- Working with Nature, Now and for the Future”

Background
Building on the 2017 Noosa Botanic Gardens Masterplan Stage 1:
Vision document, Noosa Council engaged with the community to
develop a long-term plan for upgrades and improvements over the
next 25 years, ensuring the gardens’ botanical legacy and ongoing
value to the community.
In late 2023, consultants were appointed to initiate this
ra
process. A reference group was then established, including
Friends of the Gardens representatives and various local and
regional community groups and associations. Additionally, an
internal stakeholder reference group was formed, consisting of
Councillors and Council staff.
The Masterplan design response corresponds with the Noosa
Design Principles and the extensive stakeholder engagement
process that was undertaken.
The 2017 Vision was reviewed to reflect evolving community views,
the impact of climate change and the growing desire of residents
and tourists for more inland nature-based experiences. As a
result of extensive community consultation the 2025 Vision and
Objectives were developed.
Design Process
This Landscape Masterplan serves as a guiding document,
addressing key design consideration informed by community
engagement.
Following its endorsement, significant projects will progress
through the conceptual and detailed design phases, aligning
with available funding and Noosa Council’s established
D
processes.
Masterplanning Process
Masterplanning is the process of creating a vision for the
future.
The Vision and Goals of the Masterplan are intended to be
realised over a 25 year timeframe. Adaptive, flexible and
responsive design over that period in the implementation of the
masterplan, will help the gardens and its community to respond
to its changing needs.
The Decision Making matrix will support current and future
site managers and caretakers in setting funding priorities and
establishing timelines for the design and implementation of
projects.
Urgent works will be prioritised, while larger projects will be
carried out over an extended period.

Modifications to the existing garden layout are guided by two key design principles:
• Rainforest collections;

intuitive user experience • Lower Lakeside collections and parklands; and
5. Accessibility - expanding accessible pathways to future-proof the gardens, making them • Lily Pond Amphitheatre

Accessibility
A comprehensive approach across the gardens with any new work will include the upgrade of
infrastructure to foster a cohesive, user-friend environment that prioritises ease of navigation,
• Southern Vehicle Exit to provide a straightforward and direct exit route.
• One-Way internal road ensuring organised and consistent traffic movement lowering the
risk of vehicular conflicts.
Throughout the remainder of the gardens, paths will be upgraded to ensure that pedestrian
