2019-05-07 P&E Agenda - Item 3 - Attachment 1 - Noosa Sustainability Institute - Concepts and Options Report

3.3.2            Boundaries
From the discussions with the external community members and Council staff it was apparent that
the Institute should set itself to focus on a few well-defined issues/challenges and avoid having too
broad a focus. Some suggested issues for consideration included:
    Traffic
    Population impacts and opportunities
    Technology and job changes as part of the 4th Industrial revolution.
    The rivers and estuarine system within the Shire
    Food and food security
    Unknown unknowns
    Issues relating to the use of a circular economy
    Development issues (in particular refurbishment and updating opportunities for existing older
     buildings)
