Sunday, March 6th is the date for Clean Up Australia Day 2022 when thousands of Australians wage war on rubbish and litter lying in their parks, streets, forests, creeks and beaches. Across Noosa hundreds of volunteers will gear up with gloves and sacks and join in at one of the local Clean Up Australia Day sites.
Noosa Integrated Catchment Association (NICA) is all set for Clean Up Australia Day with 15 locations around the Noosa Biosphere where you can join local volunteers to get involved.
Sites are advertised in the local papers and online at www.noosariver.com.au, or you can search for a site near you at cleanupaustraliaday.org.au
There are 12 locations across the Noosa region where the public can turn up and register on the day to be a part of the Clean Up. All Hinterland towns are involved as usual including Boreen Point, Kin Kin, Cooran, Federal, Pomona and Cooroy with sites also located in Tewantin, Tinbeerwah, Sunshine Beach, Peregian Beach, Noosaville Boat Ramp and Woods Bay at the end of Hastings St.
Clean Up Australia Day in Noosa would not be a success without the generous support of the Noosa Shire Council, local businesses and community volunteers.
All volunteers registered at Noosa sites will again go into the draw for prizes generously donated by The Sofitel Noosa and Peppers Resort and Spa. Our Clean Up Day is also proudly supported by Cleanaway and Allcott Hire to ensure that all the waste is disposed of properly.
Volunteers are welcome to join us for lunch at Noosaville Lions Park provided by the Noosa Lions Club after the event or at one of the BBQs being hosted at other sites.
Everyone is welcome to put on a hat, grab some gloves and bring a water bottle, and Step Up to Clean Up at one of the registration sites near you to be a part of Clean Up Australia Day in Noosa from 8am on Sunday March 6th.
