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 Wilkie said

64.1 hours on the record at 283 meetings between 21 February 2019 and 6 October 2026, as Cr for 37.3 hours and Mayor for 26.8 hours: about 14 minutes a meeting, 11% 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.

00:23:18 · 1 min

Yeah, a question? No, no, I'll speak to it, Chair. This is a genuinely affordable housing project that helps meet a dire need in our community and our nation. It's consistent with the Planning Schemes Community Facility Zone. It's a well-serviced location, close to existing health care, community services, public transport, and the Cooroy Town Centre. It progresses the objectives of the Noosa Housing Strategy. And the application, importantly, the application is supported by a deed of agreement with Blue CHP, which is a Tier 1 housing provider that would lock in and manage the 19 small affordable rental premises for 20 years. It's a mix of one- and two-bedroom units. All dwellings have been designed with accessibility considerations in mind. 24 car parking spaces on site, as well as 20 bicycle parking spaces. The other significant feature is that …

7.2.5 NOOSA EVENTS STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK, POLICY, AND GOVERNANCE

01:24:52 · 3 min

Thank you. Well, today we introduce also the Noosa Events Strategic Framework 2026-2031 and the accompanying Noosa Events Management Policy. It's a forward-thinking approach that will help ensure events continue to enhance our community while protecting the lifestyle and amenity that residents value most. Events are an important part of what makes Noosa a vibrant and connected community. They bring us together, celebrate our culture, support local businesses, and contribute to our social and economic well-being. But as our community has consistently told us, successful events must also respect our environment, our public spaces, and the everyday lives of residents. This is exactly why this new strategy is so important. The framework establishes a clear vision for the future of events in Noosa, but it does so with a strong focus on balance. It recognises that events should deliver genuine …
