PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 10 NOVEMBER 2015
Supporting statements are also being developed to help interpret and elaborate on the meaning
of each principle. These will link with the policy direction within the key strategy documents
including the Local Economic Plan, Social Strategy, Transport Strategy and Biodiversity Plan.
Refer to the attached policy framework.
It is also intended that each principle be accompanied by a set a sustainability indicators or KPIs
to regularly measure and report on Council and the community’s progress towards sustainability
best practice. The indicators will provide a means of tracking performance against the principles
and help highlight priority issues where more attention is required.

Finance & Risk
Having a policy framework built around sustainability helps ensure Council takes a balanced
approach to its decision making, taking account of broad ranging environmental, social and
economic risks. This holistic approach is consistent with Noosa Shire’s recognition as a
UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and ongoing commitment towards achieving a successful balance
between people and the environment.

Internal Consultation
A workshop was held with Councillors on 19 August 2015 to discuss the concept of sustainability
principles and indicators. Now that many of Council’s key strategies are nearing completion,
having an endorsed set of Sustainably Principles will enable a consistent approach to how these
strategies are presented and interlinked.
