The preparation of the Monitoring Report was funded from within current budgets.
Amendments to NP2020 arising from the recommendations in the report will be funded through
existing staffing and project budgets.
Risks & Opportunities
Preparation of the Monitoring Report and it’s submission to the Minister is a condition of approval
for Noosa Plan 2020. Monitoring of the provisions of NP2020 over the last 2 years has provided
Council with the background information and evidence to support making amendments to NP2020
regarding STA.
Should Council not support the recommendations of the report regarding the safeguarding of land
for permanent housing against further growth in STA, there is a current and long term risk to the
housing market, economy and community.
