8.    PUBLIC QUESTION TIME

8.1   PUBLIC QUESTION TIME APPLICANT: HAYLEY HASS
      Question 1
      What measurable outcomes, targets and key performance indicators does Noosa
      Council use to assess the effectiveness of its Climate Emergency declaration and the
      expenditure incurred in delivering associated climate change, climate resilience,
      sustainability and emissions reduction activities, including Councils Carbon Reduction
      Project Officer?

      Response provided by Director Strategy & Environment, Kim Rawlings
      Thank you for your question.
      Since declaring a climate emergency in 2019, Noosa Council has endorsed a Climate
      Change Response Plan and a Coastal Hazards Adaptation Plan, as well as supported
      the Regional Climate Action Roadmap developed in partnership with Sunshine Coast
      Council. Each of these plans contain a range of strategic priorities, targets, adaptation
      outcomes, and actions that Council uses to measure progress in responding to growing
      climate change risks. In addition, Council’s Corporate Plan 2023-2028 includes
      key objectives, projects and performance measures related to climate change
      response. This includes both measuring emissions reduction and efforts to build
      resilience. Progress in delivering Council’s Corporate Plan is reported on annually.

                                                                                   Page 3 of 21
