Previous Council Consideration
Ordinary Meeting, 15 March 2018, General Committee
3 NOOSA MAIN BEACH EVENTS POLICY

That Council note the report by the Property Manager to the Services & Organisation Committee
Meeting dated 6 March 2018 and adopt the Noosa Main Beach Events Policy provided as
Attachment 1 to the Report with the following changes:
1. Under ‘NUMBER OF EVENTS’ delete the current wording in the first dot point and replace with:
The events approved for Noosa Main Beach East will focus on those which intrinsically require the
beach location for their activities (generally sporting, life saving, swimming and surfing events) and
there will be a transition of cultural festival/food festival events away from Main Beach East towards
Noosa Lions Park and/or Noosa Woods and/or Noosa Main Beach West, with the intention to
eventually achieve no cultural festival/food festival events at Noosa Main Beach East; and
2. Replace the word “annually” with “each calendar year” and the words “each year” with “each
calendar year” wherever they appear in the policy.
