We love where we live, so protecting our natural assets, relaxed lifestyle and diverse landscapes is important.
That’s why this conversation about how we can grow well together to ensure we maintain a lifestyle that aligns with community values and achieves a balanced visitor economy, is certain to stimulate plenty of discussion.
Mayor Clare Stewart said it’s important to hear from as many different voices as possible.
“This is an open invitation to have a say. A discussion paper has been developed and we want residents, business leaders and visitors to tell us what is important to them in managing Noosa Shire as a destination for residents and visitors,” she said.
Feedback from this conversation will help shape the development of a Destination Management Plan for our shire.
The discussion paper, which can be downloaded at yoursay.noosa.qld.gov.au, covers a range of scenarios and outlines examples of different actions that could be taken, but these are only examples.
Council currently undertakes a variety of actions to manage the visitor economy, but we want feedback on those and respondents to suggest other examples that should be considered.
“There are so many ways to get involved,”
“Our staff are preparing workshops to be held in October, coffee catch-ups are being arranged, so I really encourage people to attend if they can, to provide input,” Cr Stewart said.
Workshop dates are available at yoursay.noosa.qld.gov.au
People can also complete two surveys, so their thoughts are captured.
You have until midnight 29 October to have a say.
