General Committee for 2026. We'd like to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of this land, the Kabi Kabi people, and since it's the first one we should remind ourselves why we do that yeah, in the Kabi Kabi Commitment. They really encourage both councils, staff and all the community to embrace the concept of custodianship, having the humility and respect to care for and protect that which sustains us in return. And they, for Kabi Kabi, invite us to experience the beauty of Noosa, from the koalas, from the sacred mount karuri in the west, to the white-bellied sea eagle fishing in the Everglades to the north, to humpback whales migrating along the eastern New Zealand and the lockheeds and that kind of white sandy beaches, and it's good. Just remember why we like to live here, play here, and the importance of protecting those things that do sustain us. We then move on to the attendance, and we note that all Councillors except for Councillor Wilson are here. Councillor Wilson has extended her apologies for today's meeting being spilled onto Christmas Eve. We then move on to the adoption of the Minutes. The adoption of December 10 committee meeting. I saw Councillor Wilkie and I saw the arm of Councillor Wegener. Presuming there's no discussion, all those in favour? And that's carried unanimously. We then move on to the section 8 which is reports directed to General Committee and the first one is the endorsement of the Noosa Local Disaster Management Plan 2026 and we have sue, our disaster coordinator and our acting manager of design and we would like to give you an executive summary of the report.
