THREE-MONTH TRIAL OF ALTERNATE SHARK MITIGATION MEASURES DURING SOUTHERN WHALE MIGRATION · Attachment 1 - 2026-01-22 Notice of Motion - Cr Lorentson - 3 mth Trial of Alternate Shark Mitigation Measures During Southern Whale Migration

Limiting this request to a three-month trial period, rather than the full season, provides a balanced and proportionate approach. It allows the State to evaluate the effectiveness of modern technologies during the highest-risk period for whale entanglements, while maintaining a strong focus on beach safety. Proposing Noosa Main Beach as a trial location provides an opportunity for the State to test and assess these technologies in a high-use, high-visibility environment. Advocating for updated mitigation approaches demonstrates leadership in sustainable coastal management and reflects Council’s commitment to protecting marine life while continuing to prioritise the safety of residents and visitors alike. To all Councillors and Directors | hereby notify that Cr Lorentson intends to move the motion as shown above at the Ordinary Meeting dated 22 January 2026.
