Noosa Council

On (Saturday) 9 March 2013, residents of Noosa, along the east coast of Queensland, Australia, voted with the strength of an 80 percent block of ratepayers to take back their government. Officially, it’s call de-amalgamation. To most Noosa residents, it’s freedom and to some other residents of the Sunshine Coast Council, it’s divorce. Ask former Noosa mayor, Noel Playford, about de-amalgamation and you’re in for a discussion about lifestyle and a biosphere. As he was instrumental in Noosa’s overwhelming success on their vote, Playford might be a part of the new Noosa government. But, to understand Noosa’s future, one must look at its history.
