A series of interactive workshops, now underway, aim to ignite robust discussion about ways to manage Noosa as a destination, ensuring the shire remains a great place to live, work and visit. 

These free workshops are pivotal to the current engagement process on the Destination Management Plan. 

Mayor Clare Stewart encouraged as many people as possible to attend. 

“The more diverse ideas we get from our community, the better result we will achieve,” she said. 

“This conversation is just the start, so at these workshops, people will be able to identify what you love about Noosa, what you value and what vision do you have for the future of Noosa,” Cr Stewart. 

Independently facilitated by the Tourism CoLab, the interactive sessions will have several activities to identify ideas, considerations, and initiatives from those attending. 

The first workshop is on Wednesday October 4 from 4pm at Council Chambers.

Economic Development and Destination Management Manager Lynne Banford said feedback from these interactive workshops are key to helping draft a Destination Management Plan. 

“We’re getting a fantastic response to the two surveys we have on our engagement website, so we are hoping that these workshops will create an even more robust and detailed discussion,” she said. 

“The consultant will utilise a range of activities to facilitate the conversation and illicit the views and thoughts of what type of destination you consider appropriate in the future,” Ms Banford said.   

“If you can’t make a workshop, we’re also holding more informal coffee chats at locations,” she said.
