GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 15 AUGUST 2022

• Council is tackling the housing affordability crisis on multiple fronts. Activities such as the
Housing & Homelessness Roadshow and the Social Services Hub helped connect
vulnerable people to housing providers and other support agencies.
• Natural disasters once again impacted our community through successive wet weather and
floods. Our Community Services' teams responded by opening facilities as Evacuation
Centres at Noosa Leisure Centre and Cooroy Library, organising the Noosa Care Army to
assist with the clean-up of flood impacted homes and leading Community Recovery Pop-ups
and Outreach to assist people. Council's Recovery teams continue to support a wide range
of community needs as we return to a new normal.
• Ageing Well and Connecting Noosa programs have been hugely popular in helping
community members improve their physical and emotional wellbeing as well as creating
connections between people.
• Community organisations have been supported as they strive to recover from Covid impacts
and continue to play a key role in the fabric of our community. A key highlight includes the
relocation of the Noosa Community Garden to its new site in Wallace Park.
Floating Land 2021: at the edge of
ideas was a huge success with over 57,000
people attending Noosa's 16-day arts in the
environment biennale. Over 30 installations
and performances were delivered across
Boreen Point and Park Road Boardwalk.

• The feasibility process to explore the potential for a new Noosa Regional Gallery continues
