NICA has recently published ‘Noosa’s Native Plants – Flowering Now’ by Stephanie Haslam.  This book is now available for sale and would make an excellent Christmas present.

On Friday 28th November NICA members enjoyed a river cruise aboard the Noosa Ferry for the AGM and end of year celebration.

On Tuesday, 4 November 2025, NICA members and guests were treated to a rare behind-the-scenes look at one of Noosa’s most essential — yet often overlooked — pieces of infrastructure: the Noosa Wastewater Treatment Plant.

As part of the Qld Govt Engaging Science program of activities NICA had 2 fabulous excursions to the Noosa River Mouth to remove a recent, extensive colony of invasive American Sea Rocket.

NICA and Urban Wildlife Gardens hosted 3 events as part of the 2025 Sunshine Coast Wildflower Festival,

We would like to welcome our recent new members. If you are not already a member of NICA you are invited to join.

For the 'Tread Lightly' event no. 5 two large pontoon boatloads of enthusiastic photographers had a perfect morning for an outing at the Noosa River Estuary to learn about the shorebirds and take photographs.

This is a fantastic example of what a bushland group can do. Noosa Bush Beach and Creek Care took on this project at the northern end of Sunshine Beach. Check out the before and after photo.

As part of the recent Wildflower Festival 18 people to enjoyed a walk admiring the wildflowers and learning about the fight to save Marcus Beach high dunes in the 1990s. 

Volunteers needed to help with a cleanup at Double Island Point scheduled for October 10–12.
