Achieving                       our         goals
 To advance our Noosa Vision 2037, we have identified five themes. Within each theme are:
 »   Key focus areas — actions that are to be undertaken in the first 5 years. These key focus areas will feed
     into the Council’s annual Operational Plan and Budget process as specific projects to assist in advancing
     towards the 20 year goal. The key focus areas will be reviewed after 5 years.
 *   20 year goals — the longer term aspirations for the Noosa Shire. If we successfully achieve our key focus
     areas we should be able to successfully work towards our 20 year goals.
