The community contributed to the development of the Social Strategy through:

- Visiting Council Information Booths (Pop Ups) to speak with Council officers
- Attending workshops

Final Social Strategy
Noosa's Social Strategy was adopted by Council on December 17, 2015 after a comprehensive community consultation period. The original draft Strategy was amended in the final Social Strategy document to reflect the community's feedback which included: additional statistics added to the Community Snapshot section; new technologies required to integrate and deliver services; improved data collection required to inform social planning, advocacy and resource allocation; acknowledgement of the role artists play in community well being; the creation of a one stop Community Hub; and that Council's role implementing the strategy should be reinforced.
