Local Economic Plan

The Local Economic Plan for Noosa has been developed through a process of consultation and engagement with the community and guided by a Project Focus Group.

The Local Economic Plan looks to support the development of:

• A more diverse local economy
• Growth in smart industry sectors
• A smart approach to planning
• Sustainability - the interdependence of the economy, the environment and the community.

It also:

• provides a policy statement that is easily understood and clearly explains the philosophy behind why we do what we do;
• is realistic, achievable and sufficiently resourced;
• is capable of evolving, and spans a 5 year time frame;
• is market driven;
• clearly expresses Council’s role which includes facilitating, enabling, connecting, partnering and direct delivery;
• recognises innovation as a key driver of business growth;
• values education and a skilled and talented workforce and business community;
• recognises and maximises benefits from its Noosa Biosphere® status and;
• demonstrates best use of available resources.
