news Help Council create a new blueprint

Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart and Noosa Council CEO Scott Waters.

NOOSA Council is overhauling its Corporate Plan to create a new 2023–2028 blueprint for the shire and is seeking community consultation.

Noosa Council CEO Scott Waters said the new plan to reflect the community’s changing needs and priorities will be developed through extensive community consultation.

“We have seen so much change in the past few years so it’s time to review, reflect and create an exciting and invigorated blueprint for our shire,” he said.

The Corporate Plan is a legislated requirement for councils but Mayor Clare Stewart said it helps guide Council’s decisions every day.

“This is a living plan which we will continue to review and revise over time.

“It outlines key strategic issues or projects that Council will prioritise and advocate for on behalf of the community.

“The community will be a key part of developing this new plan,” Cr Stewart said.

The plan also provides an opportunity to set a direction for the next five years, based on the community's needs, expectations and vision.

Council’s current Corporate Plan was updated in September 2018.

“A lot has changed since the last plan was adopted – with a pandemic, the announcement of the 2032 Olympics and a significant shift in the local economy – so it’s important residents have their say and help shape goals for the next five years,” Mr Waters said.

“There will be a series of community workshops, an online survey, and sessions with industry, to ensure we get a good cross-section of input.”

Cr Stewart encouraged all residents to be active participants in the engagement process.

“We really want this plan to reflect the views of our shire, so I implore all sections of the community to have their say and put forward their ideas,” she said.

Consultation will start next month with plans to have the 2023–2028 Corporate Plan adopted in January 2023.

Council has engaged Nicholson Sheehan Consulting Group to develop the new plan.
