Residents will help a local council plan for the future, by sharing their values in a liveability survey.
Community members can now let Noosa Council know what is working well and what would improve the region as a place to live, work and play.
“Your priorities may have changed since the last survey in 2021,” Mayor Frank Wilkie said.
“We want to hear directly about what you value most about living and working in Noosa so that your council can respond to local values and priorities when future planning.”
Council has partnered with social research organisation Place Score to deliver the survey.

Council’s director of environment and strategy Kim Rawlings encouraged the community to get involved, with more than 1655 people having completed the survey in 2021, and rating Noosa one of the most liveable places in Queensland.
“This survey helps us understand what our community values and how those views may have changed since we undertook the first liveability survey with Place Score at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic back in 2021,” she said.
She said the community named walking, jogging and cycling as key priorities in the 2021 survey and that feedback directly influenced the council’s planning.
“We prioritised implementation of the Walking and Cycling Strategy actions and it informed delivery of the priority footpath ‘missing links’ program,” Ms Rawlings said.
The 2026 Noosa Liveability Survey takes around 15 minutes to complete and closes on Sunday, March 8.
The council encouraged Noosa residents and workers to take part.
Participants have the chance to win one of 10 x $100 vouchers for Coles, JB Hi-Fi or Bunnings.
