There are no presentations or deputations that I'm aware of. No, there are none. We move onto item 5, reports for consideration on committee. Item 1 is the parks and playgrounds asset management plan, but we've had a request to move to item 2 first. That is the Noosa – Gympie Waste Management Memorandum of Understanding. We'll go to item 2 first. Little page is on, and welcome Kyrone Raine to the table. Kyrone Raine would you like to give us a bit of an overview of the Memorandum of Understanding and why it's needed?

Thanks Councillor. The report table is to authorise the CEO to progress and sign a Memorandum of Understanding with Gympie Regional Council, allowing Council staff to work together on mutually beneficial activities, in particular but not limited to waste management. The goal. For a waste management perspective is to identify partnerships within waste. For infrastructure and waste management which would be beneficial to both parties. There are several benefits for Noosa and Gympie residents of which a major one is to utilise the over both jurisdictions to support capital feasibility event of many. Major infrastructure which in turn support potential funding from. Entities such as Council of Mayors South East Queensland. The MOU is designed to draw project. Planning processes which will include the necessary. Council approvals required. While being led by a steering committee with. Representatives from both councils.

I know we've looked at or we've spoken about the opportunity before with regard to services on the North Shore, in particular Teewah. My understanding is that Gympie facilitates the waste services on the North Shore? Yes, I believe they do, yes. So there may be an opportunity for further enhanced discussion with regard to Teewah recycling may be incorporated into all recycling services on the North Shore? Yep, something to think about, definitely. Any further Councillors? If not, can I have a mover? Councillor Wilkie, seconder, Councillor Lorentson. All in favour? Yes. Thank you, Clare. Mayor Clare? Thank you. How are you doing? Thanks, guys. Back to item 1 on the agenda, which is the parks and playground asset management act. This is and I notice Brian's not here. He's away on holiday.
