4.4 Governance and Risk Management Transition Action Plan (TAP)
Governance is a critical pillar of local government. It ensures a process is in place that enables
good decision making which in turn promotes community confidence in its council. A good
governance framework also ensures transparency, accountability and participation, and assists
local government to meet its legislative requirements.

The Governance TAP Team was tasked to:

    Establish a governance framework that provides the structure through which council’s vision
     and objectives can be achieved.
    Ensure all instruments such as local laws, planning instruments, policies and procedures
     transfer to new council.
    Review existing Sunshine Coast Council Risk Register and update to ensure all identified
     risks relating to assets and communities within new Noosa Council boundaries are recorded.
    Develop and maintain a register of impending and outstanding insurance claims for the
     Noosa Shire.
    Determine a preferred delivery model for disaster management and make recommendation
     for consideration by the new Noosa Council.
    Draft an action plan that details how and in what order council might develop the necessary
     plans, policies and documents necessary to flesh out this Governance framework.
