It’s taken 40 years, but at long last we’re getting a chance to tell the State Government what controls are needed to stop people dumping vessels in our Noosa River. That’s how long Council and our community have been calling
For supporters of practical reconciliation, this is a proud time for Noosa. Proud, pivotal and long overdue. Some 200 years after white people arrived on the Sunshine Coast, the Kabi Kabi people are resuming their responsibility of caring for Cooloola
The Draft Eastern Beaches Foreshore Management Plan to be discussed by Noosa Council this week will be a test for our Councillors watched closely by our community waiting for action. Is this Council ready to do something about the environmental
Noosa Council is approaching one of those interesting junctions when we may learn something about where we are heading as a community. In just a few weeks we will have a much clearer idea of whether this Council is serious
The Noosa Council Chambers stand on the Noosa River near Tewantin on a prime site where the river turns east after its southward run out of the hills. Up to the 1860s this was the site of a giant oyster

Everyone who understands our Noosa River knows what happens to the colour of the water during floods. And we know it’s caused by soil erosion in the catchment. What we don’t know is how much of the sediment ends up
Delayed by politics, bureaucratic hurdles and evolving science, Noosa’s oyster reefs are finally taking shape. Better late than never. Noosa Matters has reported previously on how Noosa’s ‘Bring Back the Fish’ project became bogged down in small town politics while
Something truly transformational is happening – mostly out of sight – in our hinterland. The Yurol-Ringtail Conservation Project – described as the last link in the crescent of National Parks around Noosa – is rapidly changing from a logging forest
Koala rescuers have noticed a steep increase in callouts to local koalas in the past couple of years, which suggests that numbers are holding, if not actually increasing, across the shire. And if one extrapolates the density discovered in Yurol and Ringtail to other known koala habitat in Noosa, we are talking about potentially thousands of koalas already surviving, reproducing, and living the Noosa dream.
