Principle 4 – Efficiency: Encourage effective and efficient use of resources through coordination
              and collaboration of NFP, commercial and government providers.
Principle 5 – Environmentally Responsible: All providers of sport and active recreation facilities
              aim to achieve best practice use of natural resources and technologies to minimise
              the impact on our environment.
Furthermore, the Draft Plan proposes targets to achieve the vision.
   Life-long participation
   Best practice of delivery of sport
   Choice of facilities and services
   Efficient use of spaces and facilities
   Environmentally responsible management practices

Proposed recommendations are included in the Draft Plan and are intended as points for public
discussion and feedback before being consolidated into a Final Plan which will articulate specific
actions and timeframes for implementation of the recommendations.

Proposed Consultation on Draft Plan

The Draft Plan will be made available for public exhibition and comment for a period of 30
business days. Community engagement on the Draft Plan will include:
   A launch of the Draft Plan at Noosa Springs Resort with invitations sent to all Noosa based
     sport and active recreation not for profit and commercial providers, peak regional and state
     sporting bodies and Department of National Parks Sport and Racing representatives
     (including QPWS);
   Media release;
   Council’s webpage listing;
   Community and stakeholder feedback via ‘Your Say Noosa’, Library and Council Pop Ups
     and Community Connections e-newsletter (targeting not for profit organisations in the
     Shire);
   Further meetings with the relevant State and Federal agencies to obtain their feedback
   Continued engagement with service providers and targeted stakeholders throughout the
     Shire to refine the key recommendations and develop a detailed action plan.

Finalisation of the Plan

Feedback and advice received by Council within the specified consultation period, will be
collated, reviewed and provided to relevant stakeholders (including the Sport and Active
Recreation Plan Community Reference Group) for consideration prior to the development of the
Final Plan.

Once the Plan has been finalised Council Officers will develop a 3 year action plan and then
