The Noosa Promise
Inspired by the Kabi Kabi Commitment

Noosa is the place of shadows – where guardian trees meet the sea, nature thrives, and the
spirit of the land connects us all.

Whether I am here for a day, or a lifetime, I recognise that I have a
shared responsibility to protect this place for all who follow.


        -   I promise to tread lightly.
            By walking gently, leaving no trace, and respecting sacred places and wildlife.

        -   I promise to celebrate Noosa’s diverse communities.
            By honouring deeply held values, embracing diversity, and respecting all
            people who call Noosa home.

        -   I promise to give back more than I take.
            By volunteering, donating and acting in ways that regenerate nature, enhance
            culture, and support local businesses, artists and conservation efforts.

        -   I promise to connect with culture and Country.
            By seeking to understand Noosa’s cultural roots and honouring the wisdom of
            those who came before, especially the Kabi Kabi Peoples as Noosa’s
            Traditional Custodians.

        -   I promise to protect what sustains us.
            By keeping land, rivers, ocean and air clean – reducing waste, choosing local
            food, and conserving water and energy.



This is my commitment

To be a custodian of Noosa with a legacy of leaving these lands and waters better than I
found them, so that others, yet to come, may experience the spirit and beauty of Noosa.

This is my promise – For the Love of Noosa.
