11.4 SHIRLEY NOCENTE
      Topic: Noosaville Infrastructure Foreshore Masterplan

Question 1.
I am an 81-year-old local resident who has lived in Noosa and paid rates since 1969. I enjoy spending
time at the Noosaville waterfront every week and many times during the year with my family for
picnics and BBQs. Why, as a part of the Noosaville Foreshore Master Plan, does the Noosa Council
want to use our own Rates to limit Residents' access to the river by taking away over 100 riverside
park parks? Does this action reflect a covert Noosa Council policy to reduce the car park numbers
at key locations around our shire, as the Council did at the surf club at Christmas?

Question 2.
I was lucky enough to live opposite the Lions Park in Noosaville during the 1970s, and my family has
been fortunate to grow up around our beautiful river during that time and since. Why does the Noosa
Council plan to forever ruin the feel and soul of this special place, our beloved Noosaville foreshore,
with its overly elaborate plans, including fake sand dunes that will take up valuable picnic areas and
separate the grass and river bank spaces, making it impossible for parents to keep an eye of their
kids? Doesn't the Council believe that our Noosaville foreshore is beautiful as it is and only requires
the lightest touch?
