I've been declared-- I, Councillor Stewart, inform the meeting that I've declared a conflict of interest in this matter in relation to the Noosa Waters Lock & Weir new Fees and Charges for access I am a resident of Noosa Waters and contribute to the levy and regularly utilise the Noosa Waters Lock & Weir system. As a result of my conflict of interest, I'll now leave the meeting room where the matter is considered and voted on. Thank you, Mr Chair.

Thank you, Councillor Stewart. Okay, Liam and Michael, would you like to come to the table and talk us through this report, please? Hello, Liam. Hi. What are we looking at here with these new devices? So, as part of the upgrade, we had an opportunity to upgrade the access system for the lock and weir. So, this new system will allow residents the option of purchasing a wireless access remote, which will bring it in line with other locks on the Coast. So, we brought this upgrade in talks with Noosa Waters Residents Association. And basically, the current system only allows card access. So, with the upgrade, you'll still have access to manoeuvre through the lock with a card, which will be in the a club now. But, residents will also have the option of purchasing a wireless remote where they'll be able to not go up to the car beaters, they'll just be able to drive through and action the lock with the wireless remote. So, we're just proposing to include this in the Council's Fees and Charges great. This is all part of the upgrade to the Noosa Waters lock and weir system. How's that going?
Amelia Lorentson69:10
Hey, Liam. Hi. Thank you for the report. In terms of, so, as an old Noosa warden, resident, you know, most residents have a boat and need access in and out of the lock and weir. I note in the report that the residents were consulted by the Noosa Waters Residents Association. So my question to you is, are all residents members of the association. I'm not actually too sure about that, but I know that they meet with them and discuss that and that's how this issue was brought up with meeting with the residents, so. Okay, can I ask that, yeah, thank you.
