Take time to think about food By Erle Levey It was a highly successful celebration of food the way it can bring people together over good conversation and recognition of what goes into presenting food from paddock to the plate. The Slow Food Noosa annual dinner is to honour those local farmers, producers, retailers and those in hospitality who have been recognised with the Snail of Approval. Held at Park and Cove restaurant at Peppers Noosa Resort, the evening saw great engagement between producers from Noosa and surrounds who adhere to the Slow Food principles of good, healthy and fair food for all. It was a night filled with genuine connection, insightful conversations, and a deep appreciation for the journey food takes from our local paddocks to our plates. Slow Food Noosa president Anne Godfrey perfectly captured the atmosphere: “Convivial, welcoming, inclusive, creative and community building.” Slow Food also encourages sustainable practices in food production but also care for the environment. This was highlighted by the announcement another eight individuals or enterprises from within the Snails of Approval or Slow Food Noosa members would be eligible for 100 free trees to be planted on their properties in conjunction with Noosa Landcare.

Plan for Pomona Noosa Council’s Place Program reached a milestone last week with councillors endorsing the Pomona Place Plan at its ordinary meeting with an implementation plan to follow. The Pomona Place Program commenced in June 2023 with consultants Crew and Archipelago engaged to assist in the program’s design
and delivery after Pomona village was selected in February 2023 as the location for a Placemaking pilot, given its character and distinct identity as an engaged community. The Plan aims to make Pomona an even better place to live and includes actions related to the local economy, heritage, transport, connectivity,

arts and environment. It was developed based on community input and responses from three rounds of community consultation, engaging more than 500 people, and amended considering submissions. During the ordinary meeting residents Nick Cooke and Hayley Hass asked why actions had
appeared in the final plan that had not been raised in consultation and scrutiny phases of engagement. The actions included accommodation options for visitors, investigating future commercial and industrial land for Pomona and the installation of CCTV. Continued page 2
