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 Cr Frank Pardon said

5.2 hours on the record at 24 meetings between 14 February 2019 and 28 November 2019: about 13 minutes a meeting, 10% 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.

Councillor Pardes? Yes, Mr Chairman. Yeah, look, I agree with some of those statements of Councillor Wilkie. But I'm going to die in the dishes over vision statements. That's probably the longest one I've ever seen. But having workshopped many over the years, no one ever agreed on a vision statement. It becomes a mishmash and eventually you arrive at something that everyone can live with. But that's okay. The Noosa River Plan, gee, we go way back, 2004 and beyond. And some of the questions that Councillor Jackson put in there, I think they're very important. What are we doing about the, you know, grey water into the river? What are we doing about moorings? What are we doing about boat wash? What are we doing about speed on the river? All these things, and that's where we started. …

Yeah, Mr. Chairman, how did I know this had happened? I've workshopped heaps of these things and this is exactly what happens. But look, what I'll do is I'll just rephrase. I'll just say that we'll just reserve judgement until we see what the Chairman's amendment might be. Okay.
