EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Council adopts its meeting timetable on an annual basis. This enables the community to be
aware of when Council meetings are scheduled and for staff to develop timetables for preparing
agendas for those meetings. This report puts forward for adoption the proposed timetable for January
to December 2025.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Chief Executive Officer to the Services & Organisation Committee
Meeting dated 12 November 2024 and approve the Council Meeting schedule for January-December
2025 as set out in Attachment 1 to the Report.
REPORT
At the Post Election Meeting on 8 April 2024, Council adopted its Council Meeting structure
incorporating three Standing Committees and an Ordinary meeting. The meeting structure was
discussed at various time since that meeting and has remained unchanged with meetings being held
on a monthly cycle.
As per previous years, the first meeting round of the year (January 2025) will consist of only a
General Committee Meeting (20 January) and an Ordinary Meeting (23 January). There will be no
Planning & Environment Committee or Services & Organisation Committee meeting held in January
due to the timing of report deadlines conflicting with the Christmas/ New Year period and the
availability of staff and Councillors over this time.

5.2 PEREGIAN BEACH SURF LIFESAVING CLUB - FUNDING REQUEST AND UPDATE ON
OPERATIONS
Author Property Manager, Clint Irwin
Property | Development & Regulation Department
Index 35.01 - Management of Lifeguard Contract
Attachments 1. Attachment 1 - PBSLSC 2023-2024 Annual Report
2. Attachment 2 - Village Square Bin Storage Area
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
At the April 2022 Ordinary Meeting, Council resolved to enter into negotiations for a 10 year lease to
Peregian Beach SLSC (PBSLSC) over Lot 165 MCH5180 (the whole building and surrounds). The
intent of the lease was to provide security of tenure to allow the club to establish operations and
beach patrolling capacity.
Given PBSLSC did not have capacity to undertake full weekend and public holiday beach patrols
within the September to May patrolling season, Council resolved to fund SLSQ contract lifeguards
to patrol Saturdays and public holidays for a three year period. This enabled PBSLSC to patrol
Sundays while it focused on establishing operations.
Council’s three year funding arrangement expires in May 2025 and PBSLSC has requested a further
two year funding commitment from Council with the club again proposing to provide services on
Sundays and additionally all public holidays falling within the September to May season equating to
an extra 11 days over the period. This report recommends Council support consideration of the two
year funding proposal as part of the 2025-2026 budget deliberations which will assist PBSLSC to
continue to build capacity.
This report also recommends PBSLSC submit a Building Works Plan to allow a coordinated
approach to maintenance and development between the new club committee and Council and an
updated Strategic Plan given the current plan expires in 2025.
PBSLSC have also raised concerns with the amenity and impact of the Village Square bin storage
area and drainage and stormwater issues which are also impacting club operations. It is
recommended Council investigate these issues and work towards an appropriate outcome in
consultation with PBSLSC.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Property Manager, Development and Regulation to the Services
and Organisation Committee dated 12 November 2024 and:
A. Agree to consider as part of the 2025-2026 budget deliberations the allocation of $46,000
per annum plus CPI for a total of two years commencing 2025-2026 to fund SLSQ contract
lifeguard services on Saturdays only in the September to May surf lifesaving patrol season
for the purposes of providing lifesaving service continuity at Peregian Beach subject to the
Lessee:
1. Providing annual reporting of progress toward establishment of the new Peregian Beach
SLSC for a further two years of operations;
2. Submitting an updated 3 year Strategic Plan endorsed by Surf Lifesaving Queensland
prior to 30 June 2025;
Page 7 of 79
Page 8
SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING 12 NOVEMBER 2024
3. Submitting a Building Works Plan prior to 30 June 2025 detailing proposed club building
works including major maintenance, renovation and extension works for the remainder
of the current lease period
4. Agreeing that opportunities for ratepayer financial support will be by application through
Council’s community grants program and no commitment is provided by Council for
direct ratepayer financial support
5. Agreeing that building maintenance will be at Council’s discretion subject to
Council’s independent assessment and asset maintenance planning.
B. Note that any future PBSLSC proposal to assume responsibility for all patrolling days in the
September to May lifesaving season will be subject to approval by Surf Lifesaving Queensland;
C. Note Peregian Beach Surf Lifesaving Club’s request to increase Junior Activities (Nippers)
enrolments subject to Surf Lifesaving Queensland approval;
D. Authorise the CEO to:
1. Monitor operation of the bin storage area located adjacent to Peregian Beach SLSC
and investigate short and long term options to manage the impacts of the area to improve club
amenity;
2. Examine stormwater and drainage issues currently impacting club operations; and
E. Agree that requests for funding resulting from the bin storage and drainage and stormwater
investigations will be referred to future budget deliberations as appropriate.
REPORT
1. Purpose
The purpose of this report is to provide an update on Peregian Beach Surf Lifesaving Club operations
and seek Council funding for a further two year period to support Peregian Beach SLSC's efforts to
establish full beach patrol services.
2. Background
At the April 2022 Ordinary Meeting, Council resolved to enter into negotiations for a 10 year lease
with Peregian Beach Surf Lifesaving Club (PBSLSC). The intent of the lease was to provide security
of tenure to allow the club to establish operations, beach patrols and associated activities.
The granting of the lease to PBSLSC followed a three year period of management by Surf Lifesaving
Sunshine Coast (see July 2019 Services and Organisation Meeting, Item 3, Page 20) and an earlier
period of management by Noosa Heads SLSC which assumed responsibility for beach patrols and
club operations following PBSLSC’s failure in 2014 (see October 2014 Planning and Organisation
Meeting, Item 7, Page 42).
3. PBSLSC Progress Towards Establishment of New Club
Despite the challenges posed in establishing the new club, PBSLSC has continued to make
steady progress towards building lifesaving operations, beach patrols and the supporting
activities required to ensure the club’s ongoing viability. PBSLSC has detailed its achievements
in its 2023-2024 Annual Report which is attached to this report (see Attachment 1). The club
notes its success is due to its focus on four essential lifesaving areas, which include:
• Providing a safe bathing environment;
• Increasing patrolling membership;
• Building a strong nipper program; and
Page 8 of 79
Page 9
SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING 12 NOVEMBER 2024
• Prudent financial management.
The report details the club’s achievements and key statistics for the 2023-2024 season, which
include:
• 75 active patrolling members across 5 patrols (16% decrease from last season)
• Continuing patrol support from the Brisbane Lifesaving Service to form a 6th patrol team with
further volunteer contributions from members from other Sunshine Coast clubs
• 514 total members (13% increase from last season)
• 198 children enrolled in nipper program (19% increase from previous season)
• Improved financial performance reflecting increased income and expenditure control
4. Progress Towards Full Weekend and Public Holiday Patrols
At the April 2022 Ordinary Meeting, Council resolved to fund SLSQ contract lifeguard services on
Saturdays and public holidays in the surf lifesaving season for a three year period. Accordingly,
PBSLSC has undertaken patrols on the remaining Sundays.
Given Council’s funding commitment ceases in May at the end of 2024 - 2025 patrolling season,
Council officers met with PBSLSC committee members and SLSQ on 10 July 2024, to seek an
update regarding the club’s progress towards full weekend and public holiday patrols for the 2025-
2026 September to May patrolling season.
While PBSLSC is ultimately committed to providing full patrol services, the club’s position is that it is
not yet ready to provide this service level and SLSQ and Council's Property officers acknowledge
the current situation. Any future PBSLSC proposal to progress to full patrol services will need to be
approved by SLSQ and consider a number of factors including:
• The number of active patrolling members required to sustainably provide full patrol services
requires potentially 120 patrolling members (the club currently has 75 active patrolling
members);
• Capacity of the club to train more lifesavers across all award requirements including patrols,
rescue techniques, patient care, beach management and utilising rescue equipment; and
• Span of beach area under responsibility, projected increases to SE Queensland population
and increasing beach visitation trends.
In recognition of the upcoming cessation of Council’s funding commitment, PBSLSC has requested
Council funding for a further two year period from September 2025. In addition to Sundays, PBSLSC
propose to patrol the 11 public holidays falling within the September to May lifesaving season.
It should also be noted PBSLSC have committed to providing the extra public holiday coverage for
this current season. The existing Council funding agreement does not compel the club to patrol the
public holidays however, the club has voluntarily accepted responsibility and have committed to
providing these services ahead of the proposed new Council funding agreement commencing next
year.
5. State Government Funding
In May 2024, the State Government announced a new 10 year funding package for Queensland Surf
Lifesaving Clubs (see https://statements.qld.gov.au/statements/100375). SLSQ had previously
undertaken an infrastructure needs assessment with PBSLSC ranking highly in that review. As a
result of this needs assessment, PBSLSC received $800,000 which will be used to improve and
modernise ground floor member facilities.

Page 10
SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING 12 NOVEMBER 2024
6. Future Building Works Plan
At the 10 July PBSLSC meeting, the development of a building works plan was discussed. The
purpose of this plan is for the club to identify proposed building works over the remainder of lease
period. Early identification of proposed building works will provide Council with an understanding of
the new management committee’s direction, identify approval processes to assist the club and allow
a coordinated approach to building maintenance and renewal projects proposed by PBSLSC and
Council.
7. Strategic Plan
The club’s 2022- 2025 Strategic Plan is a key guiding document providing strategic direction and is
crucial to the club’s future success. Given the plan expires in 2025, it is proposed this document is
updated prior to 30 June 2025 and before the commencement of the 2025-2026 patrol season to
allow sufficient time for SLSQ review and endorsement prior to season commencement.
8. Junior Activities (Nippers)
The nipper program continues to be successful with 198 children enrolled for the 2023-2024 season.
At the 10 July meeting, PBSLSC sought permission to increase numbers above 200 for forthcoming
seasons. Council officers have no objection to the proposal subject to SLSQ approval
9. Infrastructure, Renewal and Operational Expenses
PBSLSC may continue to require Council support with major infrastructure and renewal and
operational expenses during the next few years of operations. Opportunities for ratepayer financial
support will be considered by application through Council’s community grants program and building
maintenance will be at Council’s discretion subject to its independent assessment and asset
maintenance planning.
10. Bin Storage Area
A bin storage area servicing the Village Square is located on the southern side of the clubhouse and
adjacent to public amenities (see Attachment 2). Feedback from PBSLSC and the community
indicates the type of waste (specifically food waste) and its use as a domestic waste facility present
significant amenity impacts for the club given its proximity to the bin storage area.
Council conducted a site visit earlier this year and implemented a range of actions in response to
club complaints regarding the storage area. This report recommends Council continue to monitor
operation of the bin storage area located adjacent to Peregian Beach SLSC and investigate short
and long term options to manage the impacts of the area to improve club amenity.
11. Drainage and Stormwater issues
PBSLSC have identified stormwater and drainage issues which are presenting challenges to their
operation. Council officers were advised there is water ingress into the bottom floor of building from
the carpark on the western side of the club from rainfall. Excessive water ponding has been observed
in Peregian Beach Park by club members which anecdotally results from poor drainage. This report
recommends both issues are subject to further investigation by Council.
12. ConclusionSurf Lifesaving Clubs are part of the fabric of the Australian community and provide
a range of benefits to its members and to the broader community. PBSLSC have proposed an
incremental increase to patrol services with operations supported by grants and modest income
streams. Council funded SLSQ contract lifeguard services will support club operations during the
club’s establishment phase by allowing the club to provide the appropriate number of members on
each patrol without unsustainably straining available resources and increasing the likelihood of club
failure. There may be future community interest regarding the timing of the club providing full patrol
services within the September to May season. While acknowledging the importance of community
safety and club sustainability, the path to full service provision is not formulaic and will require
decision makers to be pragmatic and realistic given new surf club establishment is an uncommon
occurrence and the factors influencing each surf club’s development are unique.

SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING 12 NOVEMBER 2024
The development of a Future Building Works Plan and update of the club’s Strategic Plan are key
actions which will provide strategic direction and pave the way for future club success. SLSQ remain
available to support the club’s endeavours and support the current management committee who
seek to build on the success of the previous committee.
Council’s foremost priority remains beach safety. If PBSLSC is unsuccessful in its attempts to reform,
Council will be obliged to provide lifeguards via SLSQ contract lifeguard services 365 days per year
to ensure a safe bathing and beach environment is maintained.

C. Apply the exception to the requirement for tendering of the lease under Section 236 (1) (b)

Finance
This report recommends Council fund the service level gap on Saturdays for a further two year period
to assist the club with its efforts to establish, build its membership base and consolidate operations.
The current cost to Council to provide SLSQ lifeguard services on Saturdays and public holidays is
$81,000. PBSLSC’s proposal to increase their patrolling commitment to include public holidays
falling within the September to May patrolling season will decrease Council’s contribution to $46,000.
Risk & Opportunities
Risks
PBSLSC has proposed an increase to beach patrol operations by assuming responsibility for public
holidays within the September to May lifesaving season. An incremental increase to patrol services
provided by the club over time is designed to mitigate the risk of volunteer burnout and to ensure
there are adequate qualified lifesavers on each beach patrol to maintain a safe bathing environment.
Scaling up without adequate active patrolling members risks club failure. If the club fails, the
successful nipper program and volunteer patrol contributions may cease noting Council will be
required to fund year round SLSQ lifeguard services.
Any future proposal from PBSLSC to increase its beach patrol operations to all available days in the
September to May lifesaving season including Saturdays, will require SLSQ endorsement to ensure
the club has appropriate resources to deliver the service without compromising community safety.
Opportunities
PBSLSC is committed to growing its membership base, consolidating its operations and improving
the member experience through club improvements. Strategic planning, good governance, capable
committees and a strong relationship with the community are critical to the ongoing success of the
club.
The nipper program is designed to build children’s confidence in the surf in a fun and supportive
environment and relies heavily on volunteer assistance to ensure its viability. The introduction of
parents and carers to lifesaving via the nipper movement provides a unique opportunity to leverage
future involvement via upskilling and contributions to other areas of the club such as lifesaving
patrols, lifesaver training and committee participation.

PRESIDENT’S REPORT
Two years ago, our club was reestablished and registered with Queensland Office of Fair Trading and affiliated with
Sunshine Coast Branch SLS, Queensland SLS and Australia SLS as its own legal entity of a surf lifesaving club. I
acknowledge the significant contribution that the Noosa Heads SLS club gave for several seasons and the efforts of
the working group in planning for the club to be able to relaunch and have the foundation to have a long-term
future.
The initial plan for the last two seasons has been simple basics. Focus on patrolling the beach well, have a good
nipper program and be financially prudent, which we have continued to achieve. Maintaining these three points
will always be important governance issues for the future.
We now are aiming to build on this success through increasing our membership and improving the club facility. We
have started a plan to increase membership for the whole club, from juniors, associate members and active
patrolling members from the local community. On the club facility a master plan has been created. The
improvements will enhance the existing building through staged works. In July we are planning to renovate the
upstairs kitchen to improve the income from venue hire and for our members to enjoy social events for the
lifesaving club.
Thanks to all the members of the lifesaving board who as volunteers have given of their time in the belief that a
lifesaving service at Peregian Beach is important. To all the members of the supporters’ committee, your
management of the markets and events throughout the year is the financial backbone of the club, thank you.
I look forward to seeing the club continue its improvement in the upcoming seasons.
Yours in Lifesaving.

ADMINISTRATION REPORT
The 2023-2024 season has focused on consolidating our administration operations, continuing the strong foundations
that were laid over the 2022-2023 re-launch season. Maintaining and refining membership structures and processes to
ensure members services are effective and databases are accurate has been key to ensure the Club has a clear picture
of where it is currently positioned and where it needs to grow to continue to effectively serve our community. I would
like to acknowledge the tireless work that the club administrator, Marcella Barton, does in this space. Her commitment
and dedication to excellence has seen the administration of the club become more effective and efficient this season.
The Club has seen an overall increase in membership this season, especially in the Nippers realm. The Nippers
program is going from strength to strength with most age groups full, with waiting lists. This season we welcomed
Linda Hennessey to the administrative team. Her primary focus is on Nipper membership processes. This is a
recognition of the vital role the Nippers program plays in the tapestry that is the Peregian Surf Lifesaving Club. I
would like to acknowledge and thank Zane Tomlinson, Tom Britten and the Junior Activities Committee for their
boundless energy and dedication to creating such a fun, engaging and inclusive Nippers program. The Club’s future
is very good hands.
While our membership has grown this season, this growth has not been reflected in the active 18+ category which
populates the bulk of our on-beach patrols. In response, the Board embarked on an intensive recruiting program
through letter box drops, social media blasts and implementing recruiting incentives. Given that patrol duties will
expand next season to cover Sundays and public holidays and that patrol duties will likely expand further in the
2025-2026 season to cover Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, it is vital that the Club grows the active
membership to meet this expansion of duties.
Maintaining clear, effective and efficient lines of communication is the cornerstone of any organisation and
Peregian Surf Lifesaving Club is no different. I would like to thank Stacey Hutchinson who, as Director of
Communication and Events and chair of the events committee, has continued to manage the Club’s email database,
monthly newsletters, social media presence and the social calendar of events at the Club. This is a massive
undertaking, bringing our members together to serve our community and to enjoy each other's company. I would
also like to thank Marinus Jansen who has been instrumental in the ongoing management of the Club’s website and
IT processes.
Volunteers have always played an extremely important role within Australian societies and it’s wonderful to see
that tradition continue within our Club. I would like to acknowledge and thank the office bearers and support
committees that have worked tirelessly this season to advance the Club. The supporter’s club led by Marinus
Jansen has managed clubhouse hire and the Peregian Beach Markets to raise the much-needed funds to ensure the
the Club’s core lifesaving responsibilities. The facilities committee led by Rob McCready, through constant
consultation, has created a fantastic design for the redevelopment of the clubhouse facility that will meet the
Club’s core lifesaving commitments as well provide a meeting place where our community can gather in style and
comfort. The lifesaving committee, led by Club Captain Damon Faint, have put vision into action ensuring our
patrols are resourced and trained to provide the best possible care on our beach
I would like to particularly thank this season’s Board for their support and guidance. Your commitment to providing
effective, strategic governance has placed the Club in an extremely strong position to meet the challenges of the
future. I would especially like to thank outgoing Club President, John Roderick. Your leadership over the past three
years has put the Club firmly on a pathway to success.

LIFESAVING
Again for 2023/2024 season I would like to acknowledge the efforts of all Patrolling Members, and the generous
support of Brisbane Lifesaving Service, Alexandra Headland and volunteers from other local clubs including Coolum,
Mooloolaba and Noosa Heads. This season we were fortunate to have Noosa, Mooloolaba and Sunshine Coast Branch
train up our members in the critical award courses for IRB drivers (4) IRB crew (4) and Rescue Watercraft (5) as well
as having several of our members become Silver Medallion holders (5). This is a great improvement from the previous
year and will assist the club's expansion of Patrols into Sunday and public holiday patrols for 24/25 ensuring we
continue to have strong volunteering numbers on the beach.
I'd like to acknowledge our experienced patrol captains whom without their tireless week in, week out support, we
couldn't continue our lifesaving operations.

NIPPERS
Summary of Season 2023 - 2024
We have continued to grow and build from our successful 2022-2023 relaunch season as our own Club. Our aim this
season was to consolidate from last season and start to put in place the building blocks to be a long-term Nipper
program. Our key Nippers program motos to guide as are:
1. Have Fun while learning about surf water safety to stay safe in the water.
2. Work as a team to keep your mates safe.
3. If you want to, go for competition!
Key achievements:
• Lots of smiles on the Nippers faces.
• Really positive attitude by our Nippers on the beach.
• Seeing the improvement in our Nippers water safety skills.
o Our final day on the beach saw a number of Nippers out the back on boards for their first time!
Very happy Nippers and huge growth in their skill sets.
• Youth has taken off and will only continue to grow, thanks Emma Nixon!
o This was a key growth area for Junior Activities to keep our youth involved in the Club. A huge step
forward!
• We have new faces in the older age groups as well, with a strong culture of working together!
o Call out to our U13 and U14 Nipper cohort who have supported each other and the younger Nipper
groups.
Volunteers
Nippers can’t happen without our volunteers! A huge thank-you to everyone involved in helping out. Volunteer’s
roles included:
• BBQ Helpers (water safety love the free sausage!)
o Karen Luckman / Lisa Britten thank’s for all you do
• Age Managers
• Parent Liaison
• JAAO (the ones who can sign off on pool proficiency's etc)
• Water Safety:
o Nipper Adult Assistant (U6 - U8)
o Bronze/SRC holders (needed to go out beyond waist deep)
• Junior Activities Committe Role’s
Nippers does need more volunteer’s than other sports to run. An example to show this is: We have 10 U9’s Nippers
on the beach for the day. Conditions are:
• Calm day:
o Need 1* Age Manager, 1* Parent Liaison, 2 * water safety [Bronze/SRC]
o 4 volunteers for 10 nippers.
• Intermediate weather / waves
Peregian Beach Surf Lifesaving Club 2023-2024 Annual Report 16
Page 30 of 79
Page 31
o Need 1* Age Manager, 1* Parent Liaison, 3 * water safety [Bronze/SRC]
o 5 volunteers for 10 nippers.
So yes, if you can help out it is greatly appreciated. The more volunteers we have, the more time doing activities
rather than sitting on the sand waiting their turn for our Nippers.

Attendance Season 2023-24 (and looking at 2022-2023)
Our attendance continues to grow, meaning our younger year Nipper groups are full with a waitlist. And in a huge
positive, our older age groups are also growing with new recruits. Attendance remained strong over the season.
Due to the continued interest in our Nippers program, we will be formalising a waitlist approach for the 2024/25
season to help improve our communications to new families. We are putting into place some lessons learnt from
the 22/23 and 23/24 season. Key points of this approach are:
• Existing Nipper families will need to confirm they are returning in early August each year (and if they have a
new family member ie. U6).
o This is critical to give time to identify available spots for new families.
• Then new families will be contacted from the waitlist and given one (1) week to accept the offer and join
the Club.
o We have a policy around water safety to ensure fairness to everyone.
This new approach is needed to ensure we can clearly communicate to all new potential members possibility of a
place, while also leaving time for all the essentials of pool proficiency and getting the Nippers clothing. Plus time to
prepare for the new season kick-off.

Key Budget Spends
This season we wanted to start renewing our Nipper equipment. Our goal is to have a rolling program of replacing
some stock each year. Key expenditure included:
• 15 new Phantom Boogie Boards [huge thanks to Noosa Surf Outlet]
o Keeping our U 6 to U9 Nippers having fun
o We will replace more boogie boards in the 25/26 season
• 10 new Nipper Foamies (6’6”) [RaceOne gave a great special]
o We plan to replace ~10 boards a year.
o Great to see the Nippers out the back on our new foamies
• 4 new fibreglass Nipper competition boards
o To help out our Nipper who want to compete, already put to use
• 4 new fibreglass Youth boards
o our Youth desperately needed some more boards their size.
o A great reception already!
• 10 * Rescue Tubes
o We kept running short as so many water safety helping out (best problem ever to have).
• Volunteer Clothing:
o Water Safety Rashies + Caps
o Age Manager Rashies
o Nipper Adult Assistant Rashies
o Polo Shirts for Parent Liaisons and Age Managers
• Nipper BBQ Fridge and BBQ
• Subsidized events:
o Part cost of the Nipper Aqua Park entry covered + Food
o Twilight Event covered.
Approximate Spends:
• Boards + tubes = $13 000 + $7000 (Youth BOARDS)
• Clothing for Volunteers = ~ $2500
Peregian Beach Surf Lifesaving Club 2023-2024 Annual Report 18
Page 32 of 79
Page 33
• BBQ new Friday + BBQ = $1600 ?? (fridge was $630)
• Subsidise Twilight and Nipper break-up events ~ $6500 (approximate guess by me)
• Insurance Charge for our Nippers = KAne – Do you know what we pay?
Special thanks to suppliers who made possible above buys, with special pricing for Nippers:
• Noosa Outlet Surf
• Race One Surf Craft
• IGA Peregian Beach

EVENTS REPORT
Together with the Peregian Beach Surf Life Saving Supporters Club, we have hosted and run a variety of events for
both PBSLSC members and the wider community. We kicked off the season with our Back to Beach Club Season
kick-off event and followed this up with member’s nights, club choirs, a comedy night, a Joe Cocker Experience
night and our end of season Presentation Night. All these events have been well received, and it has been lovely to
see Peregian community returning to our club and support us. Once the new kitchen and bar area have been
upgraded, we look forward to being able to extend our events calendar.

5.3 ADOPTION OF NOOSA COUNCIL STRATEGIC LAND ACTIVATION POLICY
Author Director Corporate Services, Trent Grauf
Corporate Services Department
Index Index: 46.15 Use of Council Land and 46.16 Use of State Land
Attachments 1. ATTACHMENT 1. Noosa Council Strategic Land Activation Policy
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report presents a recommendation for Council to adopt a Strategic Land Activation Policy (the
Policy). The Policy has been developed to ensure Council optimises the use of its land assets in
alignment with its long-term strategic objectives. The Policy provides a structured, systematic
approach to direct the activation and development of land assets. It is designed as an operational
directive to improve the utilisation of land and deliver long-term economic, social and environmental
benefits for the Noosa region.
By implementing a structured framework, the Policy embeds processes of due diligence,
comprehensive assessment and benefit review to ensure land activation aligns with Council’s
strategic objectives. It also introduces an internal working group to provide a stage-gate review of
proposals, ensuring sound review and feasibility assessment. The Policy does not grant decision-
making powers but instead outlines best practices for guiding land activation processes.
The Policy is designed to facilitate well-considered land use, aligning with Council's economic, social,
and environmental priorities while ensuring transparency and accountability. Adoption of the Policy
will ensure best practice land activation and sustainable development across the Noosa region.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Director Corporate Services to the Services and Organisation
Committee dated 12 November 2024 and adopt the Strategic Land Activation Policy, provided at
Attachment 1 to the report.
REPORT
BACKGROUND
Noosa Council manages a diverse portfolio of land assets, which play a key role in achieving the
Council's strategic objectives across community, environmental and economic domains. As the
demands on land and infrastructure grow, the strategic use and activation of land assets become
increasingly important for Council's ability to serve the community.
Land Activation is described as the process of utilising or developing land assets to maximise their
potential and value, aligning with Council’s strategic objectives. Land assets are properties or parcels
of land owned, managed or influenced by Council that hold value for their potential to support various
activities, including both developed and undeveloped areas. It may also include future acquisitions
for this purpose.
The Policy aims to implement a more proactive and planned framework for activation of land. As the
community, infrastructure and other competing demands grow, a strategic approach to Land
Activation is essential. This Policy provides a structured and systematic approach to ensure land
assets, when activated, are used to their full potential.
Page 54 of 79
Page 55
SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING 12 NOVEMBER 2024
With limited public resources and increasing expectations for local government to strengthen
communities, it is crucial to maximise the value and utility of land assets. This Policy guides an
informed and proactive approach where land assets are viewed as strategic opportunities to drive
positive outcomes for both the community and Council.
EXPLANATION OF ITEM
The adoption of the Policy by Council will embed a structured process within the organisation for
managing and activating Council-owned land assets. The Policy itself does not grant decision-
making powers, instead it serves as a best-practice framework to direct Council officers and leaders
in aligning land use with the broader strategic objectives of Council.
The Policy is designed to facilitate proactive land activation by setting out clear procedures for
identifying, assessing, and leveraging land assets. By adopting this Policy, Council will empower the
organisation to maximise the value of land assets and contribute to long-term strategic outcomes
without superseding existing decision-making processes.
The Policy is designed to guide Noosa Council in managing and optimising its land portfolio in a way
that supports the region’s strategic priorities. It provides a framework for decision-making regarding
the activation, use, acquisition, or divestment of Council-owned land, ensuring alignment with long-
term community, economic, and environmental goals. The Policy aims to transform underutilised
land assets into valuable resources that benefit the entire community while maintaining a sustainable
and responsible approach to land use.
POLICY OVERVIEW
Purpose:
The purpose of the Policy is to establish a clear, transparent and operational framework for land
activation. Particularly, the Policy will guide Council in:
• Maximising the value and utility of land assets.
• Ensuring land assets contribute to Council’s strategic objectives.
• Providing a structured process for assessing land opportunities, risks and strategic
alignment.
Application:
The Policy will apply to all land assets over which Council has influence, including those owned,
leased, or managed under trusteeship. The primary activities covered under the Policy include:
• Land Activation Projects: Initiatives aimed at maximising land potential to meet community
and strategic objectives.
• Commercial Activities: Commercial enterprises proposed on Noosa Council land, provided
they align with Council’s strategic goals and deliver benefit to the community.
• Community and Environmental Projects: Projects that aim to enhance community welfare,
promote social cohesion and uphold environmental values, including a focus on conservation
or address specific community needs in line with Council’s objectives in line with Council’s
objectives.
• Strategic Infrastructure Development: The development of key infrastructure projects which
are essential to supporting regional growth and service levels.
Out of scope activities include non-commercial recreational use, events and festivals and civil
infrastructure renewal.

SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING 12 NOVEMBER 2024
Land Activation Framework:
The Policy introduces a structured land activation framework that embeds a robust process of due
diligence, benefit assessment and thorough review of all concepts and proposals. This framework
ensures that before any land activation moves forward, an internal working group assesses the
viability, financial sustainability and alignment with Council’s strategic objectives.
While the working group is not a decision-making body, it acts as a crucial stage gate, conducting
detailed collaborative reviews across all key organisational disciplines to confirm that concepts and
proposals are well-founded, properly scoped and sound from both a strategic and community
perspective. This process ensures that all land activations undergo comprehensive scrutiny,
enabling better-informed decision-making at higher levels of Council.
Implementation:
The adoption of the Policy will require its integration into the Council’s operational processes. This
will involve regular scanning for opportunities to identify land that can be activated to meet strategic
goals, conducting thorough due diligence to assess potential land opportunities and maintaining a
centralised register of land assets to track and manage projects. The Policy will be reviewed every
four years to ensure it remains aligned with Council’s evolving strategic objectives and community
needs.
Expected Outcomes:
By implementing the Policy, Council is expected to increase the value generated from its land assets
through well-planned development, infrastructure improvements and strategic partnerships. The
Policy will help strengthen Council’s financial sustainability by diversifying revenue streams through
land use while also enhancing community amenities and public spaces by activating underutilised
land to better meet the needs of residents and visitors. Additionally, it will ensure that all land use
decisions are environmentally sound, supporting long-term sustainability goals and promoting the
protection of natural resources.
GOVERNANCE
Legislative/Legal Implications
While the Policy itself does not grant legal or legislative authority for land transactions or
developments, it operates within the framework of existing statutory requirements and regulations.
Any activation of land will still be subject to compliance with local, state, and federal laws, including
zoning regulations, environmental legislation and planning approvals.
Additionally, the Policy ensures that due diligence is conducted for each land activation project,
which includes a thorough legal review to mitigate risks and ensure all actions are legally sound.
This approach helps safeguard Council from legal challenges and ensures that land activations are
carried out in accordance with the law and best practices.

Previous Council Consideration
Nil
Finance
• The Policy creates opportunities to diversify Council’s revenue streams by utilising land
assets for commercial purposes, such as leasing, partnerships or development. This could
result in increased income over time, supporting Council’s long term financial sustainability.
• Where considered appropriate and in alignment to the QTC Project Decision framework,
independent and detailed business cases will be prepared to comprehensively understand
analysis to seek independent assessment of project value.
• Any financial costs arising from land activation concepts or proposals will be managed
through Council’s established operational and capital budgetary cycle. All proposed land
activation projects will undergo thorough assessment and be subject to Council’s standard
approval processes, ensuring that funding allocations align with strategic priorities and
financial sustainability. This approach guarantees that any financial commitments are
carefully considered and incorporated within Council’s broader budgetary planning, ensuring
responsible management of resources.
Risk & Opportunities
Risks:
Without a formal Policy to govern land activation, Council faces several key risks, including:
• Inefficient use of resources: Without a structured approach, there is a higher likelihood that
land assets will be underutilised or not aligned with strategic objectives, leading to missed
opportunities for community and economic benefits.
• Inconsistent decision-making: Ad hoc decision-making may result in actions that conflict with
Council’s long-term goals or strategic plans, which can impact community trust and
governance.
• Financial risks: Poorly planned land activations may lead to increased costs, legal
complications, or investments in projects that do not deliver meaningful returns or benefits.
• Environmental, economic and social risks: Failure to activate land with sustainability in mind
could lead to negative environmental impacts and missed social and economic opportunities
to enhance community welfare, cohesion and job creation.
Opportunities:
The Policy presents significant opportunities for Council and the broader Noosa community:
• Economic Development: By strategically activating land for commercial and community
projects, Council can stimulate local economic growth, generate revenue streams and
diversify the region's economic base.
• Community Enhancement: The activation of underutilised land for parks, community spaces,
or environmental projects can strengthen social cohesion, enhance local amenities, and
improve the overall quality of life for residents.

SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING 12 NOVEMBER 2024
• Environmental Sustainability: The Policy aligns with Noosa’s environmental goals, ensuring
land activations contribute to the preservation and enhancement of natural systems, climate
resilience, and low-carbon outcomes.
• Improved Governance: A structured, merit-based framework ensures that land activations
are thoroughly assessed for their alignment with Council’s strategic objectives, reducing the
likelihood of inefficient or misaligned projects.

ATTACHMENT 1. NOOSA COUNCIL STRATEGIC LAND ACTIVATION POLICY
Council Policy
STRATEGIC LAND
ACTIVATION POLICY
Corporate Plan Reference: Theme 5 Excellence
Endorsed by Council: 21 November 2024
Policy Author: Director Corporate Services
POLICY STATEMENT
Noosa Council manages a portfolio of Land Assets that play a key role in achieving Noosa Council’s
strategic objectives.
As Noosa's Shire’s competing requirements for land demands grow, a strategic approach to Land
Activation is essential. This Policy provides a structured and systematic approach to ensure land assets,
when activated, are used to their full and optimum potential in line with the Noosa Plan 2020.
With limited public resources and increasing expectations for local government to strengthen
communities, it is crucial to maximise the value and utility of land assets.
This Policy guides Council Officers to take an informed, proactive and strategic approach to the
activation of Council owned land to drive positive outcomes for both the community and Council,
balanced with Council’s environmental values and the importance of retaining land for conservation.
PURPOSE
The Policy aims to provide a clear and structured framework for land activation by Council, ensuring
Land Assets support service provision while delivering meaningful impacts aligned with Council’s
strategies and goals.
By doing so, the Policy seeks to unlock opportunities for economic growth, community enhancement
and environmental stewardship.
SCOPE
This Policy applies to all land over which Council has influence, whether through current ownership,
trusteeship, leasing, licensing or future ownership.
In respect of Council’s strategic land holdings, Council may consider opportunities for Activation,
Acquisition, Divesting, Holding or Continuing (no change).
To support these potential actions, the Policy covers a wide range of strategic or priority land activation
activities generally featuring investment in non-core (or essential) infrastructure and revenue
generation. This may include:
• Land Activation Projects: Initiatives aimed at utilising land over which Council has influence to
achieve strategic outcomes.
• Commercial Activities: Commercial enterprises proposed on Noosa Council land, provided they
align with Council’s strategic goals and deliver benefit to the community.
• Community or Environment Projects: Projects that aim to enhance community welfare,
promote social cohesion and uphold environmental values, including a focus on conservation or
address specific community needs in line with Council’s objectives.
• Strategic Infrastructure Development: The development of key infrastructure projects on
Council land which are essential to supporting regional growth and service levels.

Page 60
OUT OF SCOPE
This Policy does not apply to the following, which may be governed by separate Council policies:
• Non-Commercial Recreation Use: Recreational use by the community that is not associated
with commercial activities or revenue generation.
• Community and Commercial Land Use Permits (Including Footpath Trading and Dining):
Activities related to trading and dining on footpaths, which are governed by separate Council
policies and specific Council regulations.
• Events and Festivals: Special events, festivals and public gatherings that are temporary and not
part of long-term land activation projects.
• Essential Core Civil Infrastructure Projects: Construction of essential infrastructure not limited
to roads, bridges and stormwater.
• Infrastructure Renewal or Replacement: Capital expenditure on renewal or replacement which
are essential for operational continuity rather than strategic land activation.
• Environment Levy Program: Land acquisitions, management and maintenance which are
governed by separate Council policy, guidelines and processes.
REVIEW
This policy will be reviewed once per Council term (every four years) or as required.

budgets may be utilised.
Step 2 Merit Assessment
Purpose To evaluate the concept and information gathered in relation to the proposed Land
Activation to:
• Ensure alignment with endorsed organisational strategies, plans and policies.
• Priority rank competing organisational strategies, plans and policies.
• Assess the concept and determine risks and opportunities with reference to risk
tolerance levels within Council’s Risk and Opportunity Framework.
• Assess highest, best and complimentary uses (current and future).
Key Actions • Internal stakeholder consultation to gather input and assess potential impacts.
• Desktop feasibility to assess the site suitability, viability and potential benefits of
the proposed Land Activation.
• Evaluate the extent to which the concept aligns with Council’s Strategies, Plans
and strategic objectives.
• Assessment of social, community, economic and environmental impacts.
• Review funding or grant opportunities.
Outcomes Evaluate benefits, impact, alignment and value before progressing further.
Commitments No commitment to proceed.
No dedicated budget – where investigation costs are required, existing operational

Page 62
budgets may be utilised.
Step 3 Internal Council Officer (Working Group) Peer Review
Purpose Internal collaborative critical peer review of due diligence and merit assessment with
a focus on assessing value as well as competing or complimentary land use and
demand requirements.
The Working Group will consist of Council officers, and if required relevant
stakeholders.
In cases of conflicting needs or priorities, competing Land Activation may be
escalated to the Executive Leadership Team, ensuring a clear reporting line for final
decision-making.
The next step following internal review may include seeking Council approval,
revision or rejection.
Key Actions • Conduct internal stakeholder consultation to gather input and assess potential
impacts.
• Perform a desktop feasibility to assess the viability and potential benefits of the
proposed land activation.
• Assessment of social, community, economic and environmental impacts.
• Evaluate the potential to achieve complimentary financial, economic,
environmental and social outcomes.
• Issue an organisational call-out to ensure there are no other opportunities, ideas
or projects in place for the land.
Commitments No commitment to proceed.
No dedicated budget – where investigation costs are required, existing operational
budgets will be utilised.
Step 4 Budget Initiative Request
Purpose Secure funding for the development of a detailed business case, feasibility study or
master plan if needed, ensuring that the land activation concept is thoroughly
reviewed before advancing.
Key Actions • Budget request for undertaking detailed business case, feasibility or master plan
if required.
Commitments Commitment to fund and undertake detailed review only.
Outcomes of this stage will inform Council decision to proceed with the concept as
a project.

Steps 1-8 Support
Support Operational procedures, forms, templates, and training will be provided throughout
Steps 1-8 of the Land Activation Framework to ensure consistent implementation,
support decision-making, and equip Council officers with the necessary tools and
knowledge for effective land activation.
IMPLEMENTATION
To ensure that the policy is effectively implemented, it should be embedded within Council’s business
and operational processes. Key components of this approach include:
• Regular Scanning for Opportunities: Regular and proactive search for potential land activation
opportunities that could deliver significant impacts for the community and Council. This involves a
continuous review of Council’s land portfolio to identify underutilised or strategically important land
assets that could be activated.
• Comprehensive Due Diligence: Before any land activation is undertaken, a thorough due
diligence process should be conducted. This includes site analysis, environmental assessments,
legal reviews, consultation with key stakeholders and needs assessment. The goal is to ensure
5
Strategic Land Activation Policy
Page 63 of 79
Page 64
that all potential risks, challenges and opportunities are fully understood before a project proceeds.
• Centralised Register of Opportunities: A centralised register of prioritised land activation
opportunities and projects that serves as a key resource for tracking and managing Council’s land
assets, ensuring that opportunities are pursued in a coordinated and strategic manner.
• Land Activation Framework: A land activation framework that provides a structured process for
evaluating and advancing land activation projects. This framework includes a Working Group
Review process, where representatives from across Council’s departments and disciplines
collaborate to assess the feasibility, alignment and potential impacts of proposed projects.
POLICY COMPLIANCE
All Land Activation should align with this Policy, to ensure optimal outcomes are achieved through
comprehensive due diligence and merit-based assessment.

Risk & Opportunities
Opportunities, Risks and Initiatives
The construction industry continues to experience shortages in contractor and material availability
which also impacts the inflation of tender pricing. Given the relatively low value projects undertaken
by Council, the larger and more competent contractors are more likely to commit their resources to
higher value projects on offer elsewhere. These factors pose a risk to the delivery of the 2024/25
Capital Works Program.
The approved capital budget of $53.8 million, which includes a substantial carryover of $22.4 million
from 2023/24, is an over-optimistic target given the size of the internal pool of project managers.
This challenge is further exacerbated by the current major restructure of IPDD, high staff turnover
and the loss of skills to competing markets, increasing pressure on staff. Strategies being
implemented to mitigate these impacts include:
• Sourcing external project management consultancy services.
• Exploiting recruitment options to engage resources to strengthen internal teams.
• Packaging works into sizeable contracts to attract established contractors.
