 Noosa Environment Strategy
                                  Noosa Environment Strategy 2019 Outcomes
 2019 Themes
                                  B. Priority ecosystem areas in Council’s bushland reserves are enhanced and managed to be
                                  responsive to changing environmental conditions.
                                  D. Ecological linkages and connecting habitat areas are improved and rehabilitated to increase
                                  landscape connectivity and species resilience.
 Biodiversity
                                  E. Community conservation partnerships on public and private land are developed to deliver
                                  successful biodiversity conservation outcomes.
                                  F. Terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, as well as fauna and flora species, are protected from
                                  significant human impacts.
                                  B. Aquatic biodiversity is improved through the preservation and enhancement of diverse
                                  instream, riparian and wetland habitats.
                                  D. Waterways, wetlands and coastal environments are protected, managed and maintained in
 Waterways, wetlands and coasts   their natural state, and are enhanced to support healthy and diverse ecosystems.
                                  H. The impacts of human use are carefully managed to protect ecosystem health and visual
                                  amenity, as well as to ensure the sustainable use of waterways and foreshores for residents,
                                  visitors and commercial operators.
                                  A. Council and community greenhouse gas emissions are avoided, reduced and offset through
 Sustainable Living               strong Council leadership, pursuit of multiple benefits and effective actions that are prioritised by
                                  impact.
                                  A. The Noosa Council and Noosa community are better prepared for natural hazards and climate
                                  change through identification and mapping of natural hazards, proactive planning, risk reduction
                                  and information sharing.
                                  B. Noosa’s natural environment is prepared for climate change through the maintenance,
 Climate change adaptation and    restoration and increase of healthy, well-functioning ecosystems that facilitate diversity and
 resilience                       movement of species both within and beyond Noosa Shire.
                                  D. Risk assessments, climate adaptation and disaster management are well integrated and use
                                  best available information to inform decision-making, systems and processes.
                                  F. Understanding of likely responses of biodiversity and ecosystems to climate change is improved
                                  over time and management programs are adjusted where necessary.
