The Eumundi Rotary Club has donated 10 Shelterbags for the Homeless to The Salvation Army Australia in Noosaville to support people experiencing homelessness or sleeping rough, especially during the recent wet and cold weather. Shelterbags are part of a Rotary-supported project that provides practical, weather-resistant emergency shelter for people in need. Each bag is designed to offer warmth, protection and dignity when safe accommodation is not immediately available.
The bag shown is representative only – the actual Shelterbags supplied through the project may be slightly different in design or appearance. ... See MoreSee Less

Sandy Bolton MP for Noosa has sought clarification in State Parliament on what alternatives are being considered to shark control equipment, including nets, under Qld’s Shark Management Plan.
In response, Primary Industries Minister Tony Perrett MP said human safety remained the program’s top priority in the Shark Management Plan 2025-2029. However, about 60% of the additional $88.2M investment would go towards research, trials of modern technology, education and the SharkSmart drone initiative.
A Shark Mitigation Alternative Framework is also being developed to guide the systematic identification and assessment of new technologies and management practices. The framework is expected to be released soon.
All shark nets were fitted with acoustic whale alarms before the current migration period. Noosa will trial a modified version during the southern whale migration from September to October this year. New signage will encourage beachgoers to report whales caught in shark nets.
Sunshine Coast News reported on 22 July that the SharkSmart drone trial, which ran from 2020 to 2024 and included the Sunshine Coast, had proven valuable and more effective in protecting swimmers and marine life.
Drones currently operate at Noosa Main Beach, Coolum North, Alexandra Headland, Kings Beach and Happy Valley. The program works closely with the Civil Aviation Safety Authority to ensure the safety of equipment, operators and the public.
A government spokesperson said drones were expected to become a permanent fixture at more beaches in the near future.
Mr Perrett said suitable alternatives to shark nets were always being considered. Further updates are expected once new strategies are added to the Shark Mitigation Alternative Framework. Visit: t.ly/wd4o5. ... See MoreSee Less

Over 40 volunteers gathered in Ridgewood on 7 August to plant around 600 koala food trees. Former Eumundi residents and Queensland Koala Crusaders, the Halverson family, hope to regenerate their new property as a safe corridor for koalas and other species.
With a grant from Queensland Trust for Nature, the help of We Grow Community and Noosa and District Landcare Group, the volunteers worked like a “well-oiled machine” and completed the task within 3 hours, assisted by a hole digging Aquaspear.
Co-Founder of Qld Koala Crusaders Meghan Halverson said, “I have always dreamt of contributing in a meaningful way to our beloved koalas and after we purchased this beautiful 33-acre property in March, we wanted to connect a corridor for koalas.”
The volunteers were rewarded with a wonderful morning tea and the knowledge that this project will be a legacy for koalas and other creatures into the future. ... See MoreSee Less
