It s the end of the road for this temporary pathway along Park Rd.
This pathway was constructed in 2018 while the major boardwalk upgrade to the national park was taking place.
Councillors were told by staff that the pathway would cost $103,000 to bring up to safety standards and the cost of removal was $130,000.
Removal costs will be covered as part a budget review or other project savings.
Residential care facility
Noosa Hill’s scenic Viewland Dr will now be home to a new Youngcare high-needs residential care facility despite local concerns about the impact of the facility on traffic and parking.
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.
But the nearby property manager of Coral Beach Noosa Resort Finola Thompson, who formally objected to application, is not happy. Everything has been done the wrong way round, the focus should be on having professional operators who have a code of standards, who have response times, Ms Thompson said. How are council going to enforce the conditions, that s the main thing and how will they know whether it s being enforced on not? If you look at the design of that property that has just been approved it all opens out to the street so if that one is not properly managed that will disturb the whole street, she said.
Noosa has battled to control short-term lettings in residential areas that attract large number of tenants whose rowdy socialising impacts nearby neighbours. I understand that this is a police matter and that we can only regulate the land use, Cr Lorentson said. Police as we know are under resourced ⦠my question is why can t we give our local laws officers greater powers? Cr Lorentson said. She said there had to be a point when the council decided to step up and act. However, Mr de Chastel rejected the idea, citing concerns about putting local laws officers in harm s way. Noosa through its planning scheme has prohibited approving party houses .
