Adventure operators shine their community spirit

The Adventure Noosa Group (made up of operators from the Youth & Adventure sector) will reunite to host regular clean-up events around our Noosa Villages as they set sights on aligning themselves with Tourism Noosa green initiative, the Plastic Free Noosa Program.

Every six to eight weeks members of the group will meet up to discuss ideas to boost tourism and entice youth travellers to the Noosa Region, followed by a Plastic Free Noosa clean-up in various Noosa villages.

Commencing in Noosaville on the 19 August, clean-ups will also take place from Noosa Main Beach, Sunshine Beach, Noosa Junction and K-Gari, with members of the community invited to participate in the clean-ups.

Plastic Free Noosa Program Manager, Anita Butler said, “For many of these operators, the majority of their business comes from our international visitors.”

“Despite no international travel for the foreseeable future, this group still somehow manages to ooze positivity and prove how resilience, teamwork and fun can really pull a community together.

“The clean-ups are a great way for the group to connect and now more than ever, these small businesses need our support and we urge the community to get behind them wherever possible.

“Come and join them on the Plastic Free Noosa clean-ups which are proudly sponsored by Heads of Noosa Brewery, or simply just come and say hi to encourage and meet these local eco-warriors as they forge on into uncertain times,” Ms Butler said.

Wednesday 19 August – NOOSA RIVER – near Noosa Boathouse, 3:30pm-5:00pm

Thursday 24 September – SUNSHINE BEACH – near the SLSC, 3:30pm-5:00pm
