Question 1.
What specific role and/or involvement does the SEQ Council of Mayors Resilient Rivers Initiative have in the formulation and/or execution of the Noosa River Catchment Management Plan?

Response by Larry Sengstock, Acting Chief Executive Officer 
Council of Mayors South East Queensland (COMSEQ) has indicated its South East Queensland Waterways and Wetlands Investment Strategy, which Council provided input to, is likely to be endorsed by the Resilient Rivers Taskforce in December. 

Council has formulated the Noosa River Catchment Management Plan taking into account the framework for Catchment Action Plans already endorsed by other Councils. Catchment action plans can be developed by Councils, or the Resilient Rivers Initiative in partnership with Council and key stakeholders.

If Council has an existing plan for its catchment it will expedite funding decisions, but the absence of one will not preclude funding for projects, simply delay it until a plan is developed.
 
COMSEQ’s strategy includes a multi criteria analysis for potential projects and sets a vision for funding for the future of the region’s waterways and wetlands. 

COMSEQ has invited Council to put forward high priority projects. Funding for projects is not guaranteed however co-contributions for projects which utilise good science and engineering will be well-received.

Question 2. 
Can council please outline what community consultation occurred before Noosa Council decided and/or resolved to join the SEQ Council of Mayors?

Response by Larry Sengstock, Acting Chief Executive Officer  
The decision to join the SEQ Council of Mayors was made at the Council Meeting on 16 September 2021.  The decision to join COMSEQ has already proven to be advantageous to the shire of Noosa with the access to a range of funding opportunities that Noosa Council would not ordinarily have access to.  With the advent of the 2032 Olympic Games it is important to have a seat at the table to be aware of, and utilise opportunities as they emerge.
