has strong linkages through to the present and
into the future. We are embracing the process of
reconciliation, respecting and strengthening our
relationship with Kabi Kabi and facilitating greater
opportunities for First Nations peoples.

Noosa is a high-profile visitor destination.
Balancing the needs and quality of life of
residents while sustaining our tourism sector so
that the two can comfortably co-exist is critical.
To guide this success, a Destination Management
Plan will be developed to provide clear plans that
have community and the liveability of place at its
centre and will define stakeholder roles and the
allocation of resources.

In the face of unprecedented levels of social
and environmental change, Council will have a
renewed focus on building the resilience of the
community and the infrastructure that supports
it. The community’s strong sense of place and
participation has helped us thrive in the face of
adversity in the past. Understanding our future,
the opportunities and challenges we may face
and having strategies in place to respond, will be
key to enhancing our agility and resilience as an
organisation and as a community.

Strengthening community awareness and
preparedness for climate change and extreme
weather events and transitioning the Shire to a
low-carbon way of life is a priority focus during
the life of this plan.

A contemporary approach to providing services
and opportunities for our youth is an essential
component of building a family-friendly shire.
With our increasingly ageing population, creating
the conditions that retain and attract young
people to Noosa will help foster a pipeline
of people entering the local workforce and
contributing within our community.
