CONSOLIDATED COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROGRAM FEEDBACK 2025-2026 · Attachment 1 - Interactions and Engagement Summary for 2025-26 Final

Destination Management Plan

Noosa Council conducted two             key community engagement               phases in preparation of this
community -led plan , which was adopted on 15 December 2025.


The combined engagement attracted                 nearly 2,000 people . There were 937 responses
during Phase 1 (conducted between 15 September to 29                     October 202 3.)


In Phase two 1,099 responses were              provided (Consultation during May -September 2025)


The survey component sought to understand how tourism impacted the Noosa
community, confirm community expectations for managing visitation, and ensure that the
resulting DMP reflected what matters most to residents, businesses                      and stakeholders .

Collectivel y, DMP surveying delivered a rich quantitative and qualitative data set of          more than 2,000
individual survey responses, supported by 197 submissions, 40                Mentimeter responses, and 24 Love
Letters written by Noosa’s youth.



Phase 2: Validating and Refining Community Feedback

The second phase of consultation was designed to confirm earlier findings.


It shared back with the community the proposed vision, regenerative tourism approach,
and the set of strategies and actions identified in Phase               1.


The purpose was to check that Council had accurately understood and reflected
community feedback. This information was presented using four guiding principles to help
structure discussion and         understanding.
