Pomona Place Plan enters final phase of community engagement

Noosa Council has today announced the launch of Phase 3 of the Pomona Place Plan community engagement project.

Running until Sunday, November 17, 2024, this phase invites the Pomona community to review the draft plan to see that it accurately captures their vision and aspirations for the future.

Mayor Frank Wilkie said the final round of engagement is the result of over a year of community collaboration as part of a pilot placemaking project.

“Placemaking is a new approach for Noosa Council, focusing on what the residents really value about their town, what they want to see improved and what needs to stay the same,” he said.

“The Pomona community has a strong sense of who they are and what matters most to them. This is why Pomona was the natural choice for the placemaking pilot, which is all about recognising the unique character of each community. We want to know if we have got it right for Pomona,“ he said.

Residents can participate in a variety of ways, including a postcard mailout with a QR code to the Noosa Council Your Say page to complete a short survey. The QR code can also be accessed on posters around town, including the Cooroy Library and the Pomona and District Community House.

Community members interested in being a driving force to make the actions a reality, together with their community, are also invited to express their interest and find out more via yoursay.noosa.qld.gov.au

Council will hold a community pop-up on Saturday, November 2, at Joe Bazzo Park, from 9am to 12 noon.

It will showcase the range of actions the community put forward for the draft plan. Workshops with local community organisations are also planned to review the plan’s actions.
