Risk & Opportunities
A failure to achieve the outcomes set out in the Operational Plan would be problematic. In some
cases, projects may take longer than anticipated to achieve the best outcome. Potential risks
include:
   •   The ambitious priorities within the new Noosa Council Corporate Plan 2023-28 which
       informed the development of the 2024-25 Operational Plan.
   •   The organisation's capacity to deliver the Operational Plan particularly given competing
       priorities, skill shortages and market conditions and the flow on effects to service delivery.
   •   Initiative/Project outcomes may not be realised. The development of the Performance
       Management Framework and the implementation of a new Corporate Performance Reporting
       System will assist in monitoring our performance and support improved decision making.
   •   The development of a Capability Plan is incorporated in the Corporate Plan 2023-28. This
       Plan will consider Council's capacity including systems, finances and workforce
       requirements.
