reliance on public funding and ongoing marketing of Noosa in the face of growing impacts from
tourism. While the measures outlined in this report represent an initial step, they seek to provide a
balanced, equitable and reasonable framework for managing complex and evolving issues around
destination management. This approach ensures adequate time for effective collaboration, the
development of a clear roadmap without jeopardising Noosa’s brand reputation and the local tourism
economy, which many residents depend on for their livelihoods and essential services.

Tourism Noosa are a mature local tourism organisation with strong local, national and international
connections and robust channels to market, developed over many years. They are highly regarded
amongst their networks and have been very successful in upholding Noosa’s brand as an iconic
destination. It will be important for Council to work with TN over the coming 6 months to ensure a
clear roadmap is developed and agreed addressing the range of matters outlined in this report.
