Response provided by Director Strategy & Environment, Kim Rawlings
The research and data gathering that informed the development of the DMP began 5 years ago, the issues the DMP seeks to address have been ongoing for many years and Council has sought to understand and address these issue throughout this period in different ways and therefore allocated resources to these issues also across this period. The estimated cost associated with the development and delivery of Noosa’s Destination Management Plan to date, is estimated to be around $600,000 over a five-year period or approximately $120,000 per year when averaged across the five-year period.
This accounts for less than 0.07% % Noosa Council’s cumulative budget and likewise, less than 0.7 % of the Directorate’s budget responsible for the development of the DMP over the same period.
This figure estimates the total cost of the project including (but not limited to):
- Portion of Internal staff salaries
- Consultant and professional service fees
- Research and analysis
- Community engagement activities over 3 comprehensive engagement processes.
- Workshops and stakeholder consultations
- Surveys and data collection
- Advertising and communications
- Graphic design and publication costs
- Associated project delivery and operational expenses to date (including development of the DMP Portal)
QUESTION 2
Can Council confirm whether annual dog registration renewal notices for all affected dog owners were successfully generated by Council's internal systems for the registration periods that resulted in the recent infringement notices being issued?
Response provided by Director Development & Regulation, Richard MacGillivray
Thank you for the question Mr Cooke.
Yes, Council can confirm that dog registration renewal notices and subsequent reminder notices were successfully generated for all registered dogs. It is important to note that Council has over 10,000 registered dogs. 576 infringement notices were issued in April, all of which related to dogs not being registered across multiple years. Prior to infringements being issued Council also issued public media articles requested dog owners to ensure their dog’s registration and details were current. It is relevant to note that in the past two months alone over 1,000 dog record updates have been received and more than 220 new dogs have been registered that had not previously been registered.
