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 Mayor Clare Stewart said

27.2 hours on the record at 157 meetings between 17 April 2020 and 15 February 2024: about 10 minutes a meeting, 9% 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 Ordinary Meeting - February 2024. Each timestamp opens council's recording at that second.
