 3.3.8              Natural Hazards and Resilience

 The strategic outcomes for natural hazards and resilience by 2041 are:
 (a)    The Noosa community is well informed, resilient and able to adapt and plan for natural hazard and climate change risks.
 (b)    Development is designed and located so as not to be affected by natural hazards including flooding, storm surges, landslides,
        acid sulfate soils, bushfires and coastal erosion. The predicted effects of climate change have been appropriately considered for
        areas identified as likely to be at risk from natural hazards.
 (c)    The Noosa community has a high level of resilience through the identification and mapping of natural hazards and
        communicating, considering and planning for natural hazard risks.
 (d)    Development does not unduly burden disaster management response or recovery capacity and capabilities.
 (e)    Design and siting of development improves the adaptive capacity of the community to natural hazards by mitigating or avoiding
        long term climate risks.
 (f)    Development in areas subject to natural hazards is avoided or, where natural hazards cannot be avoided, mitigation or adaptation
        measures are adopted.
 (g)    Development in areas at risk of natural hazards is compatible with the nature of the hazard and does not place people, property,
        economic activity, social wellbeing and the natural environment at risk.
 (h)    Development does not materially increase the impact or severity of the natural hazard and the potential damage.
 (i)    Development does not impact on the flood plain and flood conveyance capacity of waterways.
 (j)    Development does not increase nature hazard risks for existing or planned communities, people, property or infrastructure
        through careful siting and design.
 (k)    Development is designed to minimise the greenhouse gas contribution to climate change and be resilient to the increased risk of
        natural disasters.
 (l)    Development is designed and operated to maintain and enhance the natural carbon storage potential of the Shire through
        protection of soil health and effective land management practices.
 (m)    Sensitive land uses are protected from the impacts of former mining activities and related hazards.
