| hereby give notice of my intention to move the following motion at the Ordinary Meeting on
Thursday, 20 November, 2014:
1. NOOSARIVER ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECTS
That Council note the presentation to a Council workshop on 14 November 2014 from The
Nature Conservancy and the Thomas Foundation in relation to proposed projects to
improve the environmental outcomes for the Noosa River, and
A. Authorise the Chief Executive Officer to write to The Nature Conservancy and the
Thomas Foundation advising that the Council will provide support for these proposed
projects; and
B. Request the Chief Executive Officer to continue liaison with both The Nature
Conservancy and the Thomas Foundation to develop the proposed projects and to
provide Council with updates as required.
BACKGROUND
As Council would be aware, one of our strategic priorities is improving the environmental
outcomes for the Noosa River. Other organisations are also interested in that outcome and have
approached the Council to outline their proposed approach and to seek the support of the
Council for a series of potential projects in relation to the Noosa River.
A workshop was held at Council on 14 November 2014 involving:
. The Nature Conservancy — an intermationally recognised conservation group which works
across 35 countries internationally including Australia. Basing projects on strong scientific
research, The Nature Conservancy works with partners to deliver environmental
outtcomes.
. The Thomas Foundation - a Noosa based philanthropic organisation that provides
financial support to projects associated with the preservation of biodiversity in Australia.
. Noosa Parks Association — facilitating the support of the Thomas Foundation and the
Nature Conservancy on this issue.
° Noosa Council — the workshop was attended by all Councillors and a number of senior
Staff.
. Other Local Environmental Groups — Noosa and District Landcare Inc and Noosa
Integrated Catchment Association Inc were in attendance at the workshop and were
generally supportive of this initiative.
At the workshop, a number of potential projects were considered with a focus on projects that
have a scientific outcome. The two specific projects which were discussed were as follows:

ORDINARY MEETING AGENDA 20 NOVEMBER 2014
1. A study of the river and lakes historic fish and prawn productivity including an assessment
of present stocks and recovery targets, including species achievable with regeneration; and
2. A preliminary study of the river and lakes systems oyster reef history together with a
scientific analysis of the prospects for the re-establishment of oyster reefs and oyster
‘stepping stones’ including the identification of recovery targets.
There was general consensus at the workshop that these were the types of projects that should
be undertaken and that the involvement of The Nature Conservancy and the Thomas Foundation
would be highly desirable.
To advance these issues, it is proposed that the CEO be authorised to advise both The Nature
Conservancy and the Thomas Foundation of Council's agreement in principle to work together in
partnership on these potential projects with Council's role to focus on:
. Providing some financial support once the proposed projects have been fully scoped and
costed; and
. Providing an interface to government agencies to enable these projects to proceed
(including facilitating any necessary government approvals or other government agency
requirements).
What next?
We should continue to liaise with both The Nature Conservancy and the Thomas Foundation to
assist in advancing these types of projects for the Noosa River. The Nature Conservancy and
the Thomas Foundation are finalising the finer details of these proposed projects and these
details will be provided to Council in due course. At this stage, both The Nature Conservancy
and the Thomas Foundation are simply seeking “in principle" Council support to advance these
projects.

Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003

Act).
The ACH Act establishes a cultural heritage duty of care which provides that: “A
person who carries out an activity must take all reasonable and practicable measures
to ensure the activity does not harm Aboriginal cultural heritage”. It is an offence to
fail to comply with the duty of care. Substantial monetary penalties may apply to
individuals or corporations breaching this duty of care. Injunctions may also be issued

should contact the Cultural Heritage Co-ordination Unit on 07 3238 3838 to discuss
any obligations under the ACH Act.
Equitable Access and Facilities
The plans for the proposed building work have NOT been assessed for compliance

1. the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Commonwealth);
2. the Anti-Discrimination Act 1991 (Queensland); and
3. the Disability (Access to Premises – Buildings) Standards.
4. The applicant is advised that the development works for this permit may require

contrary to the Advertising Devices Code.

with the acceptable solutions of the Advertising Devices Code of The Noosa Plan. In
