Green blessing
NOOSA Councillor Tony Wellington says Noosa Biosphere Reserve’s new management structure could become a model for other biospheres worldwide.
It follows a meeting of representatives of the World Network of Island and Coastal Biosphere Reserves, hosted by Noosa Council and Noosa Biosphere Limited earlier this month.
Representatives from biosphere reserves across Australia were among those to attend.
“What became very obvious from the conference was that Noosa Biosphere Reserve was better resourced, better understood and had greater community engagement than other biosphere reserves represented. We really should count our blessings,” Cr Wellington said.

THE Liberal National Party has staged a comeback in Queensland, as Campbell Newman, going into an election year, continues to wrestle with his unpopularity among voters.
Three months after a thumping by-election defeat, the Newman government has gone from trailing Labor to a now-comfortable lead in the latest Newspoll.
The LNP is on 54 per cent to Labor’s 46 per cent on a two-party-preferred basis, with the government securing a swing of five percentage points from the last Newspoll, held at the end of June when it lost the north Brisbane seat of Stafford in a by-election massacre.
