Noosa Council CEO Larry Sengstock said Council is closely monitoring the impacts the fuel situation is having on day-to-day operations.
"At this stage, there is no change to Council services. We are continuing to deliver planned work and operations but we're proactively talking through our options as the situation evolves," he said.
Mr Sengstock said Council would manage the impact within its existing budget.
"We're in contact with local suppliers and contractors and actively monitoring our fuel usage. Our priority is to continue to deliver essential services and maintenance across the shire," he said.
Mr Sengstock said the current situation is challenging for Council.
"If fuel prices stay high for an extended period, we may need to reassess how some services are delivered to manage increased operational costs," Mr Sengstock said.
"If any changes are needed, we will certainly let the community know."
Noosa Council supports the call from the Australian Local Government Association (ALGA) for councils to be recognised as a key part of the national response to the fuel supply challenges.
ALGA is seeking a coordinated policy response, acknowledging the essential role of local government in keeping community services operating.
Mr Sengstock said Council staff are being encouraged to carpool or use public transport when travelling to and from work where practical.
