existing accessibility and infrastructure services, as well as current levels of residential, commercial
and retail development. In response to these risks, the preferred adaptation outcomes are:

   -   Use adaptive landscape design measures to mitigate risk to open space recreation and
       road network areas. This may include low level walls, seat and garden beds used to
       prevent periodic tidal inundation from spreading into parks and road areas.
   -   Increasing inundation risks to service infrastructure assets are mitigated through adaptive
       design.


Figure 18 shows the expected progression of these preferred outcomes between 2020 and 2100.
Table 17. provides a breakdown of actions in support of these outcomes, to be pursued within the
five year life of this plan.

 Land Use               Review and update the Noosa Plan 2020 to ensure it aligns with State
 Planning               Planning Policy requirements for inundation risks and to ensure development
                        is appropriately planned for and considered in the design and siting of new
                        development.
