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.
