My recommendation investigation of precinct management frameworks for Noosa Junction that Council request the CEO to prepare a report to a future Council meeting outlining options for managing land use conflicts. Between entertainment venues and residents this exploratory report should investigate best practices in precinct management to assess their relevance and suitability for Noosa Junction.

Okay the motion in front of us aims to explore potential frameworks for managing Noosa Junction as a entertainment precinct while addressing conflicts between live music venues and nearby residential areas. The report will provide insights into available frameworks, assess their advantages and drawbacks and evaluate their applicability to Noosa. This is an exploratory process and the motion recognises that any cost and resource implications will need to be considered in future budget deliberations I and I've just outlined areas of focus for the report. One, a review of best practices. So the report will identify and evaluate successful precinct management models, particularly Special Entertainment Precincts like maple, which regulate amplified music and manage operations. In areas where entertainment venues and residents coexist. The review of best practices will also explore how these frameworks could unique needs of Noosa Junction. Balancing business growth with residential amenity. Pre-set management goals. Number two: one of the areas of focus is to develop a framework that prioritises noise control, safety and security, creating a family-friendly environment in Noosa Junction. The precinct management goals aim to establish clear guidelines that allow venues to thrive while mitigating noise and other disturbances in nearby residential areas. The report also will seek to list and engage with industry experts from the music and entertainment sector. It would include but not limited to consultants, local stakeholders to ensure the most effective strategy strategies are considered. It's also envisaged that there will be some type of round table, stakeholder and community engagement, consideration of a stakeholder round table with key figures from local businesses, the music industry and experts like the granite belt Noosa Council, cue music and representatives from Nambour's Special Entertainment Precinct. It's also envisaged. That there'd be broader community engagement to gather feedback from residents, those that live adjoining Noosa Junction, to ensure that their concerns are integrated into the planning process. The goal, again, is to create a vibrant and well-managed precinct. Again, simply, the motion seeks to investigate precinct management frameworks that prioritise. Noise control, safety and security, supporting local businesses and the live music sector, while addressing land use conflicts with residents. The goal is to explore best practices and engage with industry experts. Community stakeholders to ensure that the framework benefits all parties. The ultimate aim is to establish a safe, family-friendly entertainment precinct in Noosa Junction where residents, families and youth can enjoy vibrant nightlife. While ensuring that impacts like Noosa are properly managed. I'll just give you just a brief background. Noosa Junction is identified as a key entertainment hub in noosa's town plan 2020. This brings both opportunities and challenges in balancing nightlife with residential areas. Learning from successful examples like nambour's Special Entertainment Precinct, Noosa can begin a community-led conversation about the best ways to. Support the live music industry while maintaining the quality of life for residents. By developing clear operational guidelines, including noise mitigation measures and responsible venue management, Council can ensure that Noosa Junction thrives as a dynamic and secure and safe environment. For businesses, families and visitors. I've mentioned Nambour Special Entertainment Precinct as a relevant. Precedent for this exploratory report. The Nambour Special Entertainment Precinct offers a strong precedent for managing live music and entertainment in a way that protects residents from excessive noise while giving venues operational. Certainty. This family-friendly approach can provide valuable lessons for creating a similar precinct in Noosa Junction. The motion in front of us represents, in my opinion, the first step in assessing whether existing frameworks like Nambour Special Entertainment Precinct can fact be applied to Noosa, or if a tailored solution is needed. Doing nothing risks stifling local businesses and limiting entertainment options for youth and our families. By investigating best practices in precinct management, Council can develop a balanced approach that life, music and entertainment, while ensuring that noise and safety regulations are upheld. Again, creating a vibrant and harmonious environment for all.
