NOOSA JUNCTION PRECINCT MANAGEMENT MODELS ASSESSMENT (Referred from Planning and Environment Committee dated 8 July 2025 Item 7.1)

Brian Stockwell0:00

Normally to our Acknowledgement of Country we acknowledge elders past, present and emerging and last week's theme was about the emerging leaders within our indigenous community and it was about next generation strength, vision and legacy and it celebrated the achievements of the past with a bright future ahead empowered by strengths of young leaders, division in our communities and the legacy of our ancestors and I thought it would be interesting because over the last week we've had Floating Land and one of the artists was Tisha Davis, a passionate Kabi Kabi traditional owner, dancer, artist and storyteller who lends her works rich cultural heritage with contemporary approaches to art and that was the installations down by the river there. That reflected the traditional middens that occurred in that location and then over the school holidays we've had Zeke Davis, a member of the Gabi dance troupe who ran a dream time creative fun and storytelling workshop as part of the Council's school holiday program and ongoing we have worked with the young Kabi Kabi land and sea rangers that program gets the young Kabi Kabi people back on country in Noosa and it helps us with our ecosystem restoration and no doubt they are controlled and prescribed burning activities and I think today's acknowledgement could end in the same way that NAIDOC did and it says together we walk forward honouring where we've come from and looking boldly to the future. So, welcome. Confirmation of myths. Attendance and apologies, we have GetTranscribed.com yes, Phillips are attending online. I move on to confirmation. Of minutes and do I have a mover for the General Committee Meeting minutes dated 16th June 2025. Councillor Lorentson and the seconder, Councillor Wilson. I'm presuming there's no conversation about that. So, all in favour? Yes. That's carried unanimously. We have no presentations, no deputations so we move on to items referred from committees and we had one from the Planning & Environment Committee on the Noosa Junction Precinct Management Models Assessment and we have tara and Anita here and one give us an executive summary.
