 Operational Plan (annually reviewed       “Fund and implement Coastal Foreshores and
                                           Coastal Hazard Management Plans to protect and
                                           enhance coastal and foreshore areas.” Signature
                                           projects include “Implementation of Coastal and

 2019                                      ecosystems are recognised and several targets
                                           and outcomes require them to be protected and
                                           enhanced.
 Noosa Biodiversity Plan: Biodiversity     Outlines the current and likely future state of
 Assessment Report 2016                    biodiversity in Noosa Shire and identifies dune
                                           ecosystems as being both at risk and having
                                           significant values.

                                           and cultural values.

                                           pest species (including broad leaf pepper,
                                           Singapore daisy and foxes) directly apply to the
                                           Eastern Beaches foreshore reserves.
 Noosa Climate Change Response Plan        Identifies healthy and resilient natural systems as
                                           a strategic priority, and specifically identifies the
                                           need to develop a coastal management plan for
                                           dune management and ecological restoration and
                                           other management aspects.
 Noosa Bushland Reserve Strategic Fire     Determines the level of fire threat, fire risk, and
 Management Plan 2021 - 2026               related interface management required for
                                           bushland reserves and foreshore reserves.

 Management Plan 2021 – 2026               Council’s bushland reserve network, to help
                                           prioritise management responses.
 Noosa Coastal Hazards Adaptation Plan     Describes risks from coastal hazards including
 2021                                      erosion, storm tide and gradual sea level rise and
                                           identifies nature-based solutions as the preferred
                                           adaptation response to likely impacts. Includes a
                                           biodiversity vulnerability assessment and a cost-
                                           benefit analysis for the Eastern Beaches. These
                                           assessments identified the importance of dune
                                           revegetation, augmentation and management to
                                           maximise benefits of coastal foreshores for both
                                           human and natural systems.
 Noosa Walking and Cycling Strategy and    Some of the existing walking and cycle paths
 Implementation Plan 2020-2040             pass through or alongside EBFRs. The plan
                                           guides the prioritisation of pathway
                                           improvements.
