                                                                             Sport and Active Recreation Plan


OUTCOMES

The process to develop the Noosa Cultural Plan has highlighted the difficulty of evaluating the health
or state of the cultural sector. Data is difficult to obtain, often deficient and frequently not relevant to a
local level. Council will work with stakeholders to review how we measure the performance of the local
cultural sector to provide more accurate, effective data.

The Noosa Cultural Plan outlines a wide range of strategies and actions designed to grow and develop
the arts, cultural and heritage sectors. Important to the long-term success of these strategies is their
ongoing evaluation to measure their success or otherwise, and modify future actions accordingly.

Individual actions will have their own relevant measures of success however broadly the Cultural Plan
aims to achieve:

•      Increased use of cultural venues and facilities

•      Increased number of new participants in cultural activities

•      Increased number of cultural activities occurring in non-traditional spaces

•      Increased participation by young people in creative activities outside of formal education

•      Higher satisfaction levels within arts, culture and heritage sector

•      Improved perception of Noosa as a cultural destination with visitors

•      Improved sustainability of community organisations in arts, cultural and heritage sectors

•      Increased growth of people employed in cultural and creative sectors

•      Improved awareness of Indigenous cultural heritage
