            2015                           relevant to on-ground works within the reserves but also provide potential
                                           opportunity for additional financial resourcing for on-ground works.
            South East Queensland          The SEQ NRM plan provides actions and targets relevant to natural bushland
            Natural Resource               across the SEQ region. Actions contained within the plan are both relevant to
            Management (SEQ NRM)           on-ground works within the reserves but also provide potential opportunity for
            Plan 2014 —2031                additional financial resourcing for on-ground works.
            Noosa Council Corporate        The Corporate Plan has set a 20 year goal for environmental outcomes and
            Plan 2017-2037                 has set a 5 year goal for actions within Key Focus Areas. One goal is to
                                           develop the Environment Strategy and Subordinate plans and strategies.
            Noosa Council                  The Environment Strategy provides the overarching guidance for the
            Environment Strategy           development and implementation of a broad range of environment-related
            2019                           plans that contain many of the detailed actions, responsibilities and
                                           timeframes for delivery.
            Noosa Cultural Plan 2019       The Noosa Cultural Plan identified Indigenous Cultural Heritage as a priority
            - 2023                         focus area stating that Council will work with Kabi Kabi/Gubbi Gubbi first
                                           nation’s people to increase the awareness and understanding of our local
                                           indigenous cultural heritage. The Bushland Reserve Strategic Plan contains
                                           an objective stating the above.
            Noosa Council                  The Environment Levy Policy outlines the environmental and administrative
            Environment Levy Policy        principles that will provide direction for the allocation of Environment Levy
            20198                          funds by Council. This has strong integration with the Bushland Reserve
                                           Strategic Management Plan with land acquisition and Environmental Grants
                                           program initiatives.
            Noosa Council Open             Whilst not an Action Plan, the Study has strong links and integration with the
            Space Study 2017               Bushland Reserves Strategic Management Plan and is the guiding document
                                           for the generation of new reserves through the auditing and development
                                           assessment process.
            Noosa Local Government         The Biosecurity Plan contains Noosa Council’s strategic actions for the
            Area Draft Biosecurity         management of high priority pest plants and animals within the Noosa Shire
            Plan 2019-2024                 Area.

                                           Several Actions with direct application to the Noosa Bushland Reserves
                                           Strategic Management Plan exist within the Plan. Relevant priorities,
                                           objectives and actions have been directly integrated into the Plan Actions
                                           listed in Section 10 of this Plan.
            Climate Change                 The Climate Change Response Plan identifies healthy and resilient natural
            Response Plan                  systems and carbon sequestration as a theme and strategic priority.
            Noosa Bushland Reserve         The Noosa Bushland Reserve Strategic Fire Management Plan has identified
            Strategic Fire                 priority reserves based on a risk assessment basis. This document refines
            Management Plan                priorities and resources for specific fire management activities. While this
                                           plan is relevant, an alternate fire management planning arrangement is
                                           recommended within this plan moving forward.
            Noosa Shire Koala              The Noosa Shire Koala Conservation Plan identified a number of actions that
            Conservation Plan 2016         have direct implementation within the bushland reserve network planning and
                                           implementation process.
            Noosa Coastal Hazards          The Noosa Coastal Hazards Adaptation Plan is a subset plan from the
            Adaptation Plan                Climate Change Response Plan. This plan identifies areas impacted by
                                           Storm Tide inundation and Sea Level Rise
            Tree Management on             This policy applies to all Council public land including parks, road reserves
            Public Land Policy 2018        and other council owned land including community facilities. The policy
                                           states: i) Trees are valuable assets and must be managed accordingly; ii)
                                           Council maintains a general commitment to the sustainable management of
                                           trees on public land and also the greening of open space; and iii)
                                           Unavoidable removal of trees from public land may be offset with planting to
                                           ensure there is no net loss of trees on Council controlled land.
                                           Offset Sites are likely to be within the Bushland Reserve Network.
