When you visit Noosa, it's easy to make a positive impact on the environment.
You might call it travel for good, treading lightly, responsible travel, going green, roaming with less impact, or just doing the right thing, it all makes a difference. Join us as we protect and regenerate the natural environment (after all, it’s the number 1 reason we all love Noosa) and keep it extraordinary for future generations.
Bring your own reusable coffee cups and water bottles or buy one from the Noosa Visitor Information Centre in Hastings Street, Noosa Heads which has a great Noosa range that you’ll love to keep or gift. It's a simple way to help protect the beaches, waterways and natural beauty that make Noosa so special. Every reusable item makes a difference.
