ORDINARY MEETING MINUTES                                                          18 JULY 2024


                been made regarding the proposed concept of a Conservation Park over parts of
                the Noosa River, no advice has been provided by the State Government regarding
                animal management.

                Question 2.
                In response to a resident's question in June ordinary meeting about reduced car
                parking, a Council staff's reply was "Council is committed to encouraging all
                residents and visitors to embrace public and active transport to reduce congestion
                as part its endorsed Transportation Strategy". When were residents advised that
                Council had a strategy to encourage them onto public and active
                transport? Shouldn't residents be consulted before Council enacted a Strategy
                that changed the way residents live their lives? Given the community negative
                reaction to loss of foreshore parking, will Council now consult the community to
                confirm they support its endorsed Transport Strategy which plans to encourage
                them onto public & active transport?
                Response provided by Acting Director Infrastructure Kyrone Dodd
                The development and endorsement of the Noosa Transport Strategy 2017-2027
                involved several stages of community consultation and public input throughout
                2017. Information about the strategy and consultation process was made available
                through multiple channels, including public meetings, Council’s website,
                newsletters, and local media. Over 1,200 submissions were made by the public
                through surveys, submissions and in person events and the final Strategy reflected
                this input. For further information on the consultation process please visit the
                Noosa Transport Strategy 2017-2027 page on Your Say Noosa. Council has
                committed to review the Transport Strategy and prepare a new Movement and
                Connectivity Strategy which will include further community consultation.
