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). Conflicts of Interest Scott Waters disclosed a staff conflict on RAL22/0028; Committee referred the matter to General Committee to avoid any perception of bias (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). New Development Applications RAL22/0028 (1→2 lots) at 1 Poinciana Ave, Tewantin, was not determined; referred to General Committee due to staff conflict and to ensure full consideration (21:16–22:08) (Item 5.3).

Meeting Transcript
Brian Stockwell 00:00.420
What is it? The taxi it's coming into the desk welcome Tom Wegener 00:12.024
To the Planning & Environment Committee Meeting. Date is May 2020. It is 9th, 2023. I declare the meeting open and would like to acknowledge that we are meeting on the traditional lands of 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 stoppel Stockwell in the room along with Councillor Lorentson. Can I have a mover and a seconder for a confirmation of the Minutes from the last Planning & Environment Committee Meeting of April 2023? Councillor Stockwell moves it. Amelia Lorentson 00:53.603
I'm happy to second. Tom Wegener 00:54.464
Councillor Finzel seconds it. Put it to a vote. All in favour? Unanimous? Our first report this morning is well no we have no presentations no deputations so we'll go straight to the report for consideration and so first is ShapingSEQ Review Project and we have Rowena Skinner. Rowena, walk us through it. Rowena Skinner 01:27.476
Good morning Councillors so this report basically um provides a brief update on the current review that ShapingSEQ Regional Plan is going through as Councillors a result of the housing summit last year the Palaszczuk Government announced there would be a review of the SEQ Regional Plan in it in an attempt to both update it but particularly with a focus on housing and associated infrastructure so I will be having a you in the common 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 ShapingSEQ and the Great Places are specifically built environments there you know roads typically town that centres or that are vibrant busy places that contribute to economies and architecture and social and community outcomes while you know we have no end of Great Places and Noosa Shire the focus on built areas instead there's been two there are two at the moment so Hastings Street Noosa Heads and Maple Street Cooroy have been included since 2017 I'm proposing that we nominate five additional ones for inclusion in the next draft of the regional plan Tom Wegener 03:19.156
Before going into those five might be. Can I just ask quickly, is it an advantage for Noosa Council to have more places before the SEQ because sometimes I feel as though the residents would like to just hide and say nobody here don't look at us. Rowena Skinner 03:37.649
I 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 that are particularly encouraging growth, there has an advantage of attracting populations to that place. But for others at this stage, there's no particular policy the State has no particular benefit to it. 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 a particular benefit. Brian Stockwell 04:30.630
So 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 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 of in terms of saying well no, your development inhibits or is a constraint on us maintaining those features and values of let's say Noosa Junction or Peregian Beach or Pomona which are acknowledged in the SEQ Regional Plan. So there's a higher level of planning acknowledgement 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 acknowledgement across the regional 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 of identification of its key centres and areas as the others around us. Tom Wegener 05:56.537
So, in a way, are you saying that this is sort of a vindication that noosa's done it right? I mean, we have these Great Places, look at them. Wow, let's not change them. Brian Stockwell 06:04.843
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 don't want them threatened by inappropriate development. Rowena Skinner 06:20.714
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 South East Queensland have nominated just one or two, some, as I've highlighted, have 17, so there is no consistency around the region, and perhaps the State might look at, you know, whether they're bringing 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 rationalisation. And judgment on those collectively Brian Stockwell 07:07.825
So I won the motion as it is 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 07:31.697
We're more than happy to correct grammar. Brian Stockwell 07:35.977
I'm happy to move as per the recommendation just acknowledging there is a little grammatical change in yipi needs to be taken care of. Scott Waters 07:48.537
Did you want to send a motion for that? Tom Wegener 07:56.010
There is one thing that you that may be missing that is in the Cooroy Hinterland playground should be is a part of the Cooroy surrounding area but you residents enjoy a lot mud, salt, and koi, of ourselves in Cooroy and the town atmosphere. A little bit wrong, but it doesn't mention it. The adventure playground, that's on page six and I'm sure that just an administrative point. Brian Stockwell 08:21.009
The thing about Cooroy interesting though, Cooroy is already on there, but it may be that they'll look at that addition to the existing description of the soul. Site. Yeah, yeah. Place. Tom Wegener 08:36.172
Okay, no question. Amelia, yes. Amelia Lorentson 08:39.844
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 08:54.629
So, in coming days, I'll be having an actual workshop with you on the SEQ Regional Plan review and talk a little bit about their process and timeline, but state is scheduled to have a draft plan out in mid-June, I believe, and that will come out for a 30 business days 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 year. Tom Wegener 09:48.033
Thanks, Rowena. Romain. Thank you. Next we have the SEQ Climate Resilience Alliance, and we have Sally Jensen to come and talk, walk us through this. Good morning, Councillors. Please take your time because this is, like, this is pretty much it for today, so. I was brave briefed to be brief, but. Sally Jensen 10:14.575
Well, excitingly, a climate alliance is to proposed to be established in South East Queensland. 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 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 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 and the huge achievements those alliances have done now two years later we've come up with a refined model for the Queensland climate resilience alliance to be called SEQCRA the acronym stands for South East Queensland Climate Resilience Alliance so we've got 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 2050 it's 2030 and net zero by 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 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. The so the recommendation well what that membership fees provides is the annual budget for the alliance to be 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 manage projects and to coordinate the network of the alliance. It's a pretty simple governance structure so the recommendation from our team Council is that Noosa join the South East Queensland climate alliance this year for a fee of $10,000 and sign the MOU with a 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 require technical expertise Tom Wegener 14:03.651
I understand that Noosa is actually quite proactive in the setting up of SEQCRA. Sally Jensen 14:15.160
Yes we have since the climate resilient council's pilot project which was April 2021 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 say yes they'll be a member. Brian Stockwell 14:48.524
I'm happy to move it. Amelia Lorentson 14:49.672
Following Brian Stockwell 14:54.267
On from that, it's great to see that this initiative looks like it's getting ahead of steam. As you just alluded to, I understand Sally and no doubt Annie have Nadia Denny been that. In driving this alliance, and what was said previously is really important, that these 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 organisationally. 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 the change from mercury halide or whatever they are and LEDs, which is probably a 40 so that's of the things that we're trying to do, is we're saving in one hit. It's likely to be more effective advocacy, and similarly with trying to get a better deal out of the network providers. The renewal power purchasing agreement down in Victoria had Melbourne Council working not only in its and second attempts with other local governments, also with large businesses, and not only did they buy 100% renewable energy, but they actually gave the provider of that enough certainty to actually create additionality in the renewable energy markets. 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 going to be more effective, while buying community batteries, you know, we've already got our first application for a community battery. They're things that are going to be very big going forward. So it's likely that with economies of scale. You know, those very expensive, you know, at the moment, around 500 grand for a battery will come down in price. So, and lastly, we were successful in getting a motion up at. LGA field 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 market because of the number 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 this alliance is effective. Tom Wegener 17:41.721
Thank you. Councillor Lorentson. Amelia Lorentson 17:45.712
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 Council, just an update on how we're going and what are the actual benefits in terms of cost savings, et cetera? Will that be reported back to Council periodically during the three-year term? Sally Jensen 18:08.864
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 as 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 18:36.428
I'm just very excited about this. 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. 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. Amongst other councils with. I want you to look forward to it. Any other questions? Karen Finzel 19:08.599
I'd yeah, I'd like to say this is a fabulous opportunity. I think it's really great for Noosa to take the front step on this one. The idea around working together with a coordinated approach. Because bad. About all collaboration, giving our Corporate Plan. That was one of the things we talked about is desiling and working together. It's great to see that we can take that beyond the organisation. I like the idea that it's helping reach targets, taking a regional approach, working together, and the cost savings. One about. What I'm particularly passionate about is the sustainable procurement and the opportunity to actually build a social enterprise and build the impact for resilience in our communities through procurement. Is key and moving forward I think we've got a great opportunity to bring cost savings, 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 an impact. Make and reach targets. Thank you. Tom Wegener 20:18.121
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. Sally Jensen 20:28.484
Thank you. It's much appreciated. Thank you. Tom Wegener 20:31.694
Can we put it to a vote? All in favour? It's unanimous. Sally Jensen 20:39.028
Thank you so much it was great. So thanks so much. Brian Stockwell 20:45.366
The next time we come back it's how many millions? Tom Wegener 20:50.488
Hold on. We're both the same. Here. Our next is it is 5.3 application for reconfiguring of a lot one or two lots one point it's going to come to Tewantin and the CEO would like to have a Scott Waters 21:07.367
Few words about this one. Chair, thank you. Councillors, our Director for the department is unwell today and the manager 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 your attention your consent. 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 that we were able to defer for 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 21:58.073
As much as I've enjoyed grilling the studio, I think it's best in those circumstances refer it to the General Committee for further consideration. Tom Wegener 22:09.605
I'll second that was the last act of that. Thank you, Councillor. All in favour? If you see unanimous, it's referred to the general. Thank you. Amelia Lorentson 22:28.252
We, we're not, using our, um, the next is, we're not using our, voting on the computer, just to solve it against it to her Tom Wegener 22:30.831
So. Next we have, um, planning applications decided by delegated authority. Thank you. Maybe you need someone to sit down for that? Nadine Gordon 22:43.877
Yes, and I've got mark here as backup. Tom Wegener 22:46.519
Mark and Nadine, 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. Nadine Gordon 22:57.969
Yes, these are the delegated ones? Delegated. Yeah, we've been able to defer the other matter. Yes, cool. I'm sorry. So we've got the list of delegations, applications that have been approved by delegated authority. Tom Wegener 23:14.648
First, I'm so sorry to interrupt. Is there any conflicts of interest? Do Nadine Gordon 23:24.292
Through norms? 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. Scott Waters 23:34.971
Okay. Nadine Gordon 23:35.992
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 these have been considered, sorry, have been, you know, considered by Council, by staff, due to the strict time frames 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 go through them. You don't go through them? Sorry, yeah. Are there any questions really? Thank you. Tom Wegener 24:17.170
Amelia? Sorry, I botched that. No, you were just kind of throwing in the detail there. Anything else? I'm talking to a guy who's trying to find a hard question to ask. Oh, sorry. He's struggling with finding a hard to find the part of the question. I'm happy to vote. Do it. Moved by councilor Councillor Finzel? I'll second it. So we put it to a vote. Favour it's unanimous. Thank you very much, mark. OK, Okay, sorry. No, you're welcome. Man. Thanks, mark. And left. 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 25:06.204
It is. Councillor. So we would then close the meeting down to confidential. But I do understand there was a request to refer General Committee in this particular moment. So depending and if there is a referral motion, that can be done in open. Tom Wegener 25:23.403
I'll do a motion to refer this to general- The cancer minister. Councillor maisture. And the reason is, this is such an important that I believe we all agree that all of the Councillors did have the opportunity to vote on this and discuss this at the General Committee. So, should we put it to a vote? All in favour? To move it to general? And that brings us to a close at 9:57am. Very quick. That was very quick. Thank you very much. Related Noosa Council Meetings
