Cr Stewart, who has never held previous public office, narrowly deposed incumbent Tony Wellington for the top job, largely on her new broom approach and a promise to listen and respond more to community and business needs. Not a woman in sight – the first Noosa Shire Council in 1910 was as blokey as they come. This was after the Wellington Council had become tainted with the jailing of long-serving councillor Frank Pardon and the public outrage that erupted around former councillor Jess Glasgow s behaviour on TV reality show The Bachelorette. Mr Pardon, who has since lost his appeal on historical charges of indecent treatment of a child, was forced to resign while Mr Glasgow failed to win re-election last March.
It s the second round of community consultation for the region. Once finalised the plan will be used in conjunction with the Noosa planning scheme as well as management and infrastructure planning. Noosa Council is one of 10 coastal councils throughout Queensland that have either completed or conducting public consultation for their coastal hazards adaptation plan, he said. It s all about identifying, communicating and preparing for the increased risks of coastal hazards, that s coastal erosion, and tidal and flood inundation as a result of sea level rise and increased storm weather events due to climate change. We ve started to see erosion effects at Sunrise and Sunshine Beach, Noosa Heads and also we know Noosaville is affected by severe floods.
Development company director Cos Schuh of Gympie We were pleased to the councillor s approach to it, the co-operation of the council on this has been excellent, he said. I would think we d be looking and the minimum investment in the building of $3 million. Mixed development is not all that easy to pull together, but we think that s worked well for that space - hopefully it fits with what Cooroy s all about because it s just a nice place to live, Mr Schuh said. This new complex will be built at the former Energex depot site. Councillor Brian Stockwell said the project would contribute to a character refresh of that side of town.
Warick Redwood believes Noosa s lifestyle needs special protections. He said accommodation providers also had to be held accountable for preserving the neighbouring amenity and his night manager was on call to deal with any complaints. However, he said his own home was surrounded by three short stay rentals and he had to ask rental guests to stop swimming at midnight so he could get up and work in the morning. I ve got no problem with people renting their houses to Airbnb, because we need people and more variety, he said. Mr Redwood said the affordable housing situation in Noosa was outrageous .
