     That the tender process be a simplified expression of interest process. Previous application
      processes focused on writing skills and provision of detailed information, as opposed to
      quality of actual service provided, years of experience and number of complaints;
     That local businesses which value add and provide a memorable Noosa experience be
      granted preference over larger businesses from outside the local area.
In March this year, Council conducted consultation with active commercial real estate agents. In
summary these agents:
     Suggested a minimum base charge with tenderers able to submit a price above the
      minimum;
     Suggested Council set minimum experience standards in criteria;
     Advised that for comparison purposes, commercial rent in Hastings Street is in the range of
      $1,750 to $8,000 square metre.
