Noosa Climate Change Response Plan
The climate emergency
We are living in times of increasingly complex and rapid change, driven by technological advances,
economic transitions, demographic shifts, and a changing climate. Noosa Council, in partnership
with the local community and other levels of government, has an important responsibility for providing
essential services, managing local risks, and supporting disaster recovery, as well as adapting to
changing circumstances and finding new opportunities to support a safe and prosperous Noosa into
the future.
The 2019-2020 bushfire season, and the global pandemic, are stark reminders of both the fragility of
the social systems and networks upon which we all depend, as well as the importance and benefits
of responsible planning, rapid mobilisation, and working together as a community. COVID-19 has
also shown us that we can make our own new normal – throw out old rules that no longer work for our
community and make new ones, and ask ourselves what we want for our world. The response to the
COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated how scientifically-sound and carefully considered actions can
lead us out of a crisis.
This is the type of unified response needed for responding to the global climate emergency. The
disruptions to our way of life caused by a rapidly changing climate demand a certain moral courage
that enables us to prioritise the ‘collective’ and to take positive action for ourselves, for future
generations, and for the planet. It requires everyone to act, to ‘step up’ and to reimagine and create a
new, cleaner, and safer Noosa.
This Climate Change Response Plan is a vision for a new future for Noosa, and a blueprint for us all to
do our bit locally and to be an example for others of something better. It challenges us all to think big,
heed the scientific advice and take careful and resolute action now.
Our journey so far
Noosa Council declared a climate emergency in 2019, making a strong statement in support
of taking action on climate change as part of a collective voice across local, state, and federal
governments worldwide. We need action at all levels of government and across all sectors to avoid
dangerous climate change. There are carbon emissions within the control of Council, carbon
emissions elsewhere within the Shire that we can influence, as well as those that require regulatory
change and leadership beyond Noosa’s boundaries.
Over the last several years Council has been working to reduce its own emissions. Since 2016,
Council has had in place a Zero Emissions Organisational Strategy for the Council’s operations to
achieve zero net emissions by 2026. In this time, we’ve successfully achieved the following:
• Installation of over 600 kW solar PV across Council owned and operated buildings and facilities
• Improved energy efficiency of air conditioning systems for Council facilities
• Changed hundreds of lights to energy efficient LEDs
• Worked to improve waste management and the efficiency of the landfill gas extraction at the
Noosa landfill site
• Provided grants to community groups for solar and energy efficiency projects

Noosa Climate Change Response Plan
A better future
Through the strategic priorities and actions outlined within this Climate Change Response Plan,
Noosa Council is striving to lead by example by making positive progress, showing the way,
and supporting and inspiring others.
Together, Council and the community are well positioned to be a powerful influencer to drive
deep systemic change from the grassroots level. This includes:
• Transition to net zero emissions by 2026 for Council operations and for the community
Transition to 100% renewable energy powering Council buildings and facilities, and
•
powering Noosa Shire
Drive clean low emissions industry, and innovative technologies and solutions that

Responding to climate change involves a multi-pronged approach:
• Reducing emissions by reducing the levels of heat-trapping greenhouse gases in the
atmosphere through: eliminating the sources of these gases (such as the burning of
fossil fuels for electricity, heat or transport); adopting sustainable development solutions in
energy, land, infrastructure and industrial systems; and enhancing the sinks that store these
gases including vegetation and soils (referred to as carbon drawdown or sequestration)
Adapting to climate change by building resilience in our local communities, built

environments, economy and natural systems to reduce our vulnerability to the harmful
effects of climate change.
This new future also means making the most of the potential opportunities that climate change
brings, such as fostering new clean tech industries and positioning Noosa at the forefront of
innovation and economic development. It means transitioning beyond business as usual to
making a systemic shift across a range of sectors.

Noosa Climate Change Response Plan
About this Plan
This Climate Change Response Plan intends to establish Noosa as a genuine leader in
responding to climate change by creating and implementing a cross-sectoral, cross-functional
approach that is bold and efficient and maximises co-benefits.
The document details a 5-year plan that sets out the context, desired outcomes and actions
for addressing climate change in Noosa Shire in partnership with the community. The plan
provides overarching strategic direction, specific actions and targets for responding to climate
change. The objectives are to ensure:
• Key climate risks are understood and accepted by Council and the community
• Roles and responsibilities for addressing climate risks with Council and key sectors of the
community are established
• Climate risks and emissions reduction are considered and responded to in a holistic and
strategic way and embedded in decision making, policy and planning
• Opportunities arising from climate change for Council and the community are identified
• Collaborative approaches are considered and pursued for reducing emissions and
adapting to climate change
• Implementation and outcomes of climate action and changing risks are monitored and
regularly evaluated.
The plan is structured under 8 themes:
1. Strong leadership and governance
2. Energy efficiency and renewable energy
3. Clean low emissions industries
4. Sustainable transport
5. Healthy and resilient natural systems and carbon drawdown
6. Sustainable agriculture and food systems
7. Resilient and adaptive communities and built environments
8. Zero waste and circular economy
Each theme has strategic priorities with information on why these priorities matter; how they will
be achieved; Council’s role in driving and influencing change; and important partnerships.
Within the Summary of Actions there is an overview of the specific actions to be implemented
over the next few years, indicators for monitoring progress, and estimated timeframes for
delivery.
Ongoing community involvement and contribution in the plan’s implementation is important for
ensuring successful delivery of the ambitions and strategic priorities of the plan.

Noosa Shire Council
Our current climate
The South East Queensland region has a sub-tropical climate. The average annual temperature
is 19°C. Summer average temperature is around 24°C, in autumn and spring it is 20°C, and in
winter 14°C.
Annual and seasonal average rainfall are variable, affected by local factors such as
topography and vegetation, and broader scale weather patterns, such as the El Niño–La Nina.
Most rainfall occurs in summer and autumn.
Our changing climate
The climate is changing across Queensland. Average temperatures across the state are
around 1°C higher than they were 100 years ago. Recent decades have shown a clear
warming trend driven by increasing atmospheric carbon emissions stemming from human
activities. The climate has always been variable, but human-caused climate change is leading
to shifts beyond this natural variability, at a rate that could be as much as 50 times greater than
otherwise would have occurred.
Noosa has a long history of climate-driven extremes such as floods, droughts, heatwaves and
bushfires.
Climate change is likely to exacerbate the frequency and/or severity of these events. It can be
an amplifier of these and other hazards, and even lead to the emergence of new risks.
Below is a summary of the expected changes in key climate variables for Noosa, as well as
some of the risks that we will likely need to adapt to. The figures presented have been obtained
from the Queensland Government’s Climate Dashboard (2021), and are based on a global
emissions scenario whereby low-moderate efforts to reduce carbon emissions are made by the
year 20901.
The risks posed by a rapidly changing climate can be chronic (e.g. changes in average
temperature or annual rainfall totals) or acute (e.g. rapid onset but relatively short-lived disaster
events such as floods and storms).

Oceans
The average sea level for the coastal region Noosa is situated is projected to rise by 0.8m
above present day levels by the year 2100. Higher sea levels will increase the risks posed by
coastal hazards such as storm tide inundation and coastal erosion, and lead to more frequent
nuisance flooding of low-lying foreshore areas. Noosa Council’s Coastal Hazards Adaptation
Plan, and accompanying technical studies, contain details regarding how these risks are
expected to change, and what the most appropriate pathways for dealing with these risks are
for Noosa’s coastal zone.
In addition to sea level rise, sea surface temperatures off the Queensland coast have risen
markedly over recent decades, and warming is projected to continue. Such increases could
lead to changes in the makeup of local marine and estuarine ecosystems. Warmer seas could
lead to a southward expansion in the range of certain tropical marine species, including those
both visually attractive to beachgoers and those that are potentially harmful.
The world’s oceans have been absorbing a significant amount of carbon dioxide emitted by
human activities, and have increased in acidity by around 25%. If carbon emissions continue
to increase as currently, this acidification of the oceans will also increase. Along with increases
in sea surface temperature, this is likely to have a significant effect on marine ecosystems, as
a more acidic ocean makes it more difficult for important marine species such as corals and
plankton to make their skeletons and shells. Such impacts will extend up the oceanic food
chain, affecting important ecological values and economic activities such as commercial and
recreational fisheries and tourism.

The economic cost of climate change
The costs of a changing climate are already being felt, and without action these are likely
to increase significantly in the decades ahead.
For example, the cost of extreme weather in Australia has more than doubled since 1970,
totalling $35 billion over the past decade. By around mid-century, extreme weather events
exacerbated by climate change, as well as the impacts caused by rising sea levels,
could cost the Australian economy $100 billion every year. Figures regarding the potential
economic cost to Noosa from climate change are not yet available.
Climate impacts and risks for key local sectors

Noosa Shire community emissions
Community emissions have been estimated in accordance with the Global Protocol for Community-
scale Greenhouse Gas Emission Inventories2 (GPC). The GPC is designed to promote best practice
greenhouse gas accounting and reporting. The breakdown of Noosa Shire emissions is shown in
Figure 6 below.
Emissions from electricity consumption from the grid account for 58% of the total emissions, whilst
transport emissions make up 33% and waste comprises 9% of total emissions.
Council will regularly update this profile, however it should be noted that the actual quantum of
emissions may change as more accurate and granular data becomes available on a community wide
basis. Updated community emission profiles will be available on Council’s website.

Noosa Council emissions
Noosa Council calculates its own emissions from Council operations in accordance with the Climate
Active Carbon Neutral Standard for Organisations3. These emissions are reported annually.
Council emissions are also included in the community emissions profile. As Council reduces its own
emissions from its operations, it will be reflected in the community emissions profile.
Figure 7 shows Council’s corporate emissions over time, since the baseline year of 2015/16. There
has been an 11% reduction in Council’s total emissions since 2015/16 despite further categories
of emissions being added to Council’s emissions profile as data has become available. Council
has reduced its electricity consumption for its own buildings and facilities by 34% compared to the
baseline year as a result of the installation of over 600kW of rooftop solar, energy efficiencies and
staff behavioural change.
The most significant source of Council emissions (63%) is the landfill owned and operated by Noosa
Council that receives and manages the Noosa community’s residential and commercial waste.
Council’s waste management plan (in development) will deal with landfill emission reductions, as well
as reducing overall waste.

Noosa Climate Change Response Plan
Theme 1:
Strong leadership and governance
Why this is important
Responding to the climate emergency is a collective effort across all sectors of the community.
Council has a unique role to lead by example for the community, other councils and levels
of government. By showing powerful leadership and governance, Council can inspire and
support others to integrate climate emergency responses into their daily activities and longer-
term plans. This means moving from community engagement and education to mobilisation of
the broader community, as well as stronger, political and strategic advocacy.
Council has engaged the community through education campaigns around solar power and
energy efficiency and working with community groups such as Zero Emissions Noosa Inc
(ZEN Inc). This is important and ongoing work. However, Council is broadening its reach and
influence to drive collective action, not just individual action.
How we’ll achieve this
Through this Climate Change Response Plan, Council will assess local climate risks, help
coordinate responses for the Council and local community, and monitor change and progress
over time. Embedding consideration of climate change within all Council departments,
including procurement processes, key policy documents and decisions, including the
corporate plan and staff performance plans is an ongoing priority.
Council will continue to advocate for climate action and strengthen partnership opportunities.
This includes advocacy with other local governments through Climate Emergency Australia to
provide a collective voice for strong action on climate change. An advocacy and community
mobilisation plan will be prepared to establish positions on a range of state and federal issues
and to help support local community groups to develop their own climate advocacy programs
for promoting positive climate action across the different sectors of the Sunshine Coast.
A climate change community reference group will be established to guide and provide advice
on the implementation of the Climate Change Response Plan. As part of this, Council will
continue to collaborate with local community groups and business associations through the
existing Zero Emissions Noosa Memorandum of Understanding.
Strengthening regional partnerships and collaborating across neighbouring councils to identify
and respond to common climate risks and to build a low carbon economy will also bring
important regional benefits.

Noosa Climate Change Response Plan
Theme 2:
Energy efficiency and renewable energy
Why this is important
Stationary Energy comprises 58% of Noosa Shire’s emissions profile. Emissions from stationary
energy are predominantly from electricity generated from coal fired power stations and small
amounts from natural and liquified petroleum gas (LPG). Reducing emissions from stationary
energy includes improving energy efficiency, reducing energy demand and switching to
renewable energy supply.
It has been estimated that $77 million per year leaves the shire to pay for electricity generated
elsewhere. The renewable energy revolution is underway and the costs of renewable energy
continue to fall. Transitioning to renewable energy across the shire will significantly reduce
emissions and costs to Council, households and businesses. This is also a significant
opportunity for business development, economic growth and employment within Noosa.
Renters and low-income households are often locked out of the transition to renewable
energy and options to reduce energy demand such as more energy efficient appliances. It is
important that the programs to reduce electricity demand and the take up of renewable energy
is inclusive of this sector. Improving the energy efficiency of homes has co-benefits of freeing
up capital to be used on other essential expenses and makes homes more resilient to the
impacts of climate change such as increased heat.
How we’ll achieve this
Council is responsible for its own buildings and facilities including those buildings that are
leased to commercial or community tenants. Emissions from these buildings can be reduced
by reducing demand, improving energy efficiency, and switching to renewable energy sources.
To this end, Council will continue to invest in its own buildings and facilities to reduce emissions
from stationary energy and encourage tenants to improve energy efficiency and take up of
renewables through their leasing arrangements, grant opportunities and education.
Council will also support and assist the greater Noosa community to improve energy efficiency
and make the switch to renewable energy through education; facilitating the uptake of
renewable energy solutions via grants and expert advice; enabling access to energy solutions
to vulnerable residents of our community; and showcasing the positive actions of those within
the community that are reducing emissions from stationary energy.
Council will undertake further analyses of the options available to achieve 100% renewable
energy for Noosa Shire.
Page 29
Section 30

ensure the transition is inclusive of low income and vulnerable residents and
businesses, including strata tenants
2.2 Pursue energy efficiency and renewable energy measures within Council and for
Council owned buildings
2.3 Develop a climate aware and empowered community for reducing climate risks and
emissions
Specific actions for implementation through this Climate Change Response Plan are
identified in the Summary of Actions.
Targets
By 2026, all Council facilities will be powered by 100% renewable energy/
net zero emissions energy
By 2026 Noosa Shire is powered by 100% renewable energy/net zero
emissions energy
By 2026, community awareness and empowerment to reduce emissions
from stationary energy is increased.
Metrics
• kW of renewable energy within the Noosa community
• kW of renewable energy generated for Council operations
• Number of Council facilities powered by 100% /net zero renewable energy
• Number of households completing energy audits
• Number of community alliance grants provided for climate change initiatives
• % of households powered by renewable energy
• % of businesses powered by renewable energy

regional basis to make renewable energy available to the Noosa Shire.
Page 30
Section 31
Noosa Climate Change Response Plan
Theme 3: Clean low emissions industries
Why this is important
Economic recovery post COVID-19 brings opportunities for industry and governments to
invest in initiatives that create clean low emissions jobs and set communities up for the future
- a recovery that supports the environmental industries sector1 and tackles the challenges of
climate change. The actions we take now must create an economic environment for innovation
where new technology and industries form part of the climate change solution and help make
communities more resilient and sustainable.
Noosa is in a unique and opportune position to leverage its clean green brand to attract and
drive investment in clean low emissions industries and to showcase best practice sustainability
and climate solutions. This means aligning economic activity and tourism promotion with the
vision of making Noosa the preferred destination for clean, green business investment and
clean tech industries.
This also includes supporting local businesses to be more sustainable through encouraging
decarbonisation, energy efficiency upgrades, and waste minimisation.
How we’ll achieve this
Council will help create a strong, clean economy for Noosa by exploring opportunities and
barriers to developing the environmental industries sector, through the development of
Council’s revised Economic Strategy (local economic plan). This will improve understanding
of how best to grow environmental industries in Noosa that are high impact (create jobs and
diversify the economy), leverage existing investment, are targeted for beneficial change, and
are timely for rapid job creation and economic recovery.
Council will actively work with local businesses to encourage participation in programs that
improve energy efficiency and sustainability, in partnership with Tourism Noosa, ZEN Inc and
other community groups.
1
Environmental industries consist of companies and organisations which carry out economic activities aimed at
protecting the environment and managing natural resources, including waste management, wastewater treatment,
limiting noise nuisance, correcting environmental damage, and production of cleaner technology products and
services, such as production of renewable energy, electric transport and energy saving activities.
Page 31
Section 32
Noosa Shire Council
Strategic Priorities

3.1 Through targeted initiatives, create an environment that supports business
development, innovation and investment shift to clean, green low emission
industries and technology
3.2 Work with industry, business associations and government agencies to
facilitate emissions reduction and environmental sustainability for local businesses
Specific actions for implementation through this Climate Change Response Plan are identified in the
Summary of Actions.
Targets
By 2026, the number of businesses in the environmental industries sector
has increased
By 2026, the energy efficiency and ecological sustainability of business in
Noosa has increased
Metrics
• No. of businesses in the environmental industries sector ((2021 baseline)
• No. of businesses participating in energy efficiency and sustainability
programs
Partnerships
Council partners with a number of industry and community groups to
diversity and grow a strong and clean economy including Cleantech
Sunshine Coast, Tourism Noosa, Food and Agri-business Network.
A collaborative approach to climate action and environmental industry
development will help with sharing knowledge, making efficient use of resources, reducing
duplication of effort/costs, scaling up successful local projects, and attracting partners and funding.
Council will pursue and develop regional partnerships to drive low emissions industry investment for
the broader Sunshine Coast region and beyond.

Section 33
Noosa Climate Change Response Plan
Theme 4: Sustainable Transport
Why this is important
Transport is the second largest source of emissions in Noosa Shire and is responsible for
33% of our community emissions. Moving towards sustainable transport will bring huge
benefits for emissions reduction. This means reducing reliance on car travel in Noosa,
switching to low/zero-emissions vehicles, increasing uptake of active transport like walking and
cycling, improved pathway connectivity, adopting zero carbon public transport systems, and
supporting working from home and home-based businesses.
These changes will provide broad-ranging benefits including more convenient ways for locals
and visitors to travel, reduced congestion, improved health and wellbeing for individuals, and
job creation opportunities. Sustainable transport will also contribute to Noosa’s reputation as a
sustainable, clean, green destination by reducing fossil fuel use and keeping up with changing
technology.
How we’ll achieve this
Council is responsible for local roads and public parking and sets carparking design
requirements for new developments. Public buses are run by the State Government
Department of Transport through TransLink. A number of private bus companies provide
customer specific transport services to and within the shire. Addressing the barriers to the take
up of active transport and public transport due to high dependency on private vehicles and
Noosa’s dispersed settlement pattern is a key challenge. Climate change makes the task all
the more urgent.
Through the Noosa Shire Transport Strategy and the Walking and Cycling Plan, Council is
accelerating public and active transport investment and take-up by:
• Encouraging a modal shift away from private car use towards active transport modes
and public transport through behaviour change programs and improved pathways and
connections
• Addressing the transport emissions of over 2 million visitors to Noosa per year through
consultation with relevant stakeholders to establish parking controls and public transport
alternatives
• Increasing public transport use through improved services and increased bus services to
the hinterland
• Partnering with government agencies and transport providers to explore and enable the
replacement of diesel buses with electric/zero emission buses in Noosa
• Partnering with transport providers to explore and enable the uptake of electric bikes and
personal mobility devices
• Increasing parking management controls in congested areas through timed and paid
parking through timed and paid parking, with revenue to go towards sustainable transport
• Expanding the pathway network in urban and hinterland areas
• Rolling out electric vehicle charging stations at major Noosa destinations
• Amending the Noosa Plan 2020 to include requirements for new multi-residential and non-
residential developments for carparking areas to be ‘EV ready’.
Page 33
Section 34
Noosa Shire Council
Council’s fleet emissions are less than 2% of total Council emissions. Transitioning Council’s fleet
to zero-emissions vehicles where fit-for purpose demonstrates leadership to the community but has
an insignificant impact on Council’s overall emissions. Also needed is ongoing behaviour change
programs aimed at encouraging staff to walk, cycle, use public transport, scooter and carpool to
work by promoting the multiple health and environmental benefits.
Strategic Priorities
The following strategic priorities are identified for Sustainable Transport:
4.1 Accelerate public and active transport infrastructure investment and
community usage through the implementation of Council’s Transport
Strategy and Walking and Cycling Plan.
4.2 Transition Council and the community to sustainable transport use and zero-emissions vehicles.
Specific actions for implementation through this Climate Change Response Plan are identified in the
Summary of Actions.
Targets
By 2026, electric vehicle charging stations will be installed at all major
Noosa destinations to support the transition to EVs
By 2026, public transport services in Noosa have improved and meets
minimum standards from the Transport Operations Act.
Metrics
· % modal shift to walking and cycling in key urban areas and in hinterland towns
· % increase of children walking and riding to school and using school buses
· % increase in electric micro-mobility devices/e-wheeling devices (e-bikes,
e-scooter, e-skateboards etc.) in use by residents and visitors
· % increase in public transport use
· % increase in electric vehicle ownership
· kms of sealed cycling and walking pathways
· Number of staff that participate in walk/cycle-to-work day
· Number of EV charging stations in Noosa Shire for vehicles and e-bikes
· Electric vehicle infrastructure factored into development requirements
eg. for multi residential and non-residential developments
Partnerships
Accelerating sustainable transport requires strong advocacy and partnerships
with government agencies and transport providers including Translink to future
proof Noosa and connect communities. Council will continue to work with other
community partners such as ZEN Inc, Tourism Noosa, Electric Vehicle Council
and universities to help drive positive change and implement zero emissions transport solutions.

Section 35
Noosa Climate Change Response Plan
Theme 5: Healthy and resilient natural
systems and carbon sequestration
Why this is important
Climate change will impact biodiversity, water resources and natural systems in many ways.
Restoring ecosystems also present huge opportunities to remove greenhouse gases from
the atmosphere, create jobs, support tourism, increase resilience of our native ecosystems,
improve health and wellbeing through recreation and connection with nature, and improve
heat-related impacts in our urban areas.
Changing temperature and rainfall trends and increasing risks of extreme weather events are
creating significant impacts for Noosa’s biodiversity and natural systems that will exacerbate
existing threats. These changes are already being observed in the natural environment.
Bushfires made worse by dry conditions across parts of Noosa Shire in the 2019/20 summer
had devastating consequences for local ecosystems and highlighted the vulnerability of these
natural assets.
Vegetation, soil and oceans are vital ‘sinks’ for absorbing greenhouse gases from the
atmosphere and storing them long term. Establishing restoration plantings to offset corporate
carbon emissions or to compensate for vegetated cleared elsewhere has broad ranging
benefits for the environment and for businesses and community groups that may partner in the
restoration efforts.
How we’ll achieve this
The Noosa Environment Strategy addresses many of the threats and impacts to biodiversity
and natural systems arising from the Climate Emergency. A range of initiatives are underway to
increase habitat, landscape connectivity, riparian buffers and ecosystem health.
Council will continue to build on this and improve vegetation and bushfire management
practices to address climate risks, as well as take-up opportunities for maximising carbon
drawdown through tree planting and ‘blue carbon’ restoration initiatives. This includes
increasing revegetation and ecosystems restoration around waterways and along connecting
habitat areas. Enhancing tree canopy cover in urban areas will be important for reducing urban
heat stress, increasing carbon drawdown, and reducing energy needed to keep internal and
external building spaces cool. A further initiative includes converting gardens to more drought
tolerant native gardens to reduce plant loss, and irrigation needs, increase habitat and food
for local wildlife. The development of a Coastal Foreshore Management Plan will provide
for a dedicated program of foredune restoration and management in partnership with local
bushcare groups. The Nature Conservancy (TNC) in partnership with Noosa Council continue
to investigate opportunities for seagrass restoration in the Noosa River.
Page 35
Section 36
Noosa Shire Council
Strategic Priorities
The following strategic priorities are identified for this theme:
5.1 Increase revegetation, ecosystems restoration and urban greening to increase
carbon drawdown, reduce urban heating and support ecosystem and species
resilience
5.2 Optimise use and management of water resources through integrated water cycle
management including for drinking water, recycled water, surface water and groundwater
Specific actions for implementation through this Climate Change Response Plan are identified in the
Summary of Actions.
Targets
Environment Strategy target: By 2030, half of all land in Noosa Shire is
managed for its environmental values (% in 2020)
By 2030, 50% of mapped riparian buffers along waterways have vegetation
coverage (42% in 2018)
By 2030, vegetation will be in place to increase canopy cover and shade
to 45% of public open spaces in urban environments
Metrics
• % urban canopy cover
• % change in estimated annual carbon drawdown by Noosa vegetation
• % of Noosa Shire managed for its environmental values
• % of mapped riparian buffers along waterways that have vegetation coverage (42% in 2018)
• No. Land for Wildlife properties and Voluntary Conservation Agreements
• Recycled water connections or uses in Noosa Shire
Partnerships
Extensive community effort is directed towards protecting, maintaining, and
restoring our natural environments. Many environment groups are actively
involved in caring for Noosa’s bushlands, wildlife, coasts and waterways,
including hundreds of volunteers.
There are important benefits in greater collaboration between property owners,
governments, community groups, businesses and infrastructure providers - working together to
improve the resilient of natural areas in the face of warmer and drier conditions.
Page 36
Section 37
Noosa Climate Change Response Plan
Theme 6:
Sustainable agriculture and food systems
Why this is important
Local agricultural systems in Noosa are generally small-scale but diverse. Cattle grazing is the
largest subsector in the shire and a variety of small to medium-scale horticultural crops are
also spread across the region including macadamia nuts, coffee, and a mix of various fruit and
vegetables. Short value chains for local food are growing with an increasing number of growers
marketing direct to the public through farmers markets or providing produce to local restaurants. In
2018/19 the local agricultural industry added $49.7 million to the local economy, or 2.2% of the total
gross regional product (GRP) while employing 1.4% of Noosa’s workforce (economy.id 2020).
Changing temperature and rainfall trends and increasing risks of extreme weather events are
creating significant hazards for Queensland’s agriculture sector that will escalate and exacerbate
existing risks that farm businesses already face. This will impact on food security for Queensland
and the nation.
Changing climate also brings opportunities. For example, vegetable growers producing summer
crops may have the additional option of planting earlier, and later, therefore extending the
production season. Runoff from higher intensity rainfall events may, with careful planning and
adequate infrastructure, provide opportunities for growers to capture more water for irrigation.
As a community, we can reduce emissions and adapt to climate change by supporting
sustainable regenerative agriculture in Noosa and by encouraging the availability and
consumption of fresh locally produced food.
Changes in climate conditions require constant adapting to remain productive and viable. Early
adoption of climate-smart agricultural practices will put enterprises in the best position to deal
with climate risks and extreme weather. This includes increasing the organic matter in soils to
increase the carbon taken up in the soils. This has added benefits of higher fertility levels, better
water retention and prolonged resistance to drought.
There is also considerable cost savings to be gained by implementing on-farm emission reduction
and there are benefits for income generation for farmers through carbon drawdown practices
such as restoring soil health, planting native trees, and managing livestock.
How we’ll achieve this
The Noosa Environment Strategy addresses the challenges and environmental threats relating
to agriculture in Noosa Shire, as well as opportunities for better managing agricultural areas to
ensure adaptive and sustainable food production that increases agricultural productivity and
protects the natural environment.
Council will investigate opportunities to encourage rural landholders to increase soil carbon
drawdown through sustainable agricultural practices and tree planting. Council will also continue
to support onground actions and education with landholders to improve their capacity to manage
climate risks. Providing support for local food producers to help promote and connect supply
chains to consumers is also a priority to help grow businesses and ensure fresh local food supply.
Page 37
Section 38
Noosa Shire Council
Strategic priorities
The following strategic priorities are identified for this theme:
6.1 Support agri-businesses and landholders to create a sustainable and
regenerative food system that includes consideration and preparation for
climate change risks
6.2 Promote sustainable, locally produced food and improve local food access
for farmers, residents, visitors and vulnerable people
6.3 Support agri-businesses and landholders to reduce their emissions through changes in
farming practices and technology implementation, and to take up opportunities for income
generation through carbon drawdown activities.
Specific actions for implementation through this Climate Change Response Plan are identified in
the Summary of Actions.
Targets
Environment Strategy target: By 2030, 80% of all grazing land achieves
best practice management for agriculture
By 2026, the knowledge and capacity of local food and agribusinesses to
prepare for climate risks and take up carbon reduction opportunities has
increased
Metrics
• Number of farmers participating in on-ground actions through land
management programs
• Number of local producers promoted or accredited as being
‘sustainable’ or an equivalent.
Partnerships
Council will continue to work with the Food and Agri-Business Network,
Regenerative Agriculture Alliance, Country Noosa, Noosa Landcare and other
organisations to improve support for agri-business and encourage take-up of
sustainable agriculture.
Strengthening regional partnerships across councils will provide important
benefits to the broader agricultural industry through increased collaboration and sharing of
knowledge and resources.
The establishment and enhancement of industry networks will allow the continual advancement
of knowledge and sharing of best practice to help move the sector towards a state of
adaptability and sustainability.
Page 38
Section 39
Noosa Climate Change Response Plan
Theme 7: Resilient and adaptive
communities and built environments
Why this is important
Climate change will result in very real impacts on the physical environment, water resources,
health and human services, the local economy and communities. Homes, businesses and
community infrastructure will experience the effects of more extreme weather, bushfires, coastal
hazards, flooding, and heatwaves. These hazards put increased pressure on emergency
services and pose increased risks to people, including from increased vector borne diseases,
mental health, blackouts and power shortages. These impacts are likely to be felt most by those
already vulnerable such as the elderly and low-income earners.
We are already experiencing detrimental changes to our climate and built and natural
environments. These effects will worsen over time.
Adapting to a changing climate involves adjusting to short duration events such as cyclones,
floods and fires, as well as gradual changes such as sea level rise. Community resilience is
the ability to not only cope with the impacts but to adapt and recover. Increasing the resilience
of individuals, businesses and the community requires risk awareness, disaster preparedness,
careful planning and management to help minimise risks and recover and adapt more easily.
Increasing the resilience and adaptive capacity of our communities and the built environment
is about designing places, buildings and infrastructure to be more adaptive and sustainable,
creating more comfortable and safe homes and workplaces, and reduced emissions and
energy costs.
How we’ll achieve this
Council can support the community to increase resilience to climate change through building,
infrastructure and landscape design that is responsive to the subtropical climate, and that is
resource efficient for energy, water and materials, and minimises emissions. The Noosa Plan
2020 planning scheme (including planning scheme policy 5) sets standards for sustainable,
subtropical design. These standards will be built upon to ensure that design outcomes increase
the resilience and comfort of building occupants from climate risks, such as extreme heat.
The development of climate responsive design guidelines will help provide support to the
planning scheme, place making, asset management and infrastructure design. Localised
assessments of climate risk, such as flooding, inundation and urban heat risk, will also help
build understanding of appropriate design responses required for high-risk locations, including
along foreshore areas subject to sea level rise and inundation risks.
Council is responsible for its own capital works program which includes new buildings.
Buildings need to be designed and constructed to meet the 6 Star Green Building Standard
and national standards for carbon neutral buildings.
Page 39
Section 40
Noosa Shire Council
Council seeks to build awareness and preparedness for extreme weather events through disaster
management planning and response, development requirements, and resilient infrastructure
design and delivery. Individuals and households are encouraged to develop and maintain up
to date emergency action plans and Council collaborates with the State government as part of
the Get Ready program. Providing resilient community infrastructure and safe refuge spaces for
extreme weather events that are accessible to all community members is an ongoing priority.
Involving health and family violence experts in emergency planning and response coordination
and ensuring adequate access to health services including mental health and family violence
services is also critical.
Strategic Priorities
The following strategic priorities are identified for this theme:
7.1 Create a resilient built environment for householders, businesses and
vulnerable people, property and infrastructure
7.2 Build Council and community awareness and preparedness for climate
change and extreme weather events
Specific actions for implementation through this Climate Change Response Plan
are identified in the Summary of Actions.

Noosa Shire Council
Theme 8:
Zero waste and circular economy
Why this is important
Our current linear economic model of take-make-waste results in the excess use of resources,
land and water pollution, and vast amount of waste going to landfill once products are no longer
deemed necessary. In a circular economy, raw materials enter a cycle wherein their value is
maintained throughout their life cycle.
Around 79000 tonnes of waste is taken to the Noosa Landfill each year. Of this 48% is reused
or recycled, whilst the rest (41,000 tonnes) is buried in the landfill. Material that is dumped into
landfill is a lost resource and a source of carbon emissions.
When organic matter (food, green waste, paper, etc) is sent to landfill, it is decomposed under
anaerobic conditions. As the organic matter decomposes, it releases methane. Methane is 28
times more potent as a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. Emissions from landfill comprise
over 60% of Council’s corporate emissions and around 9% of the Noosa community emissions.
The degradation of organic waste in landfills is a complex series of chemical and biological
reactions. Landfill gas is currently extracted from the Noosa Landfill, and flared, converting the
methane into carbon dioxide. Methane from landfill gas can also be used to generate electricity.
Landfill conditions, weather conditions, age of the waste and gas extraction equipment
productivity will all affect the methanogenic bacterial action and hence the resultant landfill gas
that is captured.
By moving from a take-make-waste system linear system to the circular economy, resources are
used many times over, the nutrients from organic material are captured, land required for waste
disposal is reduced, and the costs throughout the system overall are lower.
How we’ll achieve this
Council is responsible for the collection and processing of the community’s waste. The landfill
operations and the landfill gas system is managed by Council in partnership with its contractor.
A waste management plan is being developed to determine the most effective management
methods for the collection and processing of waste and the management of the landfill.
Council is also responsible for the generation of waste within its own operations and can
increase demand for recycled products through its own procurement practices.
Council has a role in influencing how the community reduces its waste generation and the
amount of waste ending up in landfill through the provision of appropriate infrastructure such as
bins and collection services and through providing and supporting community waste reduction
education and behaviour change initiatives with businesses and households. As part of this,
Council supports and promotes programs such as Plastic Free Noosa.

riSection 55
Noosa Climate Change Response Plan
Monitoring and evaluation
Monitoring and reporting on progress are critical to understanding the effectiveness of actions and to
ensure delivery of the ambitions and strategic priorities in this plan.
The scale and urgency of the climate emergency means that the Council and the community need
the evaluation of progress to be meaningful, transparent and timely.
A review of progress against the strategic priorities, actions, targets and metrics in this plan will
occur every second year to allow Council and the community to assess plan implementation and the
impact of action taken. Smaller interim annual reviews will also occur to help inform Council budget
processes.
The monitoring and evaluation framework for this CCRP has been designed to help Council and
other project partners to understand what is working and what is not. Our understanding of climate
change is evolving in terms of what makes people, communities and environments vulnerable to
climate impacts, and what to do about it. The monitoring and evaluation is about understanding
change – what has changed, how has it changed and by how much. Understanding how climate
actions are actually reducing vulnerability or reducing emissions or increasing capacity of people
and organization is complex. The process therefore needs to be elastic and inclusive to provide for
adaptability as things emerge and morph.

Section 56
Noosa Shire Council
Community reference forum
Noosa Council will establish a climate change community reference group to strengthen
accountability, transparency, and cooperation. Representatives of the group will be able to discuss
and provide advice on climate change issues, on-ground action, barriers and successes, monitoring
and evaluation, and ongoing program development. This group will be an important component of
plan implementation given that many of the actions in the CCRP require a partnership approach
across a range of sectors. This includes working with community groups that form part of the existing
Zero Emissions Memorandum of Understanding.
Resources and funding
Potential funding sources will be actively pursued to enable ongoing implementation of the CCRP
for both emissions reduction and climate resilience. This includes investigating opportunities for
alternative revenue sources. This could include linking activities that occur locally and that derive
revenue within the community with delivery of real on-ground actions, such as Trees for Tourism in
the hinterland, other funding for urban greening projects, or funding for science-based programs that

DEFINITIONS
Adaptation: Regarding climate change, adaptation is the process of adjustment to actual or
expected climate and its effects. It seeks to moderate or avoid harm or take advantage of beneficial
opportunities.
Carbon drawdown: The removal of carbon from the atmosphere by capturing or storing it through
biological, chemical and physical processes. Also referred to as carbon sequestration.
Circular economy: A closed system in which reuse, recycling and disposal channels are in-build to
consumer and industrial products, to elimination.
Climate: Relates to the average weather over various timescales, including over a period of months up
to millions of years.
Climate Change: is any change in the climate lasting for several decades, including changes in
temperature, rainfall and wind patterns. It refers to the average weather conditions over a period of
30 years or longer. Climate change is different from weather. Weather refers to what you seen and feel
outside from day to day (e.g. sunny, rainy).
Hazard: the potential occurrence of a natural or human-induced event, trend or impact that
may cause damage, including loss to property, infrastructure, livelihoods, service provision, and
ecosystems.
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change: Established by the United Nations, the IPCC is the
leading international body for the assessment of climate change, with representatives from 195
countries.
Mitigation: A human intervention to reduce the sources or enhance the sinks of greenhouse gases.
Resilience: The capacity of social, economic, and environmental systems to cope with a hazardous
event, trend, or disturbance, responding or reorganising in ways that maintain their essential
function, identity, and structure, while also maintaining the capacity for adaptation, learning, and
transformation.
Risk: is the potential for consequences where something of value is at stake and where the
outcome is uncertain, recognising the diversity of values. Risk is often represented as probability
of occurrence of hazardous events (likelihood) multiplied by the impacts (or consequences) should
these events or trends occur.
Water sensitive urban design: A holistic approach to water management that integrates urban design
and planning with social and physical sciences in order to deliver water services and protect aquatic
environments in an urban setting
