The Aims of Noosa Parks Association

Protecting the natural environment within the greater Noosa-Cooloola region

Encouraging both genuinely sustainable human behaviour and built environments

Future Challenges

• Keeping Noosa distinctly different from over-developed resort areas.
• Protecting Noosa Woods and the Spit as a recreational area safe from development.
• Keeping the Noosa River and its lakes the most natural in Queensland.
• Preserving the Marcus Beach high dunes as a greenbelt between the communities of Marcus Beach and Sunrise Beach.
• Extending Cooloola National Park south to the banks of the Noosa River by way of acquisition of North Shore land.
• Securement of Ringtail and Yurol Forests’ protection as national park, thus ensuring continuation of the protective green belt and preservation of wildlife corridors around/through the Noosa Biosphere Reserve.
• Remaining constantly vigilant against development projects which could threaten Noosa's superb natural environment.
• Protecting Noosa’s lifestyle and the Noosa Biosphere Reserve through the return of self-governance to the Noosa region.
• Creating a true exemplar of real sustainability and effective community by the creation of a new Noosa Shire Council.
• Achieving World Heritage nomination and then listing for the Cooloola Section of the Great Sandy National Park.
• National Heritage listing for the Noosa National Park, the Noosa River and the Noosa lakes system.
