…be circulating for an hour waiting for a park once they're there. They can have their coffee, have their swim and be on their way out before a lot of people have even found people have even found a park so to say there's no viable mass transit alternative is not, in my view, correct. We've got the data. We know that Lions Park car parking creates congestion. But again, back to …
…consequences of approving like I keep going back to additional supply whether it is a coffee shop that you mentioned before Patrick or whether it's more Pilates studios and gyms and yoga studios should we be considering the potential impact. It's going to have on what even the report itself talks refers to as a volatile sector is that a consideration for Council or am I steppin…
Public consultation can mean anything from just having a pop-up session or a Councillor coffee chat or Facebook survey or just inviting email submissions to Councillors. I don't think we need to necessarily say it's going to be an expensive huge process and I think we're just inviting public feedback on spending. Public funds, so I'll support it.
…really with a meaningful objective. Councillor Wilson just talked about feedback from the coffee chat or whatever. I think for me it's about clarification about what the, I see the overall intent. That do we break that down? I do believe there's other processes that we could arrive to that place. In terms of governance, I have real concerns around the process to arrive at what'…
…resident that I've spoken to has attended every consultation session, every pop-up, every coffee chat, every walk shop. She's written to me in detail. She has never previously opposed a Council proposal. She's showed up every step of the way on this particular project because this project directly affects her family's daily life, their safety, their property access, and in her …
…Strategic projects and ongoing formal interactions with Councillors and staff. Such as coffee chats, Council meetings at Cooroy, Kin Kin, Boreen Point and Tewantin. Deputations and formal engagement mechanisms such as Liveability Survey, Community Satisfaction Survey and the Destination Management Plan. This engagement has not operated in isolation. It has been deliberately con…
…in telling us what they would like. Are great money spent on when we meet them during coffee chats or out of the Ordinary Meeting community outreach meetings in different halls around mainly the hinterland communities. Certainly roads, natural areas, parks, community very, community sites. Very important. Ratepayers and residents have told Council they expect clear value for mo…
…the broad so we've got the broader survey but then we also, you know, you're out doing coffee chats, you're out in the community on a regular basis, not all the time. We're doing. We're taking. Out to the community, we're having sessions before those meetings for those opportunities and that's really where people come with their particular agendas to those question times. We ha…
…report together. And you're right, when you go through the report and all our surveys and coffee chats and engagements and emails, there's clearly a significant amount of listening analysis and lots of topics that cover. But I'm going to go back to the question that I asked before. To me I still think we need to ask one question directly and that question is, the community comf…
…Councillors that are willing to meet with the community members on a daily basis. Engage in coffee chats, take the ordinary meetings out to the community where we get to hear face-to what the issues are for our residents and ratepayers and again, I do agree, it is, we are in a position of trust and that trust is not taken lightly. We are entrusted to make decisions on behalf of…
…tracks coming down. The VOA states that the vegetation condition is poor and notes the coffee rope slope is badly eroded from foot traffic coming down the slope from bypass probably also overland flow from top and peak flow from the creek. So is there one more? No. No. So, the Councillors I agree that we should treat the degradation of our coastal dunes in the Burgess Creek as …
…Council has ratified a motion to help promote voluntary transition away from single-use coffee cups. Have we reflected that position in the current lease?
…using all options available on the table so we've got a hybrid approach to delivery of coffee at the NAC.
…cover the broad gamut of the community if he could include the option of having takeaway coffee cups and he was more than happy with that so and he still gets obviously questions for that he's obviously had some feedback at times where people have asked for that and he wasn't able to deliver it so we just come to a nice happy medium that we're going to have a hybrid approach mo…
…is that it remains and there's quite a lot of latent interest in refreshment vans and coffee vans in the community. So there's a number on the list that we compile to contact directly and we'll give someone else an opportunity to hold that permit and try and make a go of it. Obviously at the Spit, over time, we may have changes to parking regimes and things. The other thing tha…
…unanimous. And that brings us to consideration of committee reports. 11.1.1, single-use. Coffee cups program. 11.1.2, organisation emissions reductions progress report. 11.1.3, it's a Planning & Environment Court appeal. D114 of 2.025 from minor change to a development permit from the MCU for a duplex at Duke Street, Sunshine Beach. 11.1.4 was an other change to an existing app…
…deputations, are, so we'll move straight into reports for consideration of community, single-use coffee cups program, 7.1, and I welcome you to your new shiny desk.
…to develop a scalable action plan and show leadership by shifting away from single-use coffee cups in Council space. Some may say that single-use coffee cups are not the most some important may say that single-use coffee cups are not the most important issue for us to tackle as an organisation or as a community. However, it is hard not to notice how prevalent they are in the li…
…that this is such an issue. But I think that given that this is such an we phase out coffee cups, we can phase out a lot of other things. If we phase out coffee cups, we can success see in this program. Can see success in this program and we can build on budget allocation from there.
