2020-02-11 P&E Agenda - Item 5 - Attachment 2 - Draft Noosa Biosecurity Plan 2020

The Noosa Environment Strategy 2019 also identifies specific activities or projects to help meet the above targets. The activities/projects relevant that
guide the Noosa Biosecurity Plan 2020 are shown below.

 Reference        Activity/Project

 1                Undertake environmental restoration activities throughout Council’s conservation reserves. Prepare Bushland Operational
                  Assessments (BOAs) for Council reserves to monitor the success of work.

 2                Reduce the threat of priority biosecurity risks, such as pest plants and animals, on Council land and support private landholders to
                  do the same.

 3                Support private landholders to achieve environment outcomes on their property through an expanded Land for Wildlife and
                  Voluntary Conservation Agreement Program.

 4                Undertake an urban environmental education program to improve environmental outcomes for urban wildlife in strategic locations

 5                Scope and undertake monitoring programs on populations of 6-8 key representative threatened species, to mitigate against local
                  extinctions.

 6                Implement propagation programs that grow threatened plant species and result in new populations at appropriate, low-risk
                  locations

 7                Undertake targeted wild dog control in key Koala Habitat Areas as identified in Koala Threat Mapping.

 8                Implement an Eastern Beaches dune rehabilitation program to improve the condition, species diversity and stability of dune
                  ecosystems and enhance resilience to climate change.

 9                Support on-ground actions with landholders that improve environmental, economic and social outcomes on rural properties
                  throughout Noosa while contributing to long-term sustainability of rural landscapes in the Shire.
