8. PUBLIC QUESTION TIME

8.1 DEAIRE PECORA
QUESTION 1
How exactly does the parking at Cooroy primary School meet the minimum requirements for Disability access according to Main Roads?
RESPONSE FROM SHAUN WALSH DIRECTOR INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES
The Cooroy Primary State School carpark is situated on state-controlled road reserve and services the adjacent state school. In accordance with the Cost Sharing Agreement between Queensland Government Transport and Main Roads and local governments, the construction and maintenance of parking areas outside of the road shoulder is normally a local government responsibility. Noosa Council confirms that it has responsibility to manage the school’s dropoff/pick-up carpark on Elm Street in these circumstances. Currently the carparking area on Elm Street contain 47 carparking spaces including one (1) existing disability carparking space.
Our investigation has confirmed that the current supply of parking spaces accessible to people with disabilities meets the current national standards for a school, noting that:
 Cooroy State School is a Class 9B(i) assessable building under the National Construction Code (NCC).
 Table D3.5 of the NCC requires one car parking space for people with disabilities, for every 100 carparking spaces or part thereof.
While the current provision of a single parking space for people with disabilities meets the national requirements, consultation by Council staff has with the school has confirmed that it desires an additional disabled car parking space to meet its needs. Accordingly, Council has initiated the process for the design and construction of an additional parking space for people with disabilities, as well as upgrading the existing space to provide an adjacent ‘shared zone’ for loading and unloading vehicles as required under current standards.

QUESTION 2
Why has council allowed the parking at Primary School to not be reviewed in 31 years. How does this meet Disability equality rights?
RESPONSE FROM SHAUN WALSH DIRECTOR INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES
The provision of one disabled carparking space meets the accepted supply ratio. The car parking area is subject to scheduled asset inspections and remains in good condition. A more detailed assessment would be scheduled as part of any proposal to renew the asset if it was in poor condition. Following receipt of the request for an additional disability carparking space from a parent and the Cooroy State School, Council staff have undertaken a site-specific assessment for this location and have commenced design and construction process to deliver an additional disabled carparking space consistent with feedback.

QUESTION 1
Can the council explain the process and benefits of the workshop procedures involving relevant council staff and councillors when considering proposed new projects, initiatives and policy under development?
RESPONSE FROM LARRY SENGSTOCK, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
Councillor Workshops and Briefings are an effective way of assisting Councillors to understand and explore often complex issues and projects. Whilst they are not a decisionmaking forum, workshops and briefings are useful for a range of reasons including:
 enabling Councillors to be briefed on complex matters;
 providing training for Councillors on roles and responsibilities, new legislation etc;  allowing Councillors to share information about matters they are currently dealing with;  providing a forum to explore ideas and discuss concepts in the lead up to developing new strategies and policies;  being briefed by staff on current operational matters.
Staff may seek feedback from Councillors and/or provide information to Councillors. Officers provide Councillors with advice as well as any relevant background material and follow up information e.g. presentations or other information discussed at a workshop. Council has an approved Briefing Session and Workshop Policy which is available on Council’s website
- Councillor Briefing Sessions and Workshops (Non Statutory Meetings) Policy(PDF, 164KB)

QUESTION 2
Can Noosa Council outline the works that were to have proceeded in the 2024-25 financial year described by Mayor Frank Wilkie in respect of the Pomona Place Plan in a statement published first on the council website on 24 March 2025 thus: “We’ve included funds in the current budget to fill missing pedestrian links between the high school campus and the village.’’ And did those scheduled works include shared pedestrian/bicycle path links between Pavillion Street and Summit Road via Meridan Court in 2024-25 and along Summit Road to the Pomona Campus of the Noosa District State High School in 2025-26?
RESPONSE FROM RESPONSE FROM SHAUN WALSH DIRECTOR INFRASTRUCTURE
SERVICES
Thank you for the question. The works that we included in the 24/25 budget for is a 2.5metre wide shared pathway along Summit Road from the main entry of the Pomona Secondary College through to Page Court and these works are scheduled for construction in 2025/26 financial year. This route provides a safer defined route from the secondary college to the Pomona town centre along the new footpath, through the low-speed environment of Page Court and Meridan Court and along the existing footpaths on Pavillion Street, Cooroora Creek Park and the centre of town. This initial work is a first step towards improved footpaths in town desired by the community from the Pomona Place Making Project. In this regard Council has recently been successful in obtaining a grant from the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads for a Walking Network Plan to better define future desired footpath works by the community and assist in gaining grant funds for future works. Council looks forward to future community engagement about the Pomona Walking Network Plan.

8.3 PAT SPICER
QUESTION 1
With what other Community Housing Provider, other than Coast2Bay, has Noosa Council had discussions, if ever, about provision of social and affordable housing in Noosa Shire?
RESPONSE FROM KIM RAWLINGS, DIRECTOR STRATEGY AND ENVIRONMENT Over the last 10 years Noosa Council has had discussions with at least a dozen Registered Community Housing Providers, some of whom have indicated an interest in building or acquiring housing in Noosa Shire. Some of these providers are expert in specific forms of housing such as housing for people with disabilities, seniors, people escaping domestic or
ORDINARY MEETING MINUTES 17 JULY 2025

family violence or first nations people. There is a categorisation system of registration with only Tier 1 providers generally having the capacity and capability to do their own developments. A number of large CHPs such as Brisbane Housing Company have done many exemplary developments but are typically at a scale and density more suited to the metropolitan setting. Having said that, we still engage with them and seek their advice on design, feasibility and operational matters. Coast2Bay is the only Tier 1 provider specifically based on the Sunshine Coast.

QUESTION 2
What other land in Cooroy, other than 62 Lake Macdonald Drive, does Noosa Council own?
RESPONSE FROM KIM RAWLINGS, DIRECTOR STRATEGY AND ENVIRONMENT Council owns land throughout the Shire with most of it being for parks, open space and land to protect vegetation. The Table below is not exhaustive but lists properties owned by Council close to Cooroy.

The meeting adjourned at 10.26am.
The meeting resumed at 10.42am.
