                                                              from home and access goods and services over the internet;
The Noosa Plan



                                                       vii    telecommunication towers and other installations not locating in visually
                                                              prominent locations;

                                                       viii   recognising some residents obtain their energy needs from renewable
                                                              energy sources rather than relying on mains power; and

                                                       ix     ensuring water and energy are used efficiently in an attempt to reduce
                                                              greenhouse gas emissions and pressures on the supply of resources.



                                                              Community implications of Infrastructure & Services

                                                              Coastal urban residents and visitors expect a certain level of infrastructure and
                                                              servicing, which includes power, telecommunications, garbage collection, running
                                                              water and flush toilets.

                                                              Many rural households are not connected to municipal water or sewerage. In
                                                              these cases innovative, environmentally sensitive approaches to water collection
                                                              and effluent disposal may be employed.

                                                              Most residents, particularly those in urban areas, have access to kerbside
                                                              recycling. For the balance there is opportunity to separate recyclable waste at
                                                              their local tip.

                                                              Broadband telecommunications infrastructure allows people to work and study
                                                              from home and access goods and services over the Internet.

                                                              While telecommunication facilities are very important, towers and other
                                                              installations are not located in visually prominent locations.

                                                              Some residents get their energy needs from renewable energy sources rather
                                                              than relying on mains power

                                                              Water and energy are used efficiently in an attempt to minimise greenhouse gas
                                                              emissions and ensure the sustained supply of resources.
