     Liveability
     People highly value Noosa’s unique lifestyle which balances
     health, wellbeing, recreation and opportunity within our
     renowned natural and built environment. Our residents enjoy
     the benefit of towns, villages, and rural areas with distinct
     characteristics. They live within a connected, supportive,
     and inclusive community linked by shared values. People’s
     individual needs are assisted through appropriate services

     and infrastructure to maximise wellbeing and resilience.
     Council’s objective is to retain and enhance these aspects
     that underpin our prized lifestyle.


     Our thriving community, arts, cultural, sporting and leisure
     sectors facilitate a rich community life.


     A diverse range of services, facilities and amenities are well
     maintained and accessible to cater for our broad range
     of community needs, regardless of age, ability, or budget.
     Our aim is to maintain and improve these into the future.
     Council is proactively seeking to address the housing crisis
     in our community and manage impacts on liveability, with an
     increase in resourcing, commitment, and investment. Council
     cannot do this alone and will look to partner with all levels of
     government, industry, and the housing sector to create an
     inclusive Noosa community where everybody has access to
     safe, secure housing they can afford. Noosa Shire is striving
     to have an efficient, free flowing, innovative transport system
     that enhances resident and visitor experiences, and results in
     sustainable environmental outcomes. Our movement system
     facilitates the movement of people and goods – it prioritises
     pedestrians, cyclists, and public transport rather than cars.
