             A. "The LGAQ advocate to the State Government of Queensland recommending that
             a submission made by Noosa Council to NGA at the ALGA Conference 2023 is
             developed and agreed to by the ALGA board for Federal Policy priority and
             implementation. The motion was carried unopposed by 357 Councils across
             Australia."
             B. "The LGAQ advocate to the State Government of Queensland to formulate a State
             Policy on Ocean Sewerage Outfalls that aims at:
                 1. No new ocean and estuarine sewerage outfalls to be built/developed along the
                     Queensland coastline, and
                 2. Dedicated funding to be provided to support local regional governments and
                     wastewater providers with existing ocean and estuarine outfalls, to develop
                     new methods/technologies and make every effort to recycle treated
                     wastewater generated within their localities and avoid the need to discharge
                     in the ocean."
             C. "The LGAQ calls on the State Government to respect the dwelling and population
             growth projections as advised, and planned for, by each South-East Queensland
             Local Government and provide adequate funding for infrastructure to match any
             increase in dwelling and population projections imposed by the State Government
             during the Shaping SEQ Review process."
             D. "The LGAQ calls on the Qld State and Federal Governments to allocate Funding
             for a Pilot Program to enable the LGAQ to co-ordinate ‘Psychosocial Risk Reduction
             Training’."
                                                                           Carried unanimously.
