PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                                                 10 JULY 2018

    A Noosa River Community Jury was also established in 2015 to examine how the Noosa River could be better managed and
    what role should Council play and what resources should Council apply. Following deliberations the majority of the Jury
    supported Council’s intent to seek authority from the State Government for managing anchoring, mooring, living on the
    river and commercial use of the river on the basis it would be a user pays system, funded through alternative means to
    rates. The Jury provided recommendations to Council to progress river management, the first of which included the review,
    update and implementation of the Noosa River Plan in a new framework with formal status to ensure it has authority.
