News & Events

Clean-Up Australia Day is Sunday 2nd March this year and once again the whole of the Noosa community is encouraged to help remove any litter and rubbish from our parks and streets, waterways, wetlands and along the foreshores and beaches of our beautiful region.

Volunteers Needed - We are needing some regular volunteers who are available around 2-4 hours a month to fill a few roles. Volunteers work in teams of 2 or 3 and will have the option to do either land-based (Creeks in Tewantin, Eenie Creek) or water-based testing (in Noosa River) and/or some data entry.

In October, the NICA AGM was held at the Yacht Club where a new NICA committee was appointed. It is a great mix of experienced enthusiastic NICA members and enthusiastic active volunteers.

An update on the various NICA projects - Riverwatch, Shorebirds, Waterwtch, Bushcare, Oyster Gardening, Urban Wildlife Gardens and Clean Up Australia Day.

The Urban Wildlife Gardens program continues to achieve its objectives with the support that comes from being part of NICA and the funding provided by Noosa Council through their Alliance Partnership.

A fabulous turn out of volunteers to assist with the culmination of the second year of the oyster gardening program at the Shellabration on the banks of the Noosa River.
