Noosa Environment Strategy Monitoring Report




Introduction
The plan outlines key strategies for the protection and enhancement of the Noosa environment.
It includes strategies on:
    •	
      Management of ecosystems
    •	
      Expansion of vegetation networks
    •	
      Key threatened species
    •	
      Health of waterways and wetlands
    •	
      Protection and management of coastal environments and foreshores
    •	
      Landfill waste
    •	
      Sustainable buildings
    •	
      Sustainable agriculture
    •	
      Carbon emission reduction
    •	
      Climate change resilience and adaptation

This monitoring program has been prepared to support the Environment Strategy and demonstrate
performance on metrics using available datasets.

Data has been gathered where available since 2014 to current date (2021)

A number of strategies are yet to have data available, and are indicated for capture in future
monitoring reports and, a number of the strategies that have been reported on are missing
components of monitoring data and or programs. These will be included in future reports also.

It is considered that monitoring reports will be prepared every 2 years.
