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

Machine transcripts of council's recorded meetings since 2019, every passage cued to the second of council's video.

What Deputy Mayor Brian Stockwell said

69.2 hours on the record at 266 meetings between 14 February 2019 and 6 October 2026: about 16 minutes a meeting, 12% of the recording at the meetings where they spoke.

A name is attached to a voice only where the recording establishes it: they introduced themselves, the chair called on them by name, or the voice matches meetings where they were named. Where none of that holds, their words stay under “Speaker N” and are not counted here, so these totals are a floor, not a full count. Airtime is not substance: a chair speaks to run the meeting, and a short question can matter more than a long answer. Machine transcript; quote the recording, not this page.

Lately

Their longest unbroken passages at the most recent meeting where the recording names them, the General Committee Meeting - 6 October 2026. Each timestamp opens council's recording at that second.

7.2.4 ZERO EMISSIONS NOOSA (ZEN) Inc. ALLIANCE AGREEMENT

00:57:52 · 2 min

I'll talk to it. Thank you. So, Councillor Wegener highlighted that what we've got here is the implementation of one of the most important strategies in Noosa's history. The SEND promote what they do based on common sense and economics. But the driver is one of the challenges that humanity has never had to face before. You can only look at the disaster in the pool that's linked to it. So, when we come to this agreement, we look at what makes the most sense economically to achieve transition to a low-carbon economy. And we made the decision early on that it wouldn't be council staff doing the majority of the outreach, that we would get the community involved. We've got a community group to do the outreach, and it's been highly successful. So, one statistic, 63% of households have …

7.2.5 NOOSA EVENTS STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK, POLICY, AND GOVERNANCE

01:44:30 · 2 min

I move that item. It won't be X. It'll be E. Item K be added to read that upon its completion. Events Executive Group review current event limits in the event policy to determine sustainable limits for event approvals, having regard to cumulative impacts, including the duration of which parking areas and recreational spaces are unavailable for public use, as well as broader impacts on the community. There are a number of events and they relate to the previous policy. I believe if we look at what's in the destination management plan where we talk about establishing sustainable carrying capacity, that part of that assessment would look at the impact of events. I'm a little bit uncomfortable that the policy duplicates those numbers, but I'm also a little bit less comfortable of coming up with some other arbitrary figure. So …

7.2.5 NOOSA EVENTS STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK, POLICY, AND GOVERNANCE

02:02:21 · 3 min

In 2018-19 when you were Councillor, Councillor. As Director Kim was talking about, we were under a huge pressure to keep on improving more events, and it was at a stage where every time we had an event, we'd have quite a lot of community complaint. We're not seeing that same pressure for new events, the market for events and the level of complexity associated with getting events and events insurance and et cetera, et cetera, is one where we're seeing downward pressure. And I'm. So it is the right time to start looking at setting forward the framework that we want to go into the future, because there's no doubt it will be cycling for the first time, we had some guiding principles that are aligned with destination management plan, and I think that's really important that this level, …
