                            for night-time activity attracting a broad spectrum of visitors and residents. Recommendations:                 Council is happy to work in partnership with the Noosa Junction Association to improve amenity and safety   of this submission.
                            -    Expand the scope of the hospitality precinct to explicitly include bars, nightclubs and hotels. These      in Noosa Junction.
                                 venues should be recognized and supported as essential components of a vibrant hospitality and
                                 entertainment district.
                            -    Provide clear and detailed guidelines for music and entertainment activities within the hospitality
                                 precinct. This includes specifying acceptable noise levels, operating hours and other relevant criteria
                                 to ensure operators can comply easily and consistently.
                            -    Successfully managing a vibrant hospitality precinct requires collaboration between operators, NJA,
                                 Council and the Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation. Working together can help create a safe
                                 and attractive environment for operators and customers while addressing noise and other concerns.
                            -    To protect operators and customers and allow entertainment and hospitality venues to operate
                                 without constant fear of vexatious complaints, establishing a Safe Night Precinct or similar
                                 arrangement in Noosa Junction should be implemented. This would help manage and mitigate noise
                                 and other issues while supporting growth in entertainment and hospitality businesses.
                            Ensure current business operators are supported through the transition and implementation of new
                            guidelines. This includes providing resources, training and assistance to help them adapt to any new
                            requirements and continue to thrive in the hospitality precinct.
 5808590                    The new draft amendment includes changes to the hospitality precinct, focusing on food and drink outlets
                            but lacks adequate provisions for bars, nightclubs, and hotels. For Noosa Junction businesses to be
                            sustainable and for the precinct to thrive as a vibrant entertainment and hospitality hub, it is essential to
                            support a diverse range of venues and activities for a mixed demographic. The current amendment’s
                            focus on food and drink outlets, neglects the important roles that bars, small bars, nightclubs, and hotels
                            play in attracting a broad range customers and creating a vibrant hospitality precinct.
                            The current amendments are confusing and lack clarity regarding provisions for music and entertainment.
                            Clear guidelines are needed to support music and entertainment activities while still managing noise and
                            safety.
                            A collaborative approach to music and operating hours between venues, Noosa Junction Association,
                            Council and OLGR to create a viable, hospitality and entertainment approach is needed."
