Applicant Project name Project overview
NICA Girraween Nature Refuge (GNR) • This project extends the existing rehabilitation works which have been around the perimeter of GNR and the
Rescue adjoining perimeter of the Weyba Link/ Girraween section of Noosa National Park (2013-2023).
• NICA will hold monthly volunteer working bees to remove invasive weeds from the GNR. They will work
systematically through critically affected areas to ensure a healthy and biodiverse wildlife corridor and
protection for the vulnerable Wallum ecosystem.
• Contractors will work on the heavier infestations, particularly woody weeds, vines and large grasses.
Noosa Environment Grassroots Foreshore Management • The Noosa EE Hub in collaboration with Peregian Beach Bush Care will deliver a grassroots program of
Educational (EE) Hub "Custodians of Place" - Peregian foreshore management best practice education.
Chapter • The project is designed to help underpin the Eastern Foreshore Management Plan by contextualizing the plan
for the local community. Noosa EE Hub are packaging the work completed by Peregian Beach Bush Care into
a context that makes it understandable and relevant to locals.
• The program will be innovative, hands on and practical in its approach to target locals in their patch, while
building a sense of pride in their natural assets as a collective space managed by the whole of community.
