 93
Page 33
GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING 20 JANUARY 2025
• Provide a mechanism for the additional review of any large-sized procurement activity, between
$200,000 - $1,000,000 (exc. GST), prior to recommendation to CEO for award.
• Enhance the existing governance and probity framework, for Council and CEO, for the awarding
of large-sized contracts.
1. CEO Delegation
In accordance with Section 41 of the Council Register of Delegations – Council to Chief Executive
Officer (CEO), the CEO has been granted the authority (by Council) to:
a. undertake the following procurement and contracting activities:
i. invite written quotes for medium-sized contractual arrangements;
ii. invite written tenders for large-sized contractual arrangements;
iii. invite expressions of interest (following Council resolution);
iv. invite offers for the sale of valuable non-current assets (other than sale of land) by written
tender or auction; and
b. make, enter into, amend or discharge contracts (established by the aforementioned methods)
for up to $1,000,000 (excluding GST) for the:
i. procurement of goods and services (including contracts about carrying out of works);
ii. the disposal of valuable non-current assets (but not the sale of land);
iii. the disposal of goods and assets (that are valuable non-current assets).
2. Procurement Policy
In accordance with Council’s Procurement Policy the Procurement Assessment Working Team
(PCAWT) has been established for the following purpose:
Where it has been identified that the award of a large sized contractual arrangement outside of the
normal Council meeting cycle is considered advantageous to Council, the convening of the
Procurement Contracts Assessment Working Team (PCAWT) may be requested. The PCAWT may
review requests for the award of large sized contractual arrangements up to the value of $1 Million
(excluding GST) that have been sought in accordance with the Local Government Regulation 2012
and Council’s procurement policy and guidelines.
3. Procurement Assessment Working Team (PCAWT)
The PCAWT’s role is to review specific requests to approve large-sized contractual arrangements
outside of the normal Council meeting cycle. The PCAWT is comprised of the following Council
Officers*:
1. Director Corporate Services
2. Executive Officer Internal Audit and Corporate Performance
3. Procurement Manager
*Where one of the above is not available, or not suitable due to probity, a substitute officer is sought
to comprise the PCAWT.
Once convened the PCAWT’s role is to undertake a review of the procurement process and
evaluation to ensure that the process was carried out in accordance with Council’s policies and
guidelines. The review may include, but is not limited to, the following:
• Reviewing the evaluation, including scoring, that has been submitted by the evaluation panel;
• Reviewing supplier responses to the invitation to tender/quotation;
Page 33 of 93
Page 34
GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING 20 JANUARY 2025
• Consider consistency on evaluation, to other procurement outcomes and policy alignment;
• Clarifying any aspects of the procurement/evaluation process, and proposed award/contract,
with the evaluation panel chair and/or Procurement Advisor.
If the PCAWT is satisfied with the procurement process and the subsequent recommendation for
award, a recommendation (report) will be made to the CEO for consideration.
4. Reporting Requirements
In accordance with Part 4, Chapter 6, Local Government Regulation 2012, all contractual
arrangements worth $2000,000 or more (exclusive of GST) are published via Council’s website, after
award.
To provide additional disclosure, as per policy, the Director Corporate Services will also report
PCAWT reviewed and CEO awarded contracts to Council on a bi-annual basis.

Capital Revenue
Year to date Capital revenue of $35.0 million received comprises cash contributions from
developers ($0.6m) and capital grants ($34.4 million). Note that the timing of capital grant
receipts are generally dependent on the timing of grant conditions and also capital delivery
performance, and that the timing of the receipt of developer contributions (both cash and
contributed) is unpredictable.
Grants and subsidies are higher than prior years due to the receipt of funding from the
Queensland Reconstruction Authority for reconstruction works relating to the Black Mountain
landslip and several other flood impacted sites, which are currently under construction.
Figure 6: Capital Revenue by Type
Capital Program
Actual capital expenditure (excluding commitments and disaster projects) is $13.6 million (YTD
budget $23.8 million). Expenditure on disaster projects (excluding commitments) is $33.1 million
(YTD budget $48.8 million).
Detailed discussion of progress in the delivery of the capital works program is provided through
a separate quarterly report by the infrastructure team.

Cash Management and Investment Performance
Total cash on hand at the end of December was $94.5 million. Included in this balance are funds
held in trust and for restricted purposes (e.g. unexpended levy and grant funds), prepaid grants
including the financial assistance grant, QRA disaster funding and other capital works grants,
prepayment of Waste Levy subsidy (3 years), and unspent monies committed for funding capital
projects which are underway and will continue during the financial year.
The following pie charts present the mix of cash held at December 2024 by agency (graph on
the left) and by credit risk rating (graph on the right). All funds have been invested in accordance
with the Investment Policy and in consideration of the principles of ethical investment,
preservation of capital, return on investment and counterparty thresholds.
Figure 8: Closing Cash Held by Agency and Credit Rating
The following chart monitors the 12 month trend on total cash and the agencies invested. To
maximise the return on in its cash holdings Council has invested $30.5 million in higher yielding term
deposits. These investments were made in line with Council’s Investment of Surplus Funds policy.

Measures of Financial Sustainability
The following table incorporates a set of financial sustainability indicators to further assist in
managing Council financial performance. There are no significant emerging risks regarding
performance identified at this stage, however the delay in the delivery of the capital program
may impact Council’s asset sustainability and renewal targets.
Category Comments
Operating Surplus Ratio • Intent: Identifies the extent to which
revenues cover operational expenses,
to ensure community equity is not
degraded
• Target: Greater than 0%
• Result: 8.8%
• Comment: The slowly declining ratio
reflects the levying of 50% of rates in
July and gradual utilisation of these
monies as expenditure occurs on
operations through to the next rating
cycle in January 2025.
Cash Expense Cover • Intent: Indicates how long council can
continue paying its day-to-day
expenses from cash at bank without
needing additional cash flows
• Target: > 3 months
• Result: 9.9 months
• Comment: Cash cover remains
above target, while business as usual
expenditure through to 30 June 2025
will degrade Council’s cash holdings,
albeit not below the target range of 3 –
6 months.
Cash balances include funding for
capital programs, unspent grant
monies paid in advance, Waste Levy
subsidy prepayments and QRA
advance payments for disaster
projects which are restricted for
specific purposes and inflate the ratio.
Asset Sustainability Ratio • Intent: Measures the extent to which
assets are being replaced as their
condition degrades to ensure service
potential is maintained
• Target: 80% of depreciation budget
spent on renewals annually
• Result: 38.7% achieved, however
below forecast result due to project
delays and scheduling.
• Comment: The ratio will
progressively increases each month
as expenditure on renewals occurs as
part of the capital works program. For
transparency QRA disaster projects
have been excluded from the ratio
calculations. Should capital works
continue to fall forecast for the
Page 46 of 93
Page 47
GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING 20 JANUARY 2025
Category Comments
remainder of the year this may impact
the achievement of Council’s asset
sustainability and renewal targets
Net Financial Liabilities Ratio • Intent: Outlines the level that net
Council debt can be serviced by
operating revenues. A ratio below zero
implies that liabilities are less than
cash (and other current assets) and
there is adequate borrowing capacity
available if needed.
• Target: less than 60%
• Result: -31.5%
• Comment: Council has low debt
levels and strong cash holdings. The
advance payment of rates, grants and
subsidies also inflates the YTD actual
outcome.
Investment Return • Intent: Ensure appropriate return on
investment yield for cash at bank.
• Target: 0.25% above current
Bloomberg commonwealth 10-year
bond rate yield (4.45%)
• Result: 5.8%
• Comment: With higher-than-
normal cash balances due to the
advance payment of grants and
subsidies and a delayed capital
program, combined with bond
rates remaining steady, Council
has invested surplus cash in
higher yielding term deposits to
maximise returns. Council’s
investment returns remain above
target.
Rates in Arrears • Intent: Ensuring that the amount of
unpaid rates remains sustainable and
does not negatively impact cash flows
• Target: 5% industry benchmark
• Result: 6.3%
• Comment: Rates arrears continue to
decline from the high point in the cycle
with payments coming due in August.
Reminder notices have been issued,
and arrears will continue to stabilise
through to January as they are
collected, and payment arrangements
implemented.

Risk & Opportunities
Council’s risk register identifies a number of risks that could impact on its ongoing financial
sustainability. In order to manage and mitigate these risks Council uses various tools which include
monthly ongoing financial reporting to identify and address emerging issues, conservative budgeting,
compliance with the Financial Sustainability Policy, regular budget reviews, effective liquidity
management to ensure sufficient fiscal flexibility, as well as adhering to the Reserves and Restricted
Cash policy which requires that Council maintains both a disaster management reserve and a
minimum 3 months cash cover to fund emergent matters.
Some examples of potential risks that may impact on Council’s operational performance, capital
program delivery, cashflow and cash reserves include:
• Substantial damage to or failure of Council infrastructure due to natural disaster or other
emergent issue that may require significant unplanned investment;
• An extended closure of Council facilities impacting operational revenues;
• A prolonged IT system failure affecting Council’s ability to deliver services or issue rates notices;
• Economic conditions affecting ratepayers’ ability to pay rates;
• Market driven increases in construction and operational costs significantly above estimates;
• Labour and material shortages and delays.
• Strategies, plans and projects deliverables that have not been accurately costed
• Fraud attempts may result in financial impacts to Council if funds cannot be recovered
• Reliance on non-recurrent revenue streams (i.e. interest revenue on grants and short term cash
holdings) to fund business as usual operations may result in higher rate increases in future years
or service level cuts to fund potential shortfalls.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Local Government Act 2009 and Local Government Regulation 2012 require Council to
undertake regular reviews of the adopted budget to ensure it remains reflective of planned activities
to be funded through the financial year. This second budget review for the 2024/25 financial year
(BR2) incorporates any new or emergent actions arising from Council resolution, Executive Team or
Capital Works Executive Committee action, reallocation of funds or realised revenue variance since
the adoption of the current BR1 budget in August 2024.
In summary the budget review is proposing to increase Council’s operating position by $278k,
increasing from a $140k deficit to a $138k surplus. This includes a range of emergent costs that
have been funded through additional revenue and grants received year to date. The revised capital
expenditure program has a base capital works program decreasing from $53.8m to $46.1 million. No
changes were made to the QRA funded disaster program which currently amounts to $78.8
million. This brings the total capital works program to $124.9 million.
Item Current Budget Adjustments Proposed Budget
(BR1) ($’000) ($’000) (BR2) ($’000)
Operating Revenue $139,994 $1,309 $141,302

The report also seeks adoption of proposed General Cost Recovery Fees and Commercial Charges
for the Noosa Holiday Parks for the period from January 2026 to July 2026. These fees and charges
are reviewed every six (6) months as required to maintain a consistent annual forward booking period
and ensure full cost pricing principles are adhered to in the coming financial years in line with National
Competition Policy.
With the recent endorsement by Council of Amendment No 2. To the Noosa Plan 2020 a new fee
has been proposed for applications seeking consideration of assessment under the superseded
planning scheme.

GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING 20 JANUARY 2025
RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Financial Services Manager to the General Committee Meeting
dated 20 January 2025 regarding Budget Review 2 for the 2024/25 Financial Year and
A. Approve the proposed changes to the budget for the 2024/25 financial year as outlined in the
Revised Budget Financial Statements provided in Attachment 1 - 4 to the report; and
B. Adopt the proposed general cost recovery fees and commercial charges schedule for Noosa
Holiday Parks for the period 27 January 2026 to 13 July 2026, and the introduction of an
application for consideration under the superseded planning scheme fee as detailed in the tables
contained within the report.
REPORT
Section 170(3) of the Local Government Regulation 2012 allows Council, by resolution, to amend
the budget at any time before the end of the financial year. Consequently, formal budget reviews are
scheduled to occur at least twice annually during August and December, and a third in April if
required, using the latest financial information available as the basis to revise the budget forecast.
The key criteria for budget reviews include:
1. Council must target compliance with its Financial Sustainability Policy.
2. The eligible capital or operating projects must be delivery-ready with a commitment to
complete the project during the year.
3. Capital submissions will be reviewed and authorised by the Capital Works Executive before
inclusion as a budget review submission, where the group will consider justification for the
request, deliverability as well as organisational and community priorities before endorsing
any capital works.
4. All operating and capital submissions for additional spend, reallocation of savings or
additional revenue will be confirmed by the Executive Team based on a business risk
assessment.
The revised statement of comprehensive income, included as Attachment 3, identifies the financial
statement line items that have been affected by the proposed budget adjustments. The budget
financial statements, included in Attachment 4, also identify the impact of the proposed budget
adjustments to Council’s financial sustainability indicators.
1. Proposed Operating Budget Adjustments
A proposed 42 operational budget adjustments will result in a $278k improvement to the
operating deficit. The following table summarises the operational submissions by type of
funding, with a detailed list contained in Attachment 1. The financial statements in Attachments
3 and 4 outline the revised budget position as a result of these proposed adjustments.

2. Proposed Capital Budget Adjustments
A total of 36 budget review submissions were received for capital works projects, with a
proposed decrease of $7.6 million to the 2024/25 capital works program excluding disaster
funded projects.
With the delivery of QRA funded disaster projects currently under construction, the current year
capital works program includes $78.8 million of QRA funded disaster. These projects relate to
the February 2022 flood event and are fully funded by the Queensland Reconstruction Authority
(QRA). All capital submissions have been reviewed by the Capital Works Executive.
The following table summarises the proposed revised 2024/25 capital budget.
Total Capital Budget Amount
($'000)
Original Budget $45,246
BR1 Adjustments $8,620
QRA Funded disaster projects (carryover) $78,728
Current Capital Expenditure Budget $132,594
Proposed BR2 Adjustments ($7,677)
Revised BR2 Capital Expenditure Budget $124,917
The following table summarises the budget submissions by program and categorised as:
• Multi-Year Rescheduling: Where timing of design and construction works for major projects
straddle multiple financial years, or commencement has been delayed, and the budget has
been reallocated to future years.
• Emergent Works & Variations: Initiation of new capital works items which have arisen since
BR1 or where there has been a variation due to the acceptance of tender, change in scope,
reallocation of funds or savings realised upon completion with project being under budget.
• Project Savings / Transfers: These are realised savings on existing capital works projects
which have been re-allocated to fund emergent works and variations.
The following table summarises the proposed revised 2024/25 capital budget by program, with the
full program contained in Attachment 2.

3. Fees and Charges Amendments
Holiday Park Fees and Charges
Current fees and charges for the Noosa Holiday Parks apply until 26 January 2026. Council
maintains an ‘advance’ fees and charges schedule for the parks to allow for forward booking of sites
by customers.
Twice yearly, Council reviews and amends the fees, including benchmarking and suitability
assessment of the fee and charge categories.
This report proposes the adoption of fees and charges for the Noosa Holiday Parks for a further six
(6) months to the end of the July 2026 school holiday period, as indicated in Tables 1-4.

Revenue generated by the holiday parks is shared between the Noosa Holiday Parks Management
contractor and Council based on a revenue split arrangement. The cost of delivering the services
associated with the holiday parks as like any business are subject to inflationary
pressures. Accordingly, the proposed fees and charges consider these cost increases to effectively
deliver the Noosa Holiday Parks program into the future.
The proposed fees and charges have also been benchmarked and tested against fees and charges
adopted by government and privately owned camping and caravan parks located in the Fraser Coast
Council, Gympie Regional Council, Sunshine Coast Council, Tweed Shire Council and Byron Bay
Council regions to ensure the proposed fees and charges are in line with industry pricing.
Over time, the Noosa Holiday Park program has developed into a high quality and popular
recreational camping and caravaning tourism offering. Visitation levels have consistently grown year
on year. The proposed fees and charges are considered commensurate with safeguarding and
maintaining the viability of the Noosa Holiday Parks into the future.
Superseded Planning Scheme
With the recent endorsement of Amendment No 2. to the Noosa 2020 plan by Council, a fee for a
development application to be considered under the superseded planning scheme is also being

4. Organisational Establishment
The last review of the organisational structure was reported to the Council at the Special Meeting on
28 June 2024 as part of budget adoption process. Several submissions were received
as part of the budget review process for new and extended temporary and permanent
positions, as well as the conversion of 2 temporary positions to permanent establishment. Details
of these submissions are outlined in the table below.
* The increase in workplace health and safety positions is being funded through savings in workcover premiums resulting
from the change in service provider.
# Previously the Heritage Coordinator position (0.26 FTE) was part funded via the heritage levy. With the cessation and
redesign of the coordinator position the new Heritage Librarian position (0.51 FTE) will now be part funded by the heritage
levy.

GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING 20 JANUARY 2025
Finance
Budget Review 2 continues Council’s focus on, and compliance with, its Financial Sustainability
Policy. Council has an ongoing responsibility to ensure that it has sufficient resources now and
into the future to provide levels of service that are both affordable and considered appropriate
by the community. This responsibility encompasses how decisions are made regarding the
allocation of ratepayer funds to Council’s day to day operations as well as towards the
replacement of existing assets and procurement of new assets.
The key measurement criteria for whether Council is achieving its financial sustainability objectives
over the short and medium term are the achievement of set targets for a variety of financial
sustainability ratios which are required to be published under legislation. These ratios effectively
allow the community to determine:
1. If Council is appropriately funding its day to day operations and asset consumption costs (i.e.
the operating surplus ratio);
2. Ensuring its debt is at a level that can be repaid from current operating revenues (i.e. the net
financial liabilities ratio); and
3. Replacing community infrastructure when required and to ensure asset service levels can be
maintained (i.e. the asset sustainability ratio).
Budget Review 2 continues Council’s financial sustainability commitment with all ratios within the
benchmark ranges set by the Queensland Government:

Leverage Ratio 0-3 times 1.1 times 1.2 times 0.94 times
Net Liabilities Ratio Less than 60% 0.70% (3.2%) (7.0%)
Risk & Opportunities
In order to manage and mitigate these risks Council uses various tools which include monthly
ongoing financial reporting to identify and address emerging issues, conservative budgeting,
compliance with the Financial Sustainability Policy, regular budget reviews, effective liquidity
management to ensure sufficient fiscal flexibility, as well as adhering to the Reserves and Restricted
Cash policy which requires that Council maintains both a disaster management reserve and a
minimum 3 months cash cover to fund emergent matters.
Some examples of potential risks that may impact on Council’s operational performance, capital
program delivery, cashflow and cash reserves include:
• substantial damage to or failure of Council infrastructure due to natural disaster or other
emergent issue that may require significant unplanned investment;
Page 62 of 93
Page 63
GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING 20 JANUARY 2025
• Prolonged closure of Council facilities due to unforeseen circumstances;
• A prolonged IT system failure affecting Council’s ability to deliver services or issue rates notices;
• Economic conditions affecting ratepayers’ ability to pay rates;
• Market driven increases in construction and operational costs significantly above estimates;
• Labour and material shortages and delays.
• Fraud attempts may result in financial impacts to Council if funds cannot be recovered
• Reliance on non-recurrent revenue streams (ie interest revenue on grants and short term cash
holdings) to fund business as usual operations may result in higher rate increases in future years
or service level cuts to fund potential shortfalls.
Council is currently in the process of negotiating its new Certified Agreement, with the current
agreement expiring in February 2025. As these negotiations are ongoing and have not yet been
finalised, no financial impact arising from these negotiations has been recognised in this budget
review.
