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

Special Meeting - 23 June 2022

Thursday 23 June 2022 · Special Meeting · 8 decisions minuted

Decisions · Transcript · Video · Papers

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, the recording, and the decisions its minutes record.

What was said

Read the whole meeting, every passage cued to council's own recording — or search within what was said. It is a machine transcript, so the recording is the record. Recording © Noosa Shire Council; the transcript is ours.

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.
