                                  ACTIVITY                                           SERVICE LEVEL TARGET
 This service currently has limited Council approved service levels with staff largely reliant on hybrid arrangements
 put in place since formation of the new Noosa Council (i.e. mix of amalgamated Council and newly revised service
 levels).

 A Strategic Plan is being developed and will be presented to Council for consideration. It is envisaged that the
 Strategic Plan will be underpinned by existing and proposed locality based Bushland Management Plans and where
 required, Ecological Restoration Plans.
