                                               There are seven key priorities outlined in the Corporate
                                               Plan, with the two most relevant to management of
                                               reserves and parks being:
                                               Community engagement and communication – Council will
                                               involve the community in decision making on key issues
                                               affecting the future of Noosa.

                                               continue to apply best practice to its custodianship to
                                               Noosa’s natural environment aiming to enhance local
                                               biodiversity for the benefit of future generations.
