SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                        7 AUGUST 2018


B.     Authorise the Chief Executive Officer to make any required minor amendments to the
       Strategy prior to its publication; and
C.     Request the Chief Executive Officer to develop an implementation plan to support the
       Social Strategy by 30 April 2016.

Finance
Funding for actions within the Implementation Plan is contained in core budget allocations and
new initiatives across a range of Council Departments and branches.

$100,000 has been specifically allocated in the Community Development Team’s 2018/2019
budget to implement the Social Strategy. This funding will be directed to the following projects:

     Sport and Active Recreation Plan implementation namely the Noosa District and Cooroy
       Sports Complex Master Plan
     Arts, Heritage and Culture Plan implementation
     Community Initiatives:
       -     Initiatives to support volunteers
       -     Youth initiatives
       -     Assisting support services for the homeless including orange sky laundry

External funding, partnerships and strategic alliances with government agencies, businesses,
community groups and individuals will also be sought to achieve the goals identified in the Social
Strategy.

Risks & Opportunities
The cost of implementing the key initiatives in this strategy is beyond the capacity of Council
alone. To this end, Council will be seeking partnerships and strategic alliances with external
agencies, businesses, community groups and individuals to achieve our goals.
