REPORT
1                        Introduction
As Council will recall, in 2016 we undertook an extensive planning process to develop our current
Corporate Plan. A Corporate Plan is the Council's overarching planning document which guides
long-term decision-making. The process to develop our Corporate Plan included:
 A series of Council workshops facilitated by futurist Steve Gould;
 Input from the Executive Team and Managers;
 Feedback from the community via Council’s community engagement platform, Your Say
    Noosa;
 Feedback from Council staff (including the specific wording for Council values); and
 Development of a long-term vision – “Noosa Shire – Different by Nature”.

Following community consultation, the current Corporate Plan was adopted by Council on 19
January 2017. The Corporate Plan contains 5 key themes which identify both long-term goals
(20 years) plus short-term key focus areas (5 years). The 5 themes are:
1.    The Noosa Environment
2.    The Noosa Community
3.    The Noosa Economy
4.    Long term planning for Noosa Shire
5.    Excellence as a Council

Council's Operational Plan (which is adopted each year as part of Council’s budget process)
uses these 5 themes to identify key projects that will advance the achievement of our Corporate
Plan goals. This ensures alignment between our long-term planning as set out in the Corporate
Plan and our short-term projects/resources as set out in our Operational Plan and Budget.
