Key Decisions & Discussions
• Amelia Lorentson referred MSQ’s Recreational Boating Facilities Demand Forecast Study 2022 to General Committee given its shire-wide significance, with direction to refine Council’s response (Item 5.1; 29:07).
• Craig and Dean outlined support for six of seven MSQ priority ramp/pontoon projects, rejecting Chaplin Park as inconsistent with the Foreshore Land Management Plan and community expectations (Item 5.1; 03:50, 23:31).
• Joe Jurisevic pressed for modern demand-management (sensors, apps, message boards) and regulation of uncoupled trailers; officers agreed to include these asks to MSQ/State (Item 5.1; 11:08–14:29).
• Larry Sengstock confirmed staged approach: immediate focus on Hastings St parking tech trial; boat trailer parking not currently funded; pontoons seen as “low-hanging fruit” (Item 5.1; 18:46–22:04).
• Council noted Noosa River’s constrained carrying capacity and policy to avoid cluttering with jetties/pontoons; emphasised need for proper traffic and environmental assessment absent from MSQ’s block-drawings (Item 5.1; 07:41–23:27).
• Request for technology-enabled regional parking visibility and consideration of Sydney-style “No parking – motor vehicles excepted” trailer restrictions flagged for inclusion in the Parking Management Plan (Item 5.1; 15:00–17:12).
• Approval to negotiate a 3‑year freehold permit for Cooran Organic Garden Inc. at King Park, applying the community-organisation tender exemption (LGR 2012 s236(1)(b)(ii)) (Item 5.2; 31:00–35:06).
• RADF Round 19 approved subject to 2023/24 budget; six grants totalling $36,285; acquittal obligations restated (Item 5.3; 41:10–42:49).
• Community Grants Round One overview adopted: 15 projects recommended; $157,296.68 funding across Events/Equipment/Infrastructure/Programs subject to budget (Items 5.4–5.7; 44:34–57:19).
• Equipment grants: eight applications supported with conditions; emphasis on sustainability for Kin Kin’s programs (Item 5.8; 01:00:10–01:05:32).
• Confidential: Council expanded Salvation Army Community Housing Services lease area from 2,552m² to 4,540m² for 20 years; applied community-organisation tender exemption; CEO delegated to finalise (Item 7.1; 01:21:21–01:22:18).
• Confidential: Approved commercial leases for telecommunications facilities at Cooyar St, Noosa Heads with Amplitel and Optus; applied telecoms exemption (LGR 2012 s236(1)(c)(vi)); CEO delegated (Item 7.2; 01:25:04).
Contentious / Transparency Matters
• MSQ study criticised for lack of regional lens, traffic engineering, and environmental due diligence; Council to seek redesigns and reject Chaplin Park proposal (Item 5.1; 02:18–23:31).
• Councillors pushed for transparent tech (sensors/apps) to signal trailer-park availability and reduce congestion; officers to elevate with State given Council budget gaps (Item 5.1; 11:08–14:29).
• Trailer-parking policy reform discussed, including signage limiting trailers in residential streets; flagged for broad community consultation via Parking Management Plan (Item 5.1; 15:00–17:12).
• Closure of meeting justified under LGR 2012 s254J(3)(f),(g); reasons read into the record before entering closed session; resolutions publicly restated on reopening (Item 7; 01:06:07–01:25:24).
• Community consultation for Cooran Garden evidenced by 170 signatures and business letters; site choice assessed as underutilised with minimal conflicts (Item 5.2; 31:01–33:45).
Legal / Risk
• Conflict of interest handling aligned with Local Government Act 2009 Ch 5B; councillors declared and left the room prior to debate/vote, with alternate chair appointed where required (Items 5.3, 5.5, 5.8; 39:55–41:10; 46:25–47:05; 59:30–01:04:29).
• Tender exemptions correctly cited for disposals to community orgs (s236(1)(b)(ii)) and telecom purposes (s236(1)(c)(vi)); mitigates procurement challenge risk if strictly applied to facts (Items 5.2, 7.1, 7.2).
• Environmental risk flagged: MSQ’s block concepts could entail mangrove impact/river reclamation (Hilton Terrace) without approvals; Council insists on redesign and approvals pathway (Item 5.1; 23:15–23:27).
• Operational risk: absence of funded short‑term trailer‑parking works; interim reliance on planning studies and advocacy may prolong congestion on peak boating days (Item 5.1; 04:29–07:22).
• River capacity and clutter controls anchored to existing river policy/desirable environmental outcomes; failure to heed may trigger non‑compliance with planning/environmental instruments (Item 5.1; 07:41–11:08).
Conflicts of Interest
• Frank Wilkie declared a prescribed COI (President, Noosa Arts Theatre) for RADF; left room; later a declarable COI as possible member of Peregian/“Bridge and Bridge” Community House; left room (Items 5.3, 5.5; 39:55–41:10; 49:12–50:10).
• Joe Jurisevic declared a declarable COI (judge, Great UpCycle Challenge) for RADF; left room (Item 5.3; 40:14–40:38).
• Clare Stewart declared declarable COIs (friendship with Katie Rose Cottages fundraiser; family links to Noosa Rugby and Tewantin Noosa Cricket); left room (Items 5.5, 5.8; 46:25–46:43; 59:30–59:59).
• Amelia Lorentson declared a declarable COI (children members of Noosa Boardriders; involvement assisting permit condition) for Equipment grants; vacated chair; Frank Wilkie appointed Acting Chair (Item 5.8; 01:03:22–01:04:29).
Boating Infrastructure & River Capacity
• No significant ramp capacity increases in ~30 years; activation rate ~80% on good boating days; nine facilities/12 lanes now vs eight/12 in 2017 (Item 5.1; 23:31–25:42).
• Support to pursue pontoons and upgrade existing ramps (Lake St, Moorindil St, Noosa Waters) while rejecting Chaplin Park; redesigns for Albert/Thomas St noted (Item 5.1; 23:31–24:21).
• Advocacy to MSQ: incorporate river traffic capacity, concierge models, and non‑styrofoam pontoons; explore regional parking monitoring and apps (Item 5.1; 11:08–12:52; 25:42–26:36).
• Foreshores master planning underway/out to tender for Noosaville; Tewantin foreshore master planning envisaged; non‑powered water sports study in train (Item 5.1; 04:29–07:22; 27:14).
Community Housing & Social Impact
• Lease expansion for The Salvation Army Community Housing Services to 4,540m² for 20 years signals Council’s long-term support for vulnerable cohorts; confidentiality grounded in health/safety and commercial negotiations (Items 7, 7.1; 01:06:07–01:22:18).
• Decision structure delegates negotiation to CEO, expediting delivery while maintaining statutory compliance via s236 exemptions (Item 7.1; 01:21:21–01:22:18).
Telecommunications Infrastructure
• Renewal/entry of leases with Amplitel and Optus at Cooyar St to secure continuity of mobile services; telecoms exemption applied; CEO delegated (Item 7.2; 01:25:04–01:25:24).
• Joe Jurisevic noted installations have long operated; action formalises tenure and protects service reliability and revenue (Item 7.2; 01:25:04).
Environmental Concerns
• Caution against river reclamation/mangrove impact for proposed Hilton Terrace car park; insistence on approvals and redesign (Item 5.1; 23:15–23:27).
• Policy reaffirmed to avoid river “clutter” and protect carrying capacity; explore non‑styrofoam materials in pontoons to reduce pollution risk (Item 5.1; 07:41–11:08; 25:59–26:36).
