Oh, look, thank you for the report, 36.37 applications decided under delegated authority seems to be as many as ever. So it seems to indicate that the DA department is humming along quite nicely. And the purpose and the purpose for reporting this to Council is to indicate to those who are interested in the community that there's a lot that goes on in delegated authority and that Noosa Council rather than the Mayoral Council that always says no, about 96% is equivalent to the percentages here consistently of applications are approved according to the Noosa planning scheme and it is a Council that says yes to compliant applications.

Anyone else wish to talk? I think the key thing that I'd take away is we can't look at the impact on individual businesses we can only look at the planning need and what staff have established is that there is a overriding planning or economic need being established so that in terms of the of control the development trial process the impact on any individual business is something that they're not allowed to consider so I do think it's worthwhile and as I said the market will probably determine how these will be converted into sport and recreation how many will go to medical so I put the motion those in favour and Councillor Wilson sorry that's out of control yes that's because you got a cat in the house where's your cat no he's not here unanimous we then move on to the next item with which is the decision made by delegated authority if I remember right yes planning application signed by delegated authority made 2026 and manager Patrick
