           POLICY BACKGROUND

           The Noosa Shire is strongly focused on a sustainable future and ensuring that our natural environment
           is valued, conserved and enhanced. Community land is a precious part of the environment which is in
           high demand from a range of stakeholders.
           Street performers provide entertainment, cultural diversity and a range of experiences for tourists and
           the local community. The Street Performance Policy and the Street Performance Guidelines provide
           the framework for managing community space performances within nominated locations and allows for
           the contribution of vitality and cultural life. The Policy seeks to balance the benefits of street
           entertainment with the needs of traders, residents and the accessibility of visitors to precincts.
