 Noosa 2.0 Corporate Plan 2023-2028            A coastal management plan is a Operational Plan
 Operational Plan 2022-2023                    2022-2023 goal.
 Noosa Council Environment Strategy            The social and environmental values of coastal
 2019                                          ecosystems are recognised and several targets
                                               and outcomes require them to be protected and
                                               enhanced.
 Noosa Biodiversity Plan: Biodiversity         Outlines the current and likely future state of
 Assessment Report 2016                        biodiversity in Noosa Shire and identifies dune
                                               ecosystems as being both at risk and having
                                               significant values.
 Noosa Cultural Plan 2019 – 2023               Identifies working with Kabi Kabi (Gubbi Gubbi) to

 Noosa Climate Change Response Plan            Identifies healthy and resilient natural systems as
                                               strategic priority, and specifically identifies the
                                               need to develop a coastal management plan for
                                               dune management and ecological restoration and
                                               partnerships.

 2021                                          erosion, storm tide and gradual sea level rise and
                                               identifies nature-based solutions as the preferred
                                               adaptation response to likely impacts. Includes a

                                               revegetation, augmentation and management to
                                               maximise benefits of coastal foreshores for both
