6. NEW WAYS OF WORKING


Give the new ways of working agreed in the last funding agreement, we developed a vision and mission to help
focus our activities.


  •   Vision – “Noosa – living proof environmental protection inspires healthy and prosperous communities”
  •   Mission – “Working together on ‘big ideas’ research, piloting, fund raising, advocacy and action”
  •   Priority areas – Marine, Land, Wildlife, People and Economy
  •   Generate an exciting set of big ideas to work on quickly.


Based on the experience with the Bring Back the Fish program we have agreed the following modus operandi
which is working well for us.



                   PHASE 1                        PHASE 2                      PHASE 3
                 INVESTIGATE                       PILOT                       DELIVERY


Our modus operandi for 2018-2028 is:

PHASE 1: Investigate (typically first 12 months)

      1. Identify priority areas and key issues.
      2. Canvass priority area expertise to develop a common understanding and big ideas, by:
            i. Consulting stakeholder groups
            ii. Scientific market research of existng research and gap analysis
            iii. Convene a symposium of scientists, community groups and philanthrapists/funding bodies to 		
                 identify a project that has agreed scientific rigour and local and philanthropic support
      3. Scope a 10-year Action Plan & Key Projects facilititation paper for each Priority Area.
      4. Respond with proposed deliverables: a 10-year Action Plan and framework of where to source funding
      support. Consult with local Council and stakeholders.

PHASE 2: Pilot

      5. Pilot of project plan/s and prove big idea: Major projects are likely to have a pilot study phase of several
      years where the hypotheses are proven and/or adapted.

PHASE 3: Delivery

      6. Funding sought for full projects: secure external funding to leverage NBRF investments to realise the
      project, form project teams and engage community.
      7. Delivery of full project.
