Council is trialling information ‘pop-ups’ at local libraries and the mobile library to give residents another way to comment on major Council projects in addition to its Your Say Noosa website and via email and mail.

“Pop-ups provide information about Council projects and, when the pop-ups are manned, residents can have questions answered by Council officers and Councillors,” says Council’s Community Engagement Manager Debra Bambrook.

Pop-ups for Council’s Draft Koala Conservation Plan, which is already open, and the Draft Noosa Transport Plan, which opens May 25, are likely to be busy.

“One of the University of the Sunshine Coast’s koala tracking dogs will make special guest appearances at all the Noosaville and Cooroy library pop-ups,” said Council’s Principal Environment Officer, Peter Milne.

Pop-ups are a useful way to reach residents who aren’t online or just prefer to have a chat.

Residents can view draft plans, talk to Council officers and Councillors and provide input in a variety of ways, including:

  • Filling out a feedback form;
  • Using a library computer to comment via Council’s Your Say Noosa website;
  • Typing directly into Your Say Noosa using their own tablet or mobile phone;
  • Talking to a Council officer when the pop-up is manned.

The Draft Koala Conservation Plan Pop-ups are open at all libraries from now until June 10 with Council officers, koala tracking dog and Councillors (when available) on hand at Noosaville Library on: Tuesday May 17, 10 am to 12 pm; Tuesday May 24, 10 am - 12 pm and Cooroy Library on: Thursday May 19 10am - 12 pm and Thursday June 2 , 2pm - 4pm.

The Draft Noosa Transport Plan Pop-Ups are open at all libraries from May 25. Council officers and Councillors (when available) will be at the pop-ups on Tuesday May 31 at Cooroy Library, on Wednesday June 1 at Noosaville Library between 10am and 12 noon and at the Noosa Leisure Centre on Saturday June 4 between 8am and 12 noon.

Remember that all Council projects that are open for comment and input can be found at Council’s Your Say Noosa website.
