Our new 50 Shades of Green guide for sustainable event management is an innovative roadmap to help organisers of large and small events in Noosa achieve sustainability goals - from energy to water, waste and much more.

With practical tips, easy steps and a wealth of resources, 50 Shades of Green aims to strike a balance between economic prosperity, social responsibility, cultural preservation and environmental stewardship.

Tourism Noosa and our Plastic Free Noosa program developed the guide with the support of local organisations and experts who share a commitment to preserving Noosa's natural beauty and cultural heritage for future generations.

It will help event organisers benchmark their efforts and improve with each event.

The guide follows the phases of event planning, from pre-event to during an event and post-event actions. Information covers areas such as:

  • Environmental risk assessments
  • Community impacts
  • Carbon emission reductions
  • How to save on energy, water and waste to minimise environmental impacts while maximising positive contributions to the community.

Thank you to everyone who has worked with us on this, and to the Noosa events that have already embraced the challenge to reduce their impacts.
