Noosa Council Watch What council decided, what they closed the doors on, and why it matters. https://noosacouncilwatch.com/ 2026-08-23T00:00:00Z The Doonan compost facility https://noosacouncilwatch.com/issues/compost-facility/ 2026-08-23T00:00:00Z Council has committed up to $9 million to a composting facility. It announced the project in a media release that did not contain a dollar figure, and neither did any of the coverage that followed. Lions Park overflow parking https://noosacouncilwatch.com/issues/lions-park-overflow-parking/ 2026-08-23T00:00:00Z Council has run seasonal overflow parking on a Noosa Heads reserve for more than twenty years. In 2026 it discovered it may never have had the legal power to. Then it spent two meetings avoiding the question. The Wildfire waste agreement https://noosacouncilwatch.com/issues/wildfire-waste-agreement/ 2026-08-23T00:00:00Z Council has committed to a waste deal with a company whose plant will not run until 2028. No tender was called, the price is sealed, and the CEO's spending limits were expressly lifted for it. Ordinary Meeting - 20 August 2026 — our write-up https://noosacouncilwatch.com/meetings/2026-08-20-ordinary-meeting-20-august-2026/story/ 2026-08-20T00:00:00Z Council reversed itself on Lions Park after the legal advice quietly changed, and adopted a motion doing roughly what it had voted down five times nine days earlier. General Committee Meeting - 11 August 2026 — our write-up https://noosacouncilwatch.com/meetings/2026-08-11-general-committee-meeting-11-august-2026/story/ 2026-08-11T00:00:00Z Five attempts to get legal advice or ask the Minister a question were voted down, one on the chair's casting vote. Nine days later council did two of them anyway.
