Waste education gets interactive
|
Waste education just got a lot more interesting with the official opening of Noosa Council’s ‘The Ed Shed’ today, an interactive waste and recycling education hub.
The Ed Shed, perfectly situated in the Reviva recycling shop at Noosa’s resource recovery centre, is an interactive space that explains the problems waste is causing around the world, and the importance of us all trying to reduce our consumption.
While it’s not open to the public yet due to COVID restrictions, more than 660 local school students have already been through the Shed in the last three months. Read more.

Call for independent review

Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart has called for an urgent independent assessment to be completed on the Pomona Kin Kin Road.
“We need this road to become a priority for the newly elected government,” she said.
Hinterland residents told Council they fear the worst with up to 69 quarry trucks driving in and out of the quarry every day. That means 138 in total every day. Read more.
