EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Property Branch meets with Tourism Noosa representatives on a two monthly basis. At the
March 2019 meeting, Tourism Noosa provided a list of events it intends to conditionally fund and
promote to 31 July 2020. As a condition of funding, each event organiser must obtain a
Temporary Event Permit from Council. The final determination regarding permit approval rests
with Council.

Council officers have no objection to providing in-principle approval for the events listed in
Attachment 1 to this report subject to Council’s normal assessment and approval processes.
However, it is recommended Council not provide in-principle approval for the Maze Art Street
Village 2019 event and the Beach Club 2019 event at this time but consider these events at a
later date when complete applications have been made that includes evidence of support from
the Hastings Street Association as key stakeholder.

This report also recommends event applications received within four months of the proposed
event commencement date (which is the timeframe noted on Council’s Temporary Event
Application form for High Impact events) be charged additional administrative fees relating to the
necessary resourcing impact resulting from the reduction in the timeframe for application
assessment.
