    3. Refine language relating to boating and lake access                  to more clearly describe
        the soft -edge treatment and allowance for small, non                -motorised craft.
    4. Strengthen messaging regarding the 25                  -year timeframe , reinforcing that the
        Master Plan is a long -term framework to guide future investment and
        improvements.
    5. Include a concise Living Collections statement or similar                 , to clearly articulate
        the intent, direction and management approach for the botanical collections.



Context (post -Phase 2):
Following the close of Phase 2 engagement, Council received a deputation from the Friends of
Noosa Botanic Gardens regarding the importance of long          -term stewardship and management of
the Gardens’ living collections. While this deputation was not part of th   e formal Phase 2
engagement period, its key points align closely with themes raised consistently through community
feedback and written submissions.


These refinements will improve clarity and communication while maintaining the
integrity of the Draft Master Plan and ensuring its intent is clearly understood by
the community.




Next Steps

Feedback from Phase 2 will inform a set of refinements to the Draft Master Plan
prior to finalisation. The revised plan will be prepared for Council consideration
early in 2026. If endorsed, the Master Plan will provide a 25                -year framework to
guide future funding, prioritisation and the staged implementation of
improvements across the Gardens.

Following Council’s decision, the community will be kept informed through updates
on the Your Say Noosa project page, Council’s website, social media channels and
the Friends of Noosa Botanic Gardens network. As projects progress into design
and delivery, further communication and engagement will occur where
appropriate.
