31:29 Mayor Stewart: is from Ms. Hayley Haas. Oh, hello, Hayley. Would you like to come up to the podium? You're well-versed. Thank you.

31:36 Speaker 2: What specific application and or involvement does the SEQ Council of Mayors Resilient Rivers Initiative have in the formulation and or execution of the Noosa River Catchment Management Plan?

31:51 Speaker 1: Me again? Yeah. Council of Mayors of South East Queensland, which is commonly known as CommSec, and I'll use that term, has indicated that South East Queensland Waterways and Wetlands Investment Strategy, which Council provided input to, is likely to be endorsed by the Resilient Rivers Task Force in December. Council has formulated the Noosa River Catchment Management Plan taking into account the framework for catchment action plans already endorsed by other councils. Catchment action plans can be developed by councils or the Resilient Rivers Initiative in partnership with council and key stakeholders. If council has an existing plan for its catchment, it will expedite funding decisions, but the absence of one

32:39 includes a multi-criteria analysis for potential projects and sets a vision for funding for the future of the region's waterways and wetlands. CommSec has invited council to put forward high priority projects. Funding for projects is not guaranteed, however, co-contributions for projects will utilise good science and engineering and will be well received.

33:05 Speaker 2: Can council please outline what community consultation occurred before Noosa Council decided and or resolved to join the SEQ Council of Mayors?

33:16 Speaker 1: Thank you, Kabi. The decision to join the SEQ Council of Mayors or CommSec was made at the council meeting on 16 September 2021. The decision to join CommSec has already proven to be advantageous for the Shire of Noosa with the access to a range of funding opportunities that Noosa Council would not ordinarily have access to. And with the advent of the 2032 Olympic Games, it's important to have a seat at the table to be aware of and utilise opportunities as they emerge. Okay.

33:49 Mayor Stewart: Thank you, everyone. Thank you. We are now up to item eight, which is consideration of committee reports. 8.1, Planning and Environment Committee Report, 10 October 2023. 5.1, was referred to the Zero Emissions Noosa Zen Inc.

35:05 I, Councillor Stewart, inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this matter in relation to number 280PW23 slash 0077 in the list of applications in the report as I have a close personal friendship with Jane Margaret Blake. A result of my conflict of interest, I will now leave the meeting room while the matter is considered and voted on. Thank you, Councillor Wilkie, who will take my...
