oosa Biosphere reserve volunteers are looking to build stronger links with communities in Eumundi, Verrierdale and Doonan by seeking to change the biosphere reserve boundaries to accommodate these areas. New Chair of Noosa Biosphere Ltd and Eumundi resident Sue Davis said that biosphere status was awarded to the region due to the strong community ethos towards biosphere objectives that include conservation, sustainable development and education. “However, those attributes don’t just stop at the border, and there has been interest from these communities in becoming part of the Noosa Biosphere since its early days,” said Ms Davis. “Biosphere volunteers have been actively partnering alongside many different organisations on projects outside the official boundaries and it made sense to see if we can jointly put in an application to have those boundaries changed to reflect the broader region.” Community meetings to discuss potential boundary changes have been scheduled at Eumundi CWA Hall on Monday 12 December at 6.30pm and at Noosa Pengari Steiner School Hall in Doonan for continued on page 4
