Amelia Lorentson0:00

To the Planning & Environment Committee Meeting. Today's the 11th of March and we're commencing at 9:30am. I'd like to begin by an Acknowledgement to Country. Noosa Council proudly acknowledges and respects Australia's First Nations people and their deep and abiding connection to this country. We pay respect to Kabi Kabi Elders who have come before us and we pay respect to current leaders and emerging and their enduring commitment in pursuing a strong and healthy future for First Nations people. Welcome Mayor Wilkie, Councillor Stockwell, CEO Larry and Kim Anita and Rowena um also like to note that we have some Council observers online. Welcome Karen Finzel and welcome Tom I love this camera. Can I please request before the meeting commences that everyone have their phones switched off or on silent and I'd also like to remind Councillors of their obligations under the Council code of conduct to treat fellow Councillors and Council employees respectfully. I'll now go to Tom's a member of the committee. Oh, excuse me. Apologies. I'd like to note that Councillor Tom Wegener is not an observer. He's a member on the committee and I'd like to just note that he's attending online. That's it. Yes, I can capture that. Fine. Thank you. So first now I'll go to confirmation of minutes. Can I have a mover and a seconder? Thank you. Brian. Thank you, Frank. All in favour? Carried unanimously. Now go to, there's no presentations, no deputations, and we'll go to item seven Reports for consideration of the Committee. We need to hear from Tom as well. Oh, hello, Tom. Sorry. You've got to be loud. Thank you, Tom. You're in favour? No objections? Aye. All aye. Thank right. Thank you, Tom. We'll move to item seven Reports for consideration of the Committee. Item one, which is the local government infrastructure plan five-year review. And again, welcome, Kim Rawlings, Anita. And Rowena. And can I ask if we can just start with one of you giving us a summary or overview of the report that's in front of us.

I might just note that this report has been done by Glenn, but he's away on leave. I'll so present it for him. The purpose of this report is to seek Council's approval of starting the process to amend the local government infrastructure plan, which is the LGIP. It forms part Noosa Plan 2020. We're required to undertake a review every five years of the LGIP. We've undertaken that review and we've noted that it does need an amendment to support the planning assumptions that Council endorsed last year. As well well as we want to undertake a review of our desired standards of service to make sure they're more climate resilient and include climate change factors. We will undertake the amendment and we will bring that back to Council including we will have an external reviewer look at that and we'll bring that back following the preparation. Actual amendment. It will then go to the State for a state interest review and then it will go to public notification. Review so this report doesn't actually contain the amendments, it's just requesting Council endorse us moving forward in undertaking the amendment process.
