Our Vision

An environmentally, economically and socially sustainable catchment.

Our Role

• Provide a forum for community input and discussion
• Identify and prioritise catchment issues
• Develop and promote the adoption of catchment management strategies and actions by all stakeholders
• Leverage funding to implement, monitor and evaluate such strategies and actions

Our Work

The Noosa River Catchment Management Strategy (3.5MB) is the blueprint for NICA's work, as the not-for-profit organization develops and manages projects to promote the health of the Noosa River Catchment.  Currently, NICA is implementing a number of projects involving waterways protection, water monitoring, riparian restoration and various education initiatives. The latter includes, among others, three projects dedicated to spreading the knowledge of Noosa's native flora and fauna, and promoting waste minimization at schools. Check out the dedicated websites below:

• Noosa's Native Plants
• Waste Wise Schools Initiative
• What Local Native Plant is That?
