         Locality Risks and Adaptation Outcomes
Introduction
This section presents the risks and proposed adaptation outcomes for each locality within the
Noosa coastal zone. A summary for each locality is provided covering the likely behaviour of each
coastal hazard – coastal erosion, storm tide inundation, and permanent tidal inundation – likely
effects of each event, any risk mitigation measures already in place, and the proposed adaptation
responses for each. Figure 11 shows the location and name of each locality in this context.

The preferred outcomes and recommended actions for the most at-risk assets for each locality
are identified.

In addition to the locality specific outcomes and actions, there are a range of actions that are
applicable to all or most localities within the coastal zone. These are:

   ➢ Improve the awareness and understanding of coastal hazard risks and adaptation
     measures amongst the Noosa community and other key stakeholders
   ➢ Ensure coastal hazard information is publicly available and understandable
   ➢ Ensure disaster management plans and procedures are considering changes to coastal
     hazard risks where necessary
   ➢ Engage local business owners and operators in understanding what coastal hazard risk
     information may mean for them and how they may contribute to achieving Noosa’s
     adaptation outcomes
   ➢ Assess availability of offshore sand supply for use in beach nourishment, including
     ecological impact of using this resource [beach locations only]
   ➢ Implement relevant actions from Coastal Management Plan once developed [beach
     locations only]
   ➢ Ensure the Noosa Plan 2020 adequately considers natural hazards and accordingly
     appropriately regulates land use and development
   ➢ Environmental acquisitions in high-risk areas are closely considered and/or avoided, and
     are instead made in locations that support long-term resilience of ecological values.
