Questions & minuted responses

These responses are explicitly attributed in the written minutes. Their wording is not assumed to be a spoken reply, a commitment deadline or evidence that an action is complete.

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 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.
