                                                     of our local indigenous cultural heritage, both in terms
                                                     of respect for past history and present cultural practices
                                                     and people. Council will support the local indigenous
                                                     community in respectfully and sensitively sharing their
                                                     knowledge and stories to residents and visitors. Priority

                                                     to review and improve knowledge and mapping of
                                                     indigenous cultural heritage, exploring the feasibility of
                                                     an indigenous cultural heritage trail and supporting local
                                                     indigenous events and activities.




                                                     Heritage Coordination
                                                     Consultation with internal and external stakeholders
                                                     has highlighted the lack of coordination and
                                                     responsibility for Heritage within Council. It is currently
                                                     fragmented or relying on Councils’ part-time Heritage
                                                     Librarian. The Heritage Librarian role will be converted
                                                     to a full-time Heritage Coordinator to improve
                                                     coordination heritage matters within Council, provide
                                                     or seek expert heritage advice, act as a single point
                                                     of contact for heritage issues and oversight Council’s
                                                     heritage activities.




The Noosa Story
The story of Noosa’s development and
attachment to core community and
environmental values is a unique one. Council
will work with stakeholders to capture and
document this contemporary heritage including
the stories and histories of local people from the
period from 1960 to de-amalgamation.
The material will be used by stakeholders to
develop engaging exhibitions, displays and
content to tell the unique Noosa story.
