included:

    2. A site visit on the 16th December 2015 with representative local residents and
       members of the Heritage Park Bushland Care Group to discuss the key values of the
       park.

    3. Key stakeholder feedback was sought on the first draft management plan.

    4. Community feedback (will be) was sought on the draft management plan via ‘have
       your say’ on the Noosa Council website.

    5. All feedback (will be) was considered for the final management plan, which (will be)
       was communicated to all key stakeholders.
