Noosa Council has received invaluable feedback during its latest phase of engagement to help guide future planning of the Noosaville Foreshore in coming decades.
More than 160 people completed the online survey about the revised draft Noosaville Foreshore Infrastructure Master Plan.
About 70 people attended last Friday afternoon’s pop-up information session on the foreshore. Many others provided their input at a series of coffee chats during the four-week process.
Director of Infrastructure Services Shaun Walsh said the response was very pleasing.
“Our team did a considerable amount of work to ensure the revised plan aligned with community expectations, was much simpler and responded to the challenges for this two-kilometre-long public space,” he said.
“The feedback has been quite positive, insightful and productive.”
“There are many diverse views in the community, and some changes suggested during the consultation. Our staff will carefully work through the feedback and consider further improvements to the draft plan,” Mr Walsh said.
“I really want to thank those who took the time to do the survey and also write specific notes during our face-to-face sessions.”
Mr Walsh said the strong community interest will help preserve the foreshore.
“It’s such a loved area and this engagement phase has really helped us better understand the key areas that need to be addressed,” Mr Walsh said.
“It’s a long term, visionary plan that will benefit future generations.”
Once the final plan is ready for adoption, it will go to council sometime in 2025.
