Frank Wilkie0:00We're going to stop right here. Well, good morning everyone and welcome to the Special Meeting for the adoption of the 2025/26 Noosa Shire Council budget. We declare the meeting open at 11am. We have all Councillors in attendance. I'd like to begin by respectfully acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land of which we're gathered, which is the Kabi Kabi people, pay my respects to elders past, present and emerging, and also reiterate their invitation and acknowledgement that we're all joint custodians of this beautiful place that we all love. Of respecting and caring for each other. The purpose of the Special Meeting is to adopt Noosa Council's 25/26 budget and associated documents and to propose to make parking amendments subordinate local law number 1 2025 which prescribes new and increased minor traffic offence infringement notice penalties. The first report is the adoption of the 2025-26 budget policies and we have our adoption have our financial services manager Pauline Coles in attendance along with Acting Director of services Margaret Gatt. Pauline could you give us a summary of this report please. Of services Margaret Gatt.
