Noosa Council Watch

An independent, unofficial record of Noosa Shire Council — what council decided, what they closed the doors on, and why it matters. About this site

Noosa Council meetings since 2014: papers, decisions and recordings, and from April 2023 the video cued to each item.

General Committee Meeting - 12 June 2017

Monday 12 June 2017 · General Committee Meeting · 13 decisions minuted

This meeting predates council's current meetings system, which begins in April 2023, so there is no agenda here with each item cued to the video. What follows is what the record holds: council's papers, and the decisions its minutes record.

Papers

Council keeps papers from before April 2023 on a separate archive page for each year, listed by meeting date. The files stay on council's site — why.

Decisions

Every decision the minutes record, in the order minuted. Where a division was called the names are on the contested votes register; otherwise the minutes say only whether it carried.

Some sport and recreational uses are accepted an Industry zone given the potential impacts of sport and recreation uses; and 3. The fitness centre is of a similar size and scale to other approved Entertainment & Dining Business’s Type 2 within the Noosaville Industrial area.
