It was mentioned earlier, but I'd like to mention the Council CAP. CAPS and the FlexiLink service, in case anyone's unaware of it. It's been in the program for quite some time, and it is a way of ensuring $30 payable, rateable. By all rateable property owners. It does fund the service for those in the hinterland who are unable to access easily the other public transport services. So it's taxi transport costing $2.01 for the hinterland residents aged over 60, who are living in more important homes. A big part of this year's. To be the transport program. For the over 60s, Council cabs will collect you from your home in the morning, from 8:30am. Depending on passenger numbers, and drive you to your local shopping centre. If you book a return trip, you'll be collected around 11:30am. You'll be picked up at the same location. You'll be dropped off and returned to your home. Cooroy Mountain Federal, and Lake Macdonald residents are driven to Emerald Street, Cooroy on wednesdays, and Pomona, Cooran and Kin Kin residents are transported to Memorial Avenue, Pomona on thursdays, booking is essential. Boreen Point residents are driven to Tewantin every day between Monday and Saturday. There are three connecting services there. The intention of that is to ensure that no one is left behind in the Go Noosa Program. And referencing something that councillor finsdale Finzel referred to about assisting young people. When we talk about discussing the scope of the Go Noosa Program as part of next year's budget, we can also discuss about perhaps extending the Council care service. Or a civil service for young people. That would be an entirely appropriate topic for discussion then. And also, everything comes at a cost. We also understand whether there's appetite for raising the transport levy to put on more staff, or more consultancy, whatever is required, or finding alternative revenue sources to do this work. Any other Councillors wish to speak to the original motion? The goes in favour. That's unanimous, it's carried. Now come to the Financial Performance Report, July 2025, 11.3.16, budget review, BR1 for the 2025-26 financial year, 11.3.17, operational plan, 24.25, quarter four, quarterly reporting, item 11.3.18 is confidence. Confidential, not for public release. Planning in the moment, court appeal, number 3746 of 2023, application for short-term accommodation, 15 eco cabins at 94 and 142 Noosa Drive, Noosa Heads, this is the appeal of the RACV Resort. Stockwell.
