NOOSA EVENTS STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK, POLICY, AND GOVERNANCE · Attachment 1 - Noosa Events Strategic Framework

 Priority 3: Actively Manage Event Impacts
 Desired Outcome: Event impacts are well understood, proactively planned for and effectively managed to
 protect community amenity and environmental values, while providing clarity, consistency and greater
 certainty for event organisers.

 Council High-Priority Actions:
 1. Strengthen implementation of the Sustainable Event Guidelines and the 50 Shades of Green Guide,
    ensuring event planning and delivery adopts a continuous improvement approach to appropriately
    address community impacts and sustainability practices, including energy, water and waste
    management, relative to the size, scale and nature of each event.
 2. Establish a consistent, proportionate and timely approach to impact assessment and mitigation
    planning, including earlier stakeholder engagement, clearer approval pathways and improved
    coordination for recurring events. Investigate opportunities for longer-term approvals or multi-year
    agreements for suitable events to provide greater certainty and reduce administrative burden.
 Ongoing Actions:
 • Work with event organisers and relevant stakeholders to investigate and implement traffic, transport and
    congestion management initiatives, particularly in high-demand locations and peak periods.
 • Strengthen monitoring, compliance, event debrief and post-event evaluation processes to support
    continuous improvement and inform future event planning and management.
 • Enhance proactive communication with residents, businesses and event organisers through forward
    event calendars, infrastructure and project updates, and early notification of event-related activities and
    planned disruptions.
