The Noosa FM 101.3 Community Radio team recently gathered at Noosa Springs for their AGM and Christmas party, celebrating a year of outstanding community engagement.
Led by president Sibylle Reisch, the event honoured the dedication of Noosa FM’s volunteers, who continue to inspire listeners across the Sunshine Coast with diverse voices and eclectic music.
Special guests included Noosa Mayor Frank Wilkie and a representative from Bendigo Bank, whose support has been instrumental during the challenging post-COVID years.
President Sibylle expressed gratitude to all sponsors, supporters, and subscribers for their contributions to Noosa FM’s sustainability.
The AGM confirmed the re-election of key leaders: Sibylle Reisch as president, Gisa Weatherill as treasurer, and Angie Whitfield as secretary, ensuring the station’s mission stays on course.
Sean Cary of Sean Cary Real Estate Noosa was named Sponsor of the Year, recognised for his exceptional support. The youngest host, Reuben Cosgrove, who joined Noosa FM at 15 and now, at 21, hosts “The Millennium Scene” on Tuesdays, was celebrated for his talent and dedication.
To encourage and symbolise growth of the radio station and connection with its community, the management presented a variety of native trees to each attendee for planting in their gardens and watch it grow.
Looking ahead, 2025 will see transformative upgrades to Noosa FM’s studios, thanks to Bendigo Bank Tewantin-Noosa’s sponsorship. This refurbishment will modernise equipment, enable digital integration, and introduce a podcast room available for hire, strengthening Noosa FM’s role as a community radio leader.
Noosa FM extends heartfelt thanks to everyone who supported the station in 2024. “Together, we’re amplifying voices and making a difference in our community,” they said.
