SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 11 JULY 2017
Why should Noosa should be that Community?
Noosa is an environmentally-aware aware community. Its political and
community leaders, Council, local businesses and citizens have all supported
efforts and acted to reduce their plastic packaging footprint. Noosa is the
perfect place to become a plastic-free* community, protect its environment,
enhance its reputation as a responsible and active environmentally-friendly
community and show others how this can be achieved.
The result will be a cleaner and less littered Noosa, an enhanced reputation as a
tourist destination a more aware and prouder community and a leader in
environmental stewardship.
The proposals could also assist Council to improve waste collection services,
creating new business opportunities and new generation resource management
infrastructure.
Our Proposals in Brief
¢ Acommunity initiative involving Council, local businesses (specifically
retail and hospitality), key agencies, markets and festivals, local media
and community organisations.
¢ Focused on promoting and adopting better practices and alternative
products to the use of disposable, non-biodegradable plastic items, often
found in litter and landfill. *
¢ The project will concentrate on adopting better practices in the hospitality
sector, making festivals, markets, fetes and events plastic free* and
encouraging individuals to reduce their own plastic footprint by changing
behaviour and choices.
¢ The initial pilot project would run for one year (ideally with a promoted
start in July 2017), with the option of being extended as a longer term
initiative that supports a plastic free agenda and Noosa Councils waste
reduction goals
¢ Promotional collateral will include shop signage and display, press
coverage, advertising and events, newsletters and community notices,
