Noosa is a small town with a population of approximately 50,000 locals located 120 kilometres (75 miles) north of Brisbane on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, on the east coast of Australia.
The town and surrounding area is popular with holidaymakers who visit Noosa for its sophisticated cafes, bars and restaurants, beaches and national parks, the proximity of nature and wildlife to the built areas, diverse range of Noosa accommodation, and busy calendar of cultural, sport and community events.
Noosa and its community has protected its natural environment and resisted proposed sand mining and over-development by creating significant areas of national park. Noosa Council has implemented sustainability planning policies such as traffic management, limits on high-rise buildings and population density.
Noosa's ongoing commitment to managing its development while protecting the natural environment has been recognised by the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO). The entire local government area was declared a biosphere reserve at a meeting in Paris, France, in September 2007.
