 2019 Themes
                                  B. Priority ecosystem areas in Council’s bushland reserves are enhanced and managed to be responsive to changing environmental
                                  conditions.

                                  D. Ecological linkages and connecting habitat areas are improved and rehabilitated to increase landscape connectivity and species resilience.
 Biodiversity
                                  E. Community conservation partnerships on public and private land are developed to deliver successful biodiversity conservation outcomes.

                                  F. Terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, as well as fauna and flora species, are protected from significant human impacts.

                                  B. Aquatic biodiversity is improved through the preservation and enhancement of diverse instream, riparian and wetland habitats.

                                  D. Waterways, wetlands and coastal environments are protected, managed and maintained in their natural state, and are enhanced to
 Waterways, wetlands and coasts   support healthy and diverse ecosystems.

                                  H. The impacts of human use are carefully managed to protect ecosystem health and visual amenity, as well as to ensure the sustainable use
                                  of waterways and foreshores for residents, visitors and commercial operators.

                                  A. Council and community greenhouse gas emissions are avoided, reduced and offset through strong Council leadership, pursuit of multiple

                                  benefits and effective actions that are prioritised by impact.

                                  A. The Noosa Council and Noosa community are better prepared for natural hazards and climate change through identification and mapping
                                  of natural hazards, proactive planning, risk reduction and information sharing.

                                  B. Noosa’s natural environment is prepared for climate change through the maintenance, restoration and increase of healthy, well-

                                  D. Risk assessments, climate adaptation and disaster management are well integrated and use best available information to inform decision-

                                  F. Understanding of likely responses of biodiversity and ecosystems to climate change is improved over time and management programs are
                                  adjusted where necessary.
