The council is considering whether to waive or partially waive the development application fees for Sunshine Coast Sports Aviators Inc, Craig Davies, Noosa Par 3, Courtware Pty Ltd and Carol Gordon. Councillors were expected to make a final ruling on the waivers during tonight’s Ordinary Meeting.
Long lease
NOOSA Council is in lease negotiations with the RSL Tewantin-Noosa Sub-Branch for two five-year periods at 3 Pelican Street. The agenda item calls for councillors to approve a first five-year lease from 2 March 2015, with a second five-year extension or a total of 10 years. Councillors had previously voted in favour of the lease agreement, but would make their final votes during the Ordinary Meeting tonight.
Slip lane solution
TRAFFIC congestion on the Coolum-Yandina Road is set to ease in the next 12 months through a joint plan between Sunshine Coast Council and the State Government.
Division 9 Councillor Stephen Robinson said a new slip-lane would soon be installed at the roundabout near Coolum State School.
“I’m very pleased to announce that the State has committed $200,000 for a new left turn slip lane from South Coolum Road,” he said.
“The council has also offered to provide funding above the $200,000 State Government contribution if required.”
The new slip lane is expected to be complete within the next 12 months.
