SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                  10 APRIL 2018


Previous Council Consideration
Ordinary Meeting, 20 April 2017, Item 6, Page 7
That Council note the report by the Property Officer to the Services & Organisation Committee
Meeting dated 11 April 2017 and:
A.      Set fees and charges for the North Shore Beachfront Campground to align with the
        cessation of the July 2018 Queensland school holidays;
B.      Adopt the Proposed Commercial Charges Schedule for the Noosa North Shore Beachfront
        Campground for the period ending 16 July 2018 as detailed in the tables contained within
        the report; and
C.      Authorise the Chief Executive Officer to enter into an extension to the current management
        agreement with Beachfront Caravan Park Pty Ltd for 10 months commencing 1 August
        2017.

Finance
The draft Noosa North Shore Beach Campground 2018/19 budget includes costs in relation to
the management of the site.

Risks & Opportunities
Risks

Failure to extend the management agreement exposes Council to contractual risk, WHS (during
site redevelopment), financial and succession planning risks should the current manager not
continue for the additional period.

Opportunities

Extension of the management agreement allows campground operations to continue without a
break in service continuity during the campground redevelopment by allowing the Manager to
provide site security, accept bookings and manage enquiry to ensure that revenue is maximised
when the campgrounds reopen at the commencement of the 2018 Christmas school holiday
period.

A full tender for the provision of management services is proposed to be undertaken at the
cessation of the 2018/19 Christmas school holiday period.

Extension of the management agreement aligns with Theme 5 of Council’s Corporate Plan –
Excellence as a Council – Maximise financial opportunities for Council land holding for the
purpose of maximising non-rate revenue.
