                   The NOOSA PLAN 2020 seeks to maintainCouncil'slong standingcommitment to a sustainable population andwell managedgrowth through
                   firm Urban Boundaries, development densities andbuildingheights.
ENVIRONMENT        Unrestrained and unplanned development is resisted in Noosa Shire. Any unanticipated development requires demonstration of a high level of
                   community need (Noosa Plan 3.2.2).


                   Noosa Council Economic Strategies that resonate with the community have been retained in the 2021-2030 strategy
                   o The desire to strive towards a more diversified and resilient local economy focused on knowledge-based and high-value sectors of the

SOCIETY               economy i.e. “value, not volume”.
                   o Achieving growth in ‘smart’ industry sectors that have high economic value and at the same time have low environmental impact, where there
                      is a competitive advantage.
                   o A strong commitment to maintaining and protecting the quality of Noosa’s natural assets as an underlying driver for much of the investment
                      and economic activity in the Shire.

                   To ensurelongerterm sustainable and resilient economic growth it is desirable to broaden the economic structure of the local economy through
ECONOMY            industry diversification. TheLocal Economic Plan aims to do this via growth in the ‘smart’ industry sectors that offer high economic value and low
                   environmental impact
