SPEAKERS: FRANCIS MURRAY
8. PUBLIC QUESTION TIME
8.1 PUBLIC QUESTION TIME APPLICANT: KEN & DESLEY NIXON
QUESTION 1
Will Noosa Shire Council, as part of its Budget considerations, include a raised boardwalk
(approximately 25 metres) on flood prone section of Beach Access 55, noting that we are not
seeking replacement of the existing concrete path but only an elevated structure over that
section (Case RM2024/10901)?
RESPONSE BY SHAUN WALSH, DIRECTOR INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES
Council’s has recently completed a Strategic Beach Access Renewal Plan, which captures
existing asset data across Council’s 70 beach accesses. This asset plan provides the
Infrastructure department with clearer guidance and prioritisation for longer-term renewal
planning and works scheduling. Beach Access 55 (Kingfisher Dr, Peregian) has been
assessed as a Medium priority (Categories are Low, Medium, High and Urgent), with the
overall condition considered fair. It is acknowledged that the primary driver for future renewal
is the infrequent inundation of the pathway during high rainfall events, which can temporarily
restrict public access. In terms of budget provision, Council allocates an annual capital budget
provision of $240,000 for renewal of beach accesses & showers, and this budget will be
Page 4
ORDINARY MEETING MINUTES 16 APRIL 2026
prioritised towards completing Urgent and High priority upgrades at other Beach Access
locations. No funding is currently proposed to be allocated toward design or construction of a
raised boardwalk through the flood prone section of Beach Access 55.
QUESTION 2
Can Council please clarify the statement in the 28 January email (from the A/Executive
Officer) referring to the existing path and railing being "at the end of its service life", and
explain what this means in practical terms and when it will be scheduled for repair or
replacement (in relation to the existing concrete pathway at Beach Access 55)?
RESPONSE BY SHAUN WALSH, DIRECTOR INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES
To clarify previous advice provided 28 January in terms of Council's current capital funding
prioritisation process, Beach Access 55 has been assessed as a Medium priority (Low >
Medium > High > Urgent), with the overall condition considered fair. It is acknowledged that
the primary driver for future renewal is the infrequent inundation of the pathway during high
rainfall events, which can temporarily restrict public access. At this stage, no delivery
timeframe has been scheduled for Beach Access 55, as Council’s current program is
prioritised for more urgent and high priority beach access works across the Shire. It is noted
that the adjacent beach access points Beach Access 54 (approx. 350m north) & Beach
Access 56 (approx. 300m south) aren't impacted by inundation and are available as
alternative access points during periods of prolonged inundation of Beach Access 55. All
beach accesses will continue to be evaluated on an annual basis.
8.2 PUBLIC QUESTION TIME APPLICANT: PAT SPICER
QUESTION 1
What was the total cost for site investigations for 62 Lake Macdonald Drive, Cooroy and the
ongoing consultations, plans and reports from companies including Murray and Associates,
Covey and Associates, Environmental Advisors (contamination), North Coast Environmental
Services, Holland Traffic Engineering, Austrac Traffic Count, Hydra Logic, Auspower that
formed the Civil Works Package and Remediation Works Package up to work commencing
on site on 4 September, 2025? (Please do not include any grants in this total figure).
RESPONSE BY KIM RAWLINGS, DIRECTOR STRATEGY & ENVIRONMENT
To date approximately $375,000 has been spent on plans, reports, investigations noting the
project is still live and yet to be completed.
QUESTION 2
What was the total amount of grant funding received to offset the costs?
RESPONSE PROVIDED BY KIM RAWLINGS, DIRECTOR STRATEGY & PLANNING
$178,000 of that grant funded to offset these costs from the Federal Housing Support
Program.
The meeting adjourned at 10.22am.
The meeting resumed at 10.33am.

10 NOTIFIED MOTIONS
10.1 ADVOCATING FOR URGENT ACTION ON BURGESS CREEK EROSION
Cr Amelia Lorentson
"In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, I inform the meeting that
I have a declarable conflict of interest in this matter Item 10.1 - ADVOCATING FOR URGENT
ACTION ON BURGESS CREEK EROSION on this agenda as my brother, Gabriel Cerasani,
resides in Sunrise Beach and I also now own a property in Sunrise Beach, both in close
proximity to Burgess Creek. Based on recent legal advice I declare that I have a
declarable conflict of interest in this matter. I also note that I have consistently declared my
brother’s property interests in relation to all matters concerning the Burgess Creek catchment,
and Council has previously permitted me to remain in the meeting room when those matters
have been considered. Although I have a declarable conflict of interest, I believe neither my
brother nor myself have an interest greater than any other resident of the catchment area,
and I consider that I am able to remain impartial and act in the public interest. Therefore, I
will choose to remain in the meeting room. However, I will respect the decision of the meeting
on whether I can remain and participate in the decision.
Council Resolution
Moved: Cr Brian Stockwell
Seconded: Cr Nicola Wilson
That Council note the declarable conflict of interest by Cr Lorentson and determine that in
accordance with s150ES of the Local Government Act 2009, and having considered the
Councillor's conflict of interest as described, it is decided that Cr Lorentson may participate
and vote on this matter relating to the item 10.1 Advocating for urgent Action on Burgess
Creek Erosion.
Carried.

Cr Lorentson having a conflict of interest in this matter was not eligible to vote.
Cr Brian Stockwell
"In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009 I inform the meeting that
I have a declarable conflict of interest in this matter Item 10.1 - ADVOCATING FOR URGENT
ACTION ON BURGESS CREEK EROSION on this agenda which relates to my role as the
President of the Noosa Lions Football Club which manages, in part the Girraween Sports
Complex in the upper catchment. Although I have a declarable conflict of interest, I do not
believe a reasonable person could have a perception of bias because there is no nexus
between the activities at the Girraween Sports Complex and the aspect of the Catchment
Management Plan which is the subject of this motion. Therefore, I will choose to remain in
the meeting room. However, I will respect the decision of the meeting on whether I can remain
and participate in the decision."
Council Resolution
Moved: Cr Jessica Phillips
Seconded: Cr Tom Wegener
That Council note the declarable conflict of interest by Cr Stockwell and determine that in

Councillor's conflict of interest as described, it is decided that Cr Stockwell may participate

Creek Erosion.
