Corporate Governance
Good governance is at the heart of everything we do at Council and ensures the community has trust
and confidence in the decisions we make. The Noosa Council Governance framework consists of
rules, relationships, systems and processes within and by which authority is exercised and decisions
are made and actioned to optimise Council’s performance to achieve its objectives. Council is
currently reviewing its Corporate Governance Framework to strengthen, promote and enhance good
governance practices in Council.


Enterprise Risk Management
Council manages risks and opportunities within a context of competing resources, financial and
community priorities. It recognises that innovation involves risks, but also provides opportunities to
create new ways to benefit the community and achieve its objectives.
Council’s Enterprise Risk and Opportunity Management Framework is an organisation-wide
commitment to foster innovation and enable opportunities within the context of identifying, managing
and monitoring the internal and external risks that may impact the delivery of its strategies, services
and projects. In alignment with the international standard for risk management – AS/NZS ISO
31000:2018, Council is undertaking continuous improvement in this area through further developing
its Enterprise Risk and Opportunity Management Policy, Framework and Guidelines. Risk and
opportunity management is considered part of normal business activity and is becoming more deeply
embedded through Council’s plans and strategies, service delivery and projects.
