 Priority 2: Maximise the Benefit of Events for the Noosa Community
 Desired Outcome: Events deliver measurable community, environmental and economic benefits that
 strengthen Noosa's identity, enhance liveability, support local businesses, and create lasting value for
 residents and visitors.

 Council High-Priority Actions:
 1. Strengthen collaboration and storytelling by working with event organisers to better communicate the
     community, environmental and economic benefits delivered through events, highlighting outcomes
     beyond visitor expenditure and economic impact.
 2. Embed sustainability and "leave better" principles into event guidelines, funding programs and
     assessment processes, enabling events to contribute to environmental stewardship, community
     wellbeing and the place-based outcomes envisaged in the Destination Management Plan.
 3. Support local businesses and community organisations to leverage event opportunities by facilitating
    connections with event organisers, supply chains, media exposure and local-buy initiatives that increase
    participation and generate broader local benefits.
 4. Encourage meaningful community participation by promoting volunteer opportunities, partnerships with
     local community groups, cultural organisations and schools, and activities that foster community pride
     and connection.
