A focus on residents and the environment

Sunrise Beach resident Fiona Jacobs is proud to announce her candidacy in the March 2024 Noosa Council elections.

Retiring to Noosa 12 years ago after a long nursing career in North Queensland, Fiona has been actively involved in many local causes.

Five years ago, she took on a role at the forefront of the campaign for Voluntary Assisted Dying, establishing Nurses Supporting Voluntary Assisted Dying, a group advocating for compassionate end-of-life choices.

Her unwavering dedication to this cause for over four years, and the success of the campaign, underscore her skills as an advocate and her firm commitment to enhancing the community’s well-being.

Fiona, a totally independent candidate, is unaffiliated with any political party, not tied to any commercial organisation, does not own short-stay accommodation, and is entirely self-funding her campaign.

This highlights transparency in politics and ensuring her ability to vote independently on any council issue.

“I am focused on residents and the environment, addressing issues including well-being, green spaces, environmental protection, short-stay accommodation, and housing availability,” Fiona said.

“I am committed to sustainable tourism, addressing traffic congestion and recognising economic diversity is the key to our future.”

Fiona plans to listen to the community and hopes to meet with voters at various events leading up to the elections.
