Machine transcripts of council's recorded meetings since 2019, every passage cued to the second of council's video.
What Director Walsh said
6.3 hours on the record at 47 meetings between 20 June 2024 and 20 August 2026: about 8 minutes a meeting, 5% of the recording at the meetings where they spoke. A council officer: they speak when councillors ask, so their time on the record follows the questions put to them.
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.

8.1 EDUOARD RIOTTOT
00:17:04 · 1 minThank you for the question. Speed limits are determined in accordance with Queensland Transport's Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices , Speed Controls, which considers factors such as road function, vehicle speeds, roadside activity and road safety. To ensure consistent and appropriate speed limits across Queensland. Council acknowledges concerns regarding vehicle speeds and has recorded the nominated locations for future investigation. An initial review of available Compass LOT speed data indicates that speeding may be an issue on Ben Lexham Drive, Southern Cross Parade and Dane Paddy Drive. And these roads have been added to Council's proposed schedule for speed limit reviews. As part of the assessment process, Council may undertake traffic counts and speed surveys. To determine whether the current speed environment is appropriate. Any proposed speed limit change must satisfy technical assessment criteria and be considered by the …
11.1.3 NOOSA HEADS LIONS PARK LAND MANAGEMENT PLAN
01:37:52 · 1 minOver the Easter period, it was taken over only the five days I think that the car park was operating. So it wasn't an extensive trial. We need to be clearer about that to actually examine the impacts. So, and that was for the use of, through a traffic control company that assist us in the gathering of that data, basically manually. So the most important data in terms of traffic movement that we base our modelling is actually from the car park. There's a car park tech trial that was carried out in the summer of 23-24. And there's a report in the August 2024 GoNUSA report that compiles all of that data. And that's how we know that there's 14,000 movements in that report. So the assessment is a comparison against that longer term data of the whole …
15 MEETING CLOSURE
04:05:58 · under a minuteIf I could assist the Chair, I just want to note, working through the people and culture area, we're actually working on a dedicated piece early ahead of the Workplace Capability Plan with a specific focus on infrastructure services and the need for project managers to be able to do that. And I just want to thank the Director and Manager for pulling that out, because the forces we're faced against across the region are significant, and if we need to have confidence in the delivery of our capital rights program, we need to significantly improve our thrust. Now, whilst we have had some resources challenges, we have had an increasing delivery of the program in recent years, evidenced by the increase in commitments. And we also note that some of the models that we're using, such as use of …
