Noosa Greens trash the environment
Comments today by the Noosa Greens candidate that would see Noosa's signage policy trashed and allow almost open slather to erect election signs throughout Noosa, have been slammed by the LNP Member for Noosa Glen Elmes.
"In other electorates on the Sunshine Coast, State candidates are able to display 40 corflute signs. Council candidates can erect 20 each within their division. With 6 candidates vying to become the next State Member for Noosa, the Green's proposal would see up to 240 signs erected almost overnight throughout our community.
