NOOSA BOTANIC GARDENS MASTERPLAN · Attachment 1. Noosa Botanical Gardens Masterplan_683_SD_LR002_E - Final Plan

Dog walking and pet access emerged as a specific topic of interest, with
respondents seeking clarity and continuity:
“You don’t mention dogs at all… this will need to continue without any future restrictions.”


Finally, a small number of respondents highlighted opportunities for cultural
learning and deeper community involvement, including partnerships and Kabi Kabi
interpretation.

Overall, the feedback reinforces that improvements must be carefully balanced.
The community wants a Master Plan that strengthens botanical care, enhances
comfort and accessibility, and supports gentle learning and recreation, while
protecting the quiet, n ature -based character that defines the Noosa Botanic
Gardens.




Question 6: What are the primary reasons you visit, or would visit, the Noosa
Botanic Gardens? (Select all that apply)

To align with the Phase 1 survey and build a clearer picture of how the community
uses the Noosa Botanic Gardens, respondents were asked to identify their primary
reasons for visiting. This question helps the project team understand the activities
and expe riences that matter most, ensuring the Master Plan reflects real use
patterns and protects the qualities people value.

The data shows that people are primarily drawn to the Gardens for their natural
ambience and botanical character. The strongest motivations, enjoying the
atmosphere and viewing horticultural displays, were selected by almost two                     -thirds
of respondents, conf irming that the Gardens’ peaceful setting and plant collections
are central to the visitor experience.
