DONATE A TREE

A proud partnership with Visit Noosa and Noosa & District Landcare, Trees for Tourism supports tree planting in the hinterland for land rehabilitation, carbon emission reduction and the protection and enhancement of koala habitat.

Take 3 pieces (or more!) of rubbish with you when you leave the beach or anywhere and you’ll make a difference.

SURF HEAVEN

LOVE OUR WILDLIFE

Many animals live in or visit Noosa regularly as our pristine environment provides plenty of natural habitat. We ask you to help us look after our local furry, winged, prickly and water-dwelling residents and preserve their home. Remember not to feed them!

SAY NO TO PLASTICS

Noosa is dedicated to eliminating single-use plastics and was Australia’s first Plastic Free Destination. You’ll find Plastic Free Noosa Champion restaurants and cafés using green alternatives, and look out for our unique aluminium NOOSA bottled water in shops around town.
