Key Decisions & Discussions Rowena Skinner briefed on the State’s Shaping SEQ review, seeking Council-nominated “Great Places,” noting focus on built environments and tight timelines (01:24–03:28) (Item 5.1). Brian Stockwell argued additional “Great Places” descriptions mirror Noosa’s planning scheme and strengthen decision-making if developments undermine identified place values (04:30–06:04) (Item 5.1). Brian Stockwell moved to authorise the CEO to submit additional “Great Places,” with minor grammatical correction accepted administratively; carried unanimously (07:11–07:47) (Item 5.1). Tom Wegener flagged adding the Cooroy Hinterland Adventure Playground to the Cooroy description; staff to administratively refine text (07:54–08:39) (Item 5.1). Amelia Lorentson secured confirmation of a 30 business day public consultation on the draft SEQ plan, expected mid‑June; Council and public can submit (08:39–09:42) (Item 5.1). Sally Benson presented SEQ Climate Resilience Alliance (SEQCRA): a 3‑year MOU, tiered membership; Noosa fee $10k p.a.; aim is regional projects, economies of scale, emissions reduction (10:04–12:06) (Item 5.2). Brian Stockwell cited benefits: coordinated LED streetlight transitions with Energex, renewable purchasing models, community batteries, stronger advocacy, and cost/emissions savings (14:50–17:43) (Item 5.2). Karen Finzel highlighted alignment with Council’s collaboration goals, sustainable procurement, and social enterprise opportunities (19:08–20:16) (Item 5.2). Council endorsed joining SEQCRA for three years; Manager Environment to sit on Executive Steering Committee and Carbon Reduction Officer on Coordination Committee; carried unanimously (12:06–14:07; 14:47–14:50) (Item 5.2). Scott Waters advised Item 5.3 (RAL22/0028, 1→2 lots, 1 Poinciana Ave) could proceed but preferred referral due to a manageable staff conflict; Council referred to General Committee unanimously (21:16–22:08) (Item 5.3). Delegated authority development decisions for March were noted without issue; carried unanimously (22:39–24:34) (Item 6.1). Scott Waters recommended the confidential Kabi Kabi Native Title Consent Determination be referred to General Committee; Council resolved to refer given significance (25:06–25:23) (Item 7.1). Contentious / Transparency Matters Rowena Skinner acknowledged the State has not articulated concrete policy benefits of “Great Place” listing, creating uncertainty about tangible outcomes (03:28–04:30) (Item 5.1). Amelia Lorentson pressed for public consultation and performance reporting; staff confirmed 30‑day public exhibition and annual alliance reporting (08:39–09:42; 17:45–18:35) (Items 5.1, 5.2). Referral of RAL22/0028 and the Native Title item to General Committee was framed to ensure broader councillor participation and full debate (21:57–22:08; 25:06–25:23) (Items 5.3, 7.1). Minor textual corrections (grammar; Cooroy playground) were addressed transparently on the record as administrative fixes (07:31–08:39) (Item 5.1). Legal / Risk Planning Act strict timeframes underpin reliance on delegated authority for routine house/operational works decisions, reducing appeal/processing risk (23:06–24:19) (Item 6.1). Elevating “Great Places” into the SEQ Regional Plan can provide higher‑order policy support for refusals/conditions if proposals conflict with place values, aiding appeal defensibility (04:30–06:19) (Item 5.1). SEQCRA’s 3‑year MOU and defined committees establish governance and accountability for spend and outcomes; annual reporting was committed (12:06–14:07; 17:45–18:35) (Item 5.2). The Native Title Consent Determination was handled in confidential session parameters and elevated due to significance, mitigating procedural risk and ensuring full Council consideration (25:06–25:23) (Item 7.1). CEO-managed staff conflict on RAL22/0028 and referral reduce maladministration risk and align with conflict management obligations (21:16–22:08) (Item 5.3).

Tom Wegener called for conflicts on Item 6.1; none declared by councillors (23:14–23:32) (Item 6.1). Environmental Concerns & Climate Action SEQCRA targets regional emissions cuts, resilience projects, and cost savings via shared coordinator and joint grant bids; Noosa fee $10k p.a. (10:04–12:06) (Item 5.2). Priority opportunities cited: LED streetlight transition with Energex, renewable power purchase models, community batteries, and joint community education (14:50–17:43; 18:35–19:08) (Item 5.2). Alliance aligns with State targets (30% emissions cut by 2030; 50% renewables by 2030; net zero by 2050) and Noosa’s Net Zero by 2026 organisational goal (10:04–12:06) (Item 5.2). Planning Scheme & Regional Plan Interface Additional “Great Places” nominations (building on Hastings St and Opal St, Cooroy) seek regional recognition of local place attributes consistent with Noosa’s planning scheme (03:01–06:19) (Item 5.1). Potential rationalisation by the State across councils noted; Noosa pursuing balanced visibility without inviting inappropriate growth pressures (06:19–07:11; 03:28–04:30) (Item 5.1).

Meeting Transcript
Tom Wegener 00:10.180
Welcome to the planning and environment committee meeting. Date is May 9th, 2020. It is May 9th, 2023. I declare the meeting open and would like to acknowledge that we are meeting on the traditional land, the Kabi Kabi people, and I pay my respects to their elders past, present, and emerging. Tonight, or today, we have committee members, Mayor Stewart, Councillor Finzel, and Councillor Stockwell in the room, along with Councillor Lorentson, and can I have a mover and a seconder for a confirmation of the minutes from the last Planning and Environment Committee meeting of April 2023. Councillor Stockwell moves it. Amelia Lorentson 00:53.428
I'm happy to second. Tom Wegener 00:54.548
Councillor Finzel seconds it. Our first report this morning. Well, no, we have no presentations, no deputations, so we'll go straight to the reports for consideration. And so first is the Shaping Southeast Queensland Review Project, and we have Rowena Skinner. Rowena, walk us through it. Rowena Skinner 01:24.135
Good morning, councillors. So this report basically provides a brief update on the current review that Shaping SEQ Regional Plan is going through. As councillors might know, as a result of the housing summit last year, the Palaszczuk government announced there would be a review of the SEQ Regional Plan in an attempt to both update it, but particularly with a focus on housing and associated infrastructure. having a workshop with you in the coming days more about that review. It's a very tight review, but one question that the State has asked specifically of local governments is to review and nominate any changes to the list of great places that are included in shaping SEQ, and the great places are specifically built environments, you know, typically town centres or busy roads that are vibrant, busy places that contribute to economies and and social and community outcomes. While, you know, we have no end of great places in Noosa Shire, the focus is particularly on built areas. Tom Wegener 02:57.291
And there's been two places that have been suggested. There are two at the moment. Rowena Skinner 03:01.471
So Hastings Street, Noosa Heads, and Opal Street, Cooroy have been included since 2017. And I'm proposing that we nominate five additional ones for inclusion in the next draft of the regional plan. Tom Wegener 03:19.348
Going into what the five might be, can I just ask quickly, is it an advantage for Noosa Council to have more places before the SEQ? Rowena Skinner 03:28.788
Because sometimes I feel as though the residents would like to just hide and say, nobody here, really can't answer that, and the discussions with the State officers seem to be that they're also not sure what the particular benefit of being nominated as a great place is. One could imagine that for some local governments particularly encouraging growth, there has an advantage of attracting populations to that place. But for some others at this stage, there's no particular policy benefit to it. the State is looking at whether they can create policy benefits from it in terms of place making opportunities, but there's nothing concrete. That is the particular benefit. Brian Stockwell 04:30.265
One of the things that I think is good of the places is the descriptions of the five new places actually are a distillation of where our strategic direction of that are for those places in our own planning scheme. If, for example, we were to receive a development application that was going away from those features and values, having a higher level of support if we were to be challenged in terms of saying, well, no, your development development inhibits or is a constraint on us maintaining those features and values of, let's say, Noosa Junction or Bridgham Beach or Pomona, which are acknowledged in the SEQ regional plan. So there's a higher level of planning acknowledgments of those. level of planning acknowledgments of those key features of the place. I think that's probably one of the important opportunities. I think it's also good to ensure that the level of acknowledgment across the regional plan. plan is similar in that it should, in the future, the State, for example, have Olympic funding for great places. It would be good to ensure that our council area has a similar level identification of its key centres and areas as the others around us. Tom Wegener 05:56.137
So, in a way, are you saying that this is sort of a vindication that Noosa done it right? mean, we have these great places, look at them. Wow, let's not change them. Brian Stockwell 06:04.408
Yeah, and to acknowledge at that higher regional plan level that these are the key attributes of these places that we want to continue into the future. We don't want them threatened by inappropriate Rowena Skinner 06:19.820
I think when they came up with the list in around 2016-2017 it was sort of a last minute thing with the regional plan and every local government took a very different approach. So some local governments in southeast Queensland have nominated just one. Some as I've highlighted have 17. So there is no consistency around the region and perhaps the State might look at you know they bring in the State architect or someone else to sort of have a look at all the places nominated by all local governments and perhaps do a rationalization and judgment. judgment. Brian Stockwell 07:11.482
So I have one. The motion as it was worded talks about authorising the chief executive as detailed within the report. There was one little glitch in one of the sentences. Do we need to identify that as a change or do we just take that as an administrative change? Rowena Skinner 07:31.845
We're more than We're more than happy to correct grammar. Brian Stockwell 07:36.209
I'm happy to move as per the recommendation just acknowledging there is a little grammatical change needed in Yipi Keras. Scott Waters 07:47.949
Did you want to send a motion for that? Tom Wegener 07:54.852
Also there is one thing that you that may be missing that is in the Cooroy Hinterland Playground should be a part of the Cooroy surrounding area but if residents enjoyed the town atmosphere, it doesn't mention the adventure playground. That's on page six and I'm sure that that's just administrative. Interesting though, Cooroy is already on there and in fact it may be that they'll look at that addition to the existing description of the site. Okay, no questions. Amelia, yes. Amelia Lorentson 08:39.283
Hi, Rowena. Just in terms of public consultation, the report indicates that the community will be given an opportunity to make a submission or provide some feedback. Can you talk us through that, please? Rowena Skinner 08:54.818
In coming days, I'll be having an actual workshop with you on the SEQ regional plan review and talk a little bit about plan review and talk a little bit about their process and timeline. But the State is scheduled to have a draft plan out in mid-June, I believe, and that will come out for a 30 business day public consultation period. So anybody will be able to make feedback on the whole SEQ regional plan during that stage, including council, including property owners, et cetera. So that's their schedule at this stage because they want to have a finalised plan by the end of this calendar. Tom Wegener 09:42.820
It's unanimous. Thank you very much for being here. Next we have the set copies of the Regional Climate Resilience Alliance. And we have Sally Benson. Karen Finzel 10:02.836
Good morning councillors. Tom Wegener 10:04.576
Please take your time because this is like this is pretty much it for today. I was brief to be brief. Well excitingly a climate alliance is proposed to be established in southeast Queensland and the goal And the goal of that is to formalise a partnership between SEQ local governments to work collaboratively together on climate change. What this will provide is regional solutions to climate risks, regional approaches to projects and building resilience and large-scale efforts to reduce emissions that will deliver economies of scale, cost savings and regional benefits as well as local ones. So a climate alliance is an established structure of local government partnership and it's originated in Victoria where there's really successful high-profile large-scale projects that have delivered have delivered hundreds of thousands of tons of emissions reduction and millions of dollars of savings for local governments and their communities. So there was in April 2021 there was we joined five We joined five other SEQ councils in a Climate Resilient Councils pilot project to assess the best model of regional partnership for SEQ and so what happened was we looked to Victoria. to Victoria and the huge achievements those alliances have done and now two years later we've come up with a refined model for the Queensland Climate Resilience Alliance to be called SEQCRA. then acronym stands for Southeast Queensland Climate Resilience Alliance. So we've got just a bit about the current landscape of climate commitments across SEQ. Of course we share the State government context of 30% emissions reduction by 2030, 50% renewable energy by 2030 and net zero by 2050. Karen Finzel 12:06.552
Also local governments have 2050. Also local governments have our own targets of course. We've got Net Zero by 2026 and there's several quite variable commitments across the region so what we see is there's no collaborative, there's no coordinated approach to these shared goals and that's the space that the Alliance seeks to live and exist and work in. To help us learn from each other and work together on projects that are going to really make a difference. So the structure of the proposed South East Queensland Climate Resilience Alliance is membership based. So there's a tiered membership structure. structure banded according to population. This makes Noosa a $10,000 per annum membership. The partnership is formalised simply by MOU, which requests a three-year commitment. So the recommendation, well, what that membership fees provides is the annual budget for the alliance to fund a coordinator, a shared staff resource for the region to apply for larger pools of grants and funding for big-scale projects, to coordinate... It's a pretty simple governance structure, so the recommendation from our team to Council is that Noosa join the South East Queensland Climate Alliance this year for a $10,000 and sign the MOU with a commitment for three years. That the simple governance structure is two-tiered: Executive Steering Committee and then Coordinators Committee and we recommend that the Manager of Environment sit on the Executive Steering Committee and the Carbon Reduction Officer sit on the Coordination Committee to really work on projects that are required. Tom Wegener 14:07.200
I understand that Noosa is actually quite proactive in the setting up of CCRAT. Karen Finzel 14:14.520
Yes we have. Since the Climate Resilient Council's pilot project, which was April 2020, we've been in a working group with, that was a five council participation project, but since then we've been working with nine councils in that sustainability staff level to work together to get it to this point. And this approval process is happening across the region now. Lockyer Valley was the first to Brian Stockwell 14:47.980
Move it. I'm happy to move it. Amelia Lorentson 14:49.220
I'm happy to second. Brian Stockwell 14:50.480
I'm happy to speak to this. Following on from that, it's great to see that this initiative looks like it's getting ahead of steam. sort of alliances in Victoria have led to millions of dollars of savings for local government and if we look at the challenge we've got for the next three years is to get to net zero organizationally. One of the biggest parts of our electricity bill is street lights and because Energex has got a monopoly it's a price setter and it's the controller but if we have a large group of councils all suggesting we want to go down councils all suggesting we want to go down the change from mercury halide, or whatever they are, and LEDs, which is probably a 40% saving in one hit. It's likely to be more effective advocacy. Similarly with trying to get a better deal out of the network providers. The Renewal Purchasing Agreement down in Victoria had Melbourne Council working not only in its first and second attempts with other level governments, also with large business. And not only did they buy 100% renewable energy, but they actually gave the provider of that enough certainty to actually create additionality. the renewable energy market, so it actually drove a new wind power farm. So community education campaigns, obviously if we're all going out, we've all got the same issue about how we help our community work towards reducing their energy costs and reducing their carbon footprint. But doing that with sharing the cost is obviously getting more effective. While buying of community batteries, we've already got our first application for a community battery, there's things that are going to be very big going forward. So it's likely that with economies of scale, those very expensive, at the moment around 500 grand for a battery, will come down in price. So, and lastly, we, you know, We were successful in getting a motion up at LGAQ about environmental upgrade agreements, and he's been promoting for some years. This alliance is likely to have more impact on the State government and moving not just through their current commitment to business, but also into the residential. because of the number of councils involved and the number of voters they represent, so it's a great initiative and it's also going to be really timely in that we have, you know, as I said, a large task going to 2026. It's going to be made easier if goes on. Thank you. Tom Wegener 17:43.680
Councillor Lorentson. Amelia Lorentson 17:45.060
Just a question Sally. So this is a three-year commitment that we're agreeing to. Will there be a requirement for reporting back to... to council? Just an update on how we're going and what are the actual benefits in terms of cost savings, etc. Will that be reported back to council periodically during that three-year term? Karen Finzel 18:08.542
Absolutely. Through the governance structure, they meet quarterly, there'll be a strategic plan made and annual reports made and communicated back to all members. I'd love to say that the goal of the alliance is certainly to provide value to members. well as build resilience and address climate risk, it's really to report definitely back those savings, whether it's emissions reduction or costs, back to council. Tom Wegener 18:35.871
I love the de-siloing that's going on around us because we're faced with this, with the climate emergency, we're faced with the Olympics coming, which are supposed to be carbon positive, we're faced with an incredible task that we've set for ourselves. I'm just very excited about this. And to begin with, it's a matter of communication amongst councils to get the big ideas across and to fund the big ideas. And lots of actual low-hanging fruit here, for example, community education campaign as something to work collectively along. Karen Finzel 19:08.346
I'd like to just say this is a fabulous opportunity. I think it's really great for those to take, you know, the front step on this one. The idea around working together with a coordinated approach because we're all about collaboration given our corporate plan. That was one of the things we talked about is de-solving and working together. It's great to see that we can take that beyond the organisation. I like the idea that I like the idea that it's helping reach targets, taking a regional approach, working together, and the cost savings. What I'm particularly passionate about is the sustainable procurement and the opportunity to actually build social enterprise and build the impact for resilience in our communities through procurement. Procurement is key, and moving forward, I think we've got a great opportunity to bring cost savings, education, and reaching targets, which education and reaching targets which, you know, I think most of our community will be really on board about. People are aware how important the targets for climate change are. I love the fact that the staff has worked hard to position us in this place. To be able to move forward and really make an impact and reach targets. Tom Wegener 20:16.399
Thank you. I think that all of us feel very heartfelt congratulations for bringing this up. And thank you very much for your hard work on this. And it's a real big step forward. Karen Finzel 20:28.000
Thank you. It's much appreciated. Thank you. Tom Wegener 20:38.440
Thank you so much. So the next time we come back it's how many millions? Our next is 5.3 Scott Waters 21:16.296
Is on leave. We do have staff members that can present this particular matter to committee. However, one of the staff members does hold a conflict that can be managed on this particular matter. We wanted to bring that. to bring that to your attention before your consideration. We can put it to you today for some open and some general discussion for you, but we would much prefer that to ensure that the staff member did not have an ongoing conflict. staff member did not have an ongoing conflict, that we were able to either defer full decision or I could present that report for you, but please know technicalities may not be a strong point of this particular matter. Brian Stockwell 21:57.458
As much as I've enjoyed grilling the CEO, I think it's best in those circumstances to refer it to the General Committee for further consideration. you have a second? Hattie 22:08.992
I'll second that. Tom Wegener 22:11.092
Thank you, Councillor. All in favour? We see unanimous. It's referred to the General. Thank you, Councillor. Do we, we're not, we're not using our, the next is, we're not using our voting on the computer. Next we have planning applications. Next we have planning applications decided by delegated authority. Amelia Lorentson 22:39.254
Thank you. Tom Wegener 22:40.774
Thanks. Maybe somebody can sit down for a minute? Hattie 22:43.594
Yes, and I've got Mark here as backup. Tom Wegener 22:47.434
Welcome. Mark and Hattie, welcome. If there's anything we need to talk about or just introduce us to this, but this is a regular, very standard feature here. Hattie 22:58.054
Yes. Oh, yes. Are these the delegated ones? Delegated? Scott Waters 23:02.404
Yeah, we've been able to defer the other matter. Yes, cool. Hattie 23:06.564
I'm sorry. So we've got the list of delegations, applications that have been approved by delegated authority. Tom Wegener 23:14.824
First, I'm so sorry to interrupt. Is there any conflicts of interest? conflicts of interest? We've got no conflicts of interest. Do you go through these normally? No, you don't just do what's in the recovery report. Okay, that's... Overview and anything by... Exception or any questions from councillors. Okay. Okay, so this is just a list of the... This report details the applications that have been considered by officers under delegation of authority. They... Most of They, most of these have been considered, sorry, have been, you know, considered by Council, by staff, due to the strict timeframes of the Planning Act, most of them relate to houses and operational works, and I'm not quite sure what else you want to do during the month of March, excluding applications to seek removal of a tree adjacent to a building or structure. Do you... No, we don't want to do that. go through them? Sorry, yeah. Are there any questions, really? Thank you. Amelia? Hattie 24:19.046
Sorry, I botched that. Tom Wegener 24:21.846
Anything else? Hattie 24:26.186
I hope you guys do try to find a hard question to ask. time. Oh, sorry. Brian Stockwell 24:32.393
I'm happy to vote. Tom Wegener 24:34.053
Councillor Finzel, moved by Councillor Finzel. I'll second it. So we put it to a vote. Favour it's unanimous. Thank you very much. Okay, sorry. No, you're welcome. And last we have confidential note for public release, Kabi Kabi Title, Kabi Kabi Native Title Consent Determination. And this is a confidential piece. Scott Waters 25:06.060
It is. It is, Councillor. So we would then close the meeting down to confidential. But I do understand there was a request don't understand, there was a request to refer to general committee at this particular moment, so depending if there is a referral motion, that can be done at the moment. Tom Wegener 25:23.059
I'll do a motion to refer this to general committee. And the reason is, this is such an important piece that I believe we I believe we all agree that all of the councillors did have the opportunity to vote on this and discuss this at the general meeting. So, should we put it to vote? And that brings us to a close at 9:57am. Related Noosa Council Meetings
