PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                               25 FEBRUARY 2014


Common themes emerging from the consultation include:

   That Noosa Main Beach and adjoining areas cannot support more surf school, kayaking or
    beach hire activities if current businesses are to remain viable;
   That a flat fee structure be adopted by Noosa Council. Activities that attract patrons at high
    profile locations should pay more than those permit holders with less opportunity. For
    example, main beach surf schools should pay more than the beach massage and catamaran
    hire;
   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; and
   That local businesses which value add and provide a memorable Noosa experience, be
    granted preference over larger businesses from outside the local area.
