                                                     Corporate Plan 2023 - 2028
We are committed to protecting and enhancing
Noosa’s environmental assets and our
Biosphere. Our flora and fauna, oceans and
coasts, waterways and wetlands, atmosphere
and climate are all highly valued for both their
intrinsic worth and the ecosystem services
they provide. Noosa’s diverse ecosystems
attract people to live, work, invest and play in
the Shire. The evolution and advancement of
the Noosa Design Principles and The Noosa
Planning Scheme helps ensure our built
environment responds sensitively to our natural
environment, climate, cultural heritage and
enhances the liveability of the community.

The principles of ecologically sustainable
development are integrated into decision
making to help secure the continued
availability of natural resources for present
and future generations. Careful management
of growth and development are underpinned
by a commitment to maintaining a sustainable
population. Our development footprint is limited
by the need to protect significant environmental
values, avoid natural hazards, provide necessary
infrastructure and preserve the desired lifestyle.
This approach is intrinsic to our Biosphere and
the key to Noosa’s success.
