LANDSCAPING MAINTENANCE

A major part of the voluntary work undertaken by the Noosa Waters Residents Association is the maintenance of most of the public landscaping in the Estate. Council provides the funding for materials and special services, but the labour is predominantly provided by the Association.

This is an arrangement unique to Noosa Waters, as the Association was seeking a higher level of service than that provided to other residential areas of the Shire as against Council's policy of providing the same level of service to all residential areas. In the absence of additional funding from Council, the Association decided to maximise the value of their budget allocation by using volunteers.

The arrangement has worked very well due to the enthusiasm and commitment of the Association and residents. In turn, Council liaises with the Association on any requests received from residents for landscaping maintenance including requests for tree removals and trimming to ensure it fits with the Association's budget priorities.

Notice posted 17th November 2009:
The following is a list of Noosa Waters trees that will be removed and replaced by more suitable species. All trees to be removed have been marked with red paint. Removal will take place within the next month but replacement will not happen until we get a change in the weather pattern - we need rain! Council hasn't received all quotes for the removal work yet, but will try to let us know in advance the exact dates the work will be carried out.

Please don't be alarmed about trees being removed as Council will replace them on a "one out two in" basis, though not necessarily in the same place. Comments or questions to Kerrie-Ann Milsted of the Sunshine Coast Regional Council.
