        achieve life-long physical and mental health benefits.”


        3.   Principles for Sport and Active Recreation Development and
             Planning in Noosa
         As a community we aim to provide the opportunities for all residents in the Shire to be
         physically active. Council will work collaboratively with sport and active recreation
         operators and other levels of government to provide the best outcomes for our residents.
         Principles that reflect the sentiment and aspirations of the residents of the Shire have
         emerged from this Plan’s consultation process. These principles are intended to guide
         future planning.
         Principle 1 – Participation: Noosa’s priority is to provide for grass roots participation in a
         wide variety of sport and active recreation activities.
         Principle 2 – Quality outcomes: Our aim is for NFP clubs and commercial operators to
         have good governance practices and provide quality facilities. Our coaches, instructors,
         administrators and trainers are suitably qualified for best practice delivery of their sport or
         activity.
         Principle 3 – Choice: Residents have choice over the activities they participate in and who
         provides those activities to them. Our facilities and public spaces will encourage formal
         and informal physical activity catering for a wide range of ages, abilities and interests.
