Tourism Noosa CEO resigns

Tourism Noosa chief executive officer Melanie Anderson announced her resignation from the organisation on Monday 26 September.

After three years of leading Tourism Noosa through some of the most challenging times for our organisation and industry, Melanie will be returning to her hometown of Brisbane.

“The past three years have been a great experience for me and I have been very privileged to lead Tourism Noosa during this time,” Ms Anderson said.

“It has been extremely rewarding being part of a dedicated team that has supported the tourism and broader business industry of Noosa through significant challenges from bushfires, through the pandemic and into the post-recovery phase.”

Chairman of Tourism Noosa Max Webberley said that the achievements gained for the Noosa Tourism industry during Melanie’s tenure were significant.

“Among the many achievements resulting from Melanie’s leadership, the organisation has continued to deliver innovative marketing campaigns and widened its destination management approach which have been acknowledged with winning significant awards for the region including being Queensland’s Top Tourism Town and winning the prestigious Mumbrella Award for Sustainability Practices.”

“On behalf of the Tourism Noosa Board, team and members, we wish to thank Melanie for her dedication, commitment and all she has achieved during her time leading the organisation.”

Ms Anderson will finish up at Tourism Noosa at the end of September and Tourism Noosa’s Deputy CEO/Communications Manager, Susan Ewington will continue as Acting CEO.
