In September 2024 Council signed an historic commitment to sustainable custodianship of the lands and waters of Noosa, in partnership with Kabi Kabi People's Aboriginal Corporation (KKPAC).
As part of the world’s oldest continuing culture, the Kabi Kabi have been living sustainably in the Noosa Shire for over 30,000 years, caring for the lands and waters that we all call home.
Kabi Kabi Peoples’ relationship with the land is based on the notion for custodianship of Country, protecting, sustainably managing, and regenerating natural systems that we rely on for healthy food, clean water, fresh air, medicine, culture, shelter and recreation.
This Commitment between Noosa Council and the Kabi Kabi People acknowledges Noosa’s First Nations people and their deep cultural and spiritual connection to the natural systems that sustain us.
