8.        Appendix 2: Analysis of roundtable outcomes
Background
Articulous facilitated a series of community roundtables to facilitate feedback on the actions outlined in the EBFR plan.
There were three events held:
    • A face-to-face roundtable on March 7;
    • An online roundtable on March 13; and
    • A face-to-face roundtable on March 28.

Objectives
At the beginning of each roundtable, Council gave a presentation to participants on the background of the plan. The facilitator then confirmed
agreement from participants on the proposed agenda items and the scope of the discussions.

The structure of the roundtable discussions was aligned with the community survey, with participants encouraged to provide ideas or insights on the
10 action areas in the EBFR management plan.

Attendees
An expression of interest (EOI) process was used to find a mix of stakeholders and community members to attend roundtable discussions.

Identified stakeholders were directly contacted through email and directly invited to complete an online EOI form. Noosa Council also used their
social media and web channels to promote the roundtables and encourage community members to submit their interest.

There was a total of 29 attendees across the 3 roundtable sessions.
