What is new in council's record, every register, newest first. The last 45 days are here; every year back to 2014 has its own page.

Each row is listed on the date the record gives it: the day an application was lodged, a meeting sat, an appeal first appeared on an agenda. Grants and contracts on council's monthly list carry no day, so they are listed on the night this site first saw them. Follow it in a feed reader: feed.xml.

   Issue The Lanyana Way land exchange

   Council voted 6–0 to pursue a swap of public car-park land with the owner of the former Noosa Heads Bowls Club site, thirteen days before a 208-apartment plan for that site was unveiled. What the public would receive in return has not been published. When a smaller housing project was proposed next door in 2024, the mayor fought it and it became an election issue. This one has barely been reported.

    Issue The disclosure log Queensland stopped requiring

    Until 1 July 2025 a Queensland department had to publish the documents it released under Right to Information, and had to keep a public list of every application it received. Both duties were repealed. Councils were never covered by either — and across the five financial years in which Noosa received sixty-eight RTI applications, thirteen entries were added to its disclosure log.

    Issue The Wildfire waste agreement

    Council has approved entering into a trial waste-supply agreement with Wildfire Energy without seeking tenders. The value, term, tonnage and start date are withheld, and the public record does not say whether the waste goes to Wildfire's existing Bulwer Island pilot plant or the commercial one scheduled for 2028.

    Issue Lions Park overflow parking

    Council has run seasonal overflow parking on a Noosa Heads reserve for more than twenty years. On 11 August councillors were told to proceed on the basis that a land management plan was required, and voted down five attempts to test that. Nine days later they were told it was not required.

    Issue The Doonan compost facility

    Council approved up to $9 million towards a composting facility, conditional on a grant it has since applied for. It then announced the project in a media release carrying no dollar figure — and neither did any of the coverage that followed.
