Local Economic Plan 2016

The Local Economic Plan for Noosa was 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
