Businesses granted signage extension
|
Council has extended the transition period to allow businesses with existing non-compliant signage more time to comply with the new signage Local Law, which was adopted in February this year.
In response to the ongoing COVID-19 situation, and its impact on many local businesses, the transition period has been extended until February 28, 2021.
This will give businesses more time to ensure their existing signage complies with the new requirements.
Director, Environment and Sustainable Development, Kim Rawlings said the Local Law requirements initially had a six-month transition period to give businesses a chance to work towards compliance.
With the start of the Noosa Plan 2020, the Local Law requirements now apply to temporary and permanent advertising signage.
Although the transition period has been extended for existing signage to comply, businesses that are proposing new signage will still need to make an application for any new signage that requires approval under the Local Law.

Cultivating self-sufficiency
|
Noosa Library Service will launch a seed library to help local residents grow their own food.
It’s hoped the project will cultivate a community of keen gardeners. As well as enjoy produce from the plants, library members can complete the cycle by harvesting seeds from the plants they’ve grown and returning them to the library for others to use.
The initiative is funded and supported by the Queensland Government and State Library of Queensland. Read more.

Maple Street changes
|
We’re asking for your say on planned carparking changes for Maple Street, Cooroy.
Under the changes, rear-in parking along Maple Street will become nose-in parking to improve pedestrian safety, reduce exhaust emissions for café patrons and reduce vehicle overhang such as from towbars.
Work would be carried out as part of upcoming planned roadworks. To have a say, email mail@noosa.qld.gov.au or write to PO Box 141, Tewantin Qld 4565 by 5pm, August 28.
