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.

7.2.3 DESTINATION STEWARDSHIP COUNCIL DRAFT TERMS OF REFERENCE

00:37:07 · 1 min
We've had a lot of information come back and forth and lots of questions by emails and lots of feedback from community members and I think some of those items are too significant to just include as a minor change that we would defer to the CEO for completion of the document. I think rather than put together a lot of amendments to say these things need to be included, I would like to see the final version before endorsement and before we start on a recruitment process. I think it's really important that that is very clear before we start that process about the mayoral invitations versus what the expression of interest process would be. I think as well we were probably lacking some information about process on how we would appoint an independent chair because it just says …

7.2.4 ZERO EMISSIONS NOOSA (ZEN) Inc. ALLIANCE AGREEMENT

01:01:08 · 5 min
I'm not comfortable entering a three-year agreement without three years funding being agreed up front. These agreements should give each party certainty to plan for the future and ensure solvency. I'm not comfortable entering a three-year agreement without three years funding being I do support a lot of the work ZEN does and acknowledge the significant work of volunteers and staff. The Expo is a great event and there are many more other worthy projects, but that doesn't mean costs should be borne by ratepayers. ZEN's strategic goal number two is to be a sustainable organisation. To do this, ZEN can't keep relying on Council to pay for staff and projects, there has to be an income stream. This agreement has a lot of information about the mechanics and legalities, but not what Council gets in return. There's a reference …

7.2.5 NOOSA EVENTS STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK, POLICY, AND GOVERNANCE

01:53:12 · 2 min
There's no doubt that events can be better managed with a coordinated team across Council, and I support the formation of a Noosa Events Executive Group. This framework has been drafted over many months, and we have had input along the way in workshops, but I still have some questions. I think we have some concerns. Firstly, the lack of measurable KPIs. Priority one, for example, is to improve the shared experience. The target or outcome is a year-on-year improvement in event experience. How is that measuring the priority? Who is it improved for and how is it measured? Priority three is to actively manage events, event impacts. The desired outcome is to protect community amenity and environmental values. But the outcome targets are improved management of traffic, measured by WHO, and increased confidence in planning and management of event …
