ISSUES NOT RELEVANT TO THE PLANNING SCHEME
Shire Wide         Biosphere is excellent but don't forget "community" is the focus ie people as individuals and as a
                   group
Shire Wide         Include the following additional outcomes in the Discussion Paper.
                   Outcome: Noosa Shire and the Noosa Biosphere Reserve have a clear and consistent set of
                   definitions and metrics, which are widely adopted by community groups, the private sector and
                   the Noosa Council to set targets, monitor change and identify successful outcomes. Definition
                   should include biodiversity, ecosystems, ecological resilience, adaptive capacity, sustainable
                   development, sustainable living etc.
                   Outcome: Urban metabolism and Waste and Resource Management. Support initiatives in line
                   with waste management hierarchy and include the outcomes of the waste management jury in
                   the New Noosa Plan. Include waste reduction targets for households and business across the
                   Shire.
                   Consider reducing the impact of embedded energy as a result of food and lifestyle choices, by
                   encouraging local consumers to cut food miles and supporting sustainable producers of local
                   food and 'slow food' producers.
