College Lease Proposal

The College’s lease proposal requests a 20 year lease to enable the College to appropriately
manage the cost of providing the following development proposal improvements over a 5 to 10
year period and maintaining the ovals and infrastructure:

1.     Remedial drainage works
2.     Possible expansion to take two full sized rugby/soccer fields
3.     Top dressing
5.     Fencing and beautification along Walter Hay Drive
6.     Creation of athletics facilities – includes a 400m grass running track, long jump/ triple
       jump pit with artificial run up and other facilities to cater for discus/shotput.

The College has an arrangement with the Noosa Eagles Soccer Club over Lot 909 and Lot 100
and the College has indicated that they wish this alliance to continue. The College are also willing
to establish relationships with other sporting groups to utilise the facilities as much as possible.

Under Section 236 (1) (b) (ii) of the Local Government Regulation 2012, Council is not required
to tender for the leasing of the property as the purpose of renewal of the lease is to a community
organisation. The requirements of this exception are that a relevant Council resolution is first
obtained.

Previous Council Consideration

Ordinary Meeting 8 February 1996:
Council agree to enter into an agreement with the Good Shepherd Lutheran College for the use
of the oval contained within the Area A (being Lot 909) of Reserve for Park and Recreation No.
R1866 located at Noosa Waters, generally on the basis of the conditions identified in the
Administrative Officer’s report dated 30 January 1996.

Ordinary Meeting 21 March 2002: in reference to Lot 100:
This lot will be dedicated to the council as a recreational park, which will ultimately be joined with
the state land to the north that is currently being used by the Good Shepherd Lutheran College
for ovals Though triangular in shape it is still acceptable, as this will allow additional ovals to be
constructed that will benefit the school and the community.

Finance & Risk

The costs that will be incurred in the administration of the proposed lease are accommodated in
Council’s operational budget (predominately as labour costs) within the Corporate Services
Department.
