PO Box 141, Tewantin 4565. Landscaping Council's Town Planning Department has copies of Landscaping Guidelines to assist new residents in establishing homes and gardens in Noosa. They list species suitable for various situations, such as exposed coast, open forest, closed forest, wet areas, street trees, koala corridors, etc. - and suitability for under power lines, endemic and threatened species, canopy trees, as well as undesirable species with a tendency to become environmental weeds. By planting landscapes natural to this area, you will be providing a much needed habitat for wildlife dispossessed by urban expansion. Native gardens need little water in comparison to European style lawns and flowerbeds.
Local nurseries stock a wide range of native species.
To best preserve Noosa's natural environment, building forms should integrate with the natural environment of the area. Rather than modifying sites by cutting and filling, houses should be designed to fit in with the natural slopes and vegetation existing on the site. Rubbish and Recycling Urban areas of the Shire are serviced by a weekly wheelie bin garbage collection conducted by Council's contractor Pacific Waste. A fortnightly service operated by contractor Cleanaway collects recyclables. For Council's Refuse Tip at Eumundi Road, Noosaville, Division Two, Three and Four residential ratepayers and Noosa North Shore residents are issued each year with two free vouchers for domestic waste and fees are charged according to the volume of waste for additional or commercial use.
