                    guided by the following overarching Sustainability Principles:

                    1. Resources are stustainably managed so that the lifestyle of the community is
                       preserved, without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own
                       needs.

                    2. Noosa’s economy is prosperous, diverse and protective of its unique environment.

                    3. Noosa residents belong to a community that values its diversity, accessibility and
                       affordability.

                    4. Noosa’s community is inclusive, connected and resilient and it encourages
                       participation and information sharing.

                    5. Noosa’s community benefits from quality places and programs that enhance
                       wellbeing and support creative, active and healthy lifestyles.

                    6. Good governance is achieved through effective and efficient decision-making, with
                       decisions being made in the best interests of the community.
