Have a say to help shape our new Noosa Plan
Noosa Council has started work on a new Noosa Plan to shape Noosa’s look and feel for the next decade and beyond.
Residents can have a say on a discussion paper, either online, or at one of 11 upcoming consultation sessions.
“The Noosa Plan is a critical document that controls land use and development throughout the Shire. Over the next three years Council will work with the community to develop the new Noosa Plan. This will be the blueprint to shape Noosa for the next decade,” Mayor Tony Wellington says.
The current Noosa Plan, developed in 2006, is 10 years old and due for review.
“At this early stage in the planning process, we really want to hear residents’ ‘big picture’ ideas and how they feel about Noosa. What is it you cherish most about Noosa, or what would you like to see change?”
Council has released a discussion paper to get the conversation started. It outlines broad subject areas the Noosa Plan will cover.
The discussion paper is now live on Council’s YourSay Noosa website.
It calls for input on topics such as community, economy, housing, transport, environment and natural hazards. There is also focus on our distinct towns and local communities.
The initial consultation phase will run until 12 December 2016.
Council is urging the community to have a say on what Noosa should look like into the future.
