They are in the process of interviewing for the positions for two extra admin positions for STA compliance and overview which is looking positive.
Obviously, the figures don’t add up for June if there are only 20 left to be assessed. All put together they come to 2687.
What happened to the missing/unaccounted for 625?
Apparently, the process/approval making STAs inconsistent use in medium and high density residential areas is STILL awaiting approval from State Government.
I still for the life of me can’t believe that everyone from Councillors all the way down the line seem petrified to poke the Big Bad Wolf aka The State Government?
Never heard of the squeaky wheel?
Yes, its a pity that Noosa Council doesn't have the will or intestinal fortitude to petition the Queensland State Government on the STA issue in the way that Byron Council is aggressively engaging with the NSW Government.
