Multi-million dollar debt pay-down
|
In a red letter day for ratepayers, Council will use $10 million in cash reserves to pay off a significant portion of the debt it inherited at de-amalgamation.
Noosa Mayor Tony Wellington said the payment is a clear demonstration of this council’s excellent fiscal management.
“Some habitual Council detractors continue to falsely suggest that we are in financial trouble, but this decision is clear evidence of a well-managed, financially sound council,” he said.
Councillors unanimously endorsed the $10 million pay down of the debt at the recent Ordinary Meeting, held at Cooran. Read more.

Firing up gas-capture plan
|
|
Noosa Council is adding lateral gas capture lines to the Eumundi-Noosa Road landfill to boost the amount of methane being collected and flared.
Flaring turns methane into less potent CO2, therefore helping to reduce its global warming impact.
The initiative is part of Council’s ongoing quest to achieve net zero emissions by 2026, Mayor Tony Wellington said. Read more.

Seeking signage plan views
|
|
From mid-June, residents can have a say on a new local law to manage advertising signage and maintain Noosa's unique ‘look and feel’.
Environment and Sustainable Development Director Kim Rawlings said signage can have a visual impact on Noosa if not well managed and the proposed local law is the best way to do this.
It captures signage rules from the current Noosa Plan and local laws, with proposed changes. Read more.
