Formal Community Eng agement Projects

Noosa Council undertakes a range of community engagement activities to inform
decision -making , including support ing development of the annual budget, recognising
engagement as a core element of good governance. Through a mix of consultation
methods , such as surveys, online engagement via       Your Say Noosa , community workshops,
targeted stakeholder engagement, and        submissions, Council gathers insight into
community priorities, concerns and expectations.


This input helps Council understand community values, test trade        -offs, and balance
competing demands within financial and legislative constraints,       ensuring the budget is
informed by both technical analysis and lived experience, and aligns with         the long -term
interests of the Noosa community.


Over the past twelve months     formal c ommunity engagement        has occurred for localised
projects such as the Noosa Botanic Gardens Master Plan        , the Noosa Aquatic Centre
Upgrade Plan to more broad issues such as the Destination Management Plan               and
proposed amendments to the Noosa Plan         . There have been    over 4,300 interactions at
these community engagement opportunities throughout 2025 and 20             26.


The Community Satisfaction Survey and the Liveability Survey address distinct but
complementary aspects of community feedback. Together, they capture residents’ views
on Council’s performance and services, and the broader values, experiences and
outcomes the c ommunity seeks for Noosa as a place to live, work and participate in
community life.


B elow we have further information on     key engagements that have been completed which
