Noosa Biosphere Ltd is seeking two new volunteer community board members to replace outgoing board members, including the inaugural chairman Mr Michael Donovan.

Mr Donovan has been chair of Noosa Biosphere Ltd, the community driven organisation supported by Sunshine Coast Regional Council, for the past 3 years since its commencement and he said it was time for a change.

“We have over 60 community members volunteering within the Noosa Biosphere, arranged in community sector boards on topics as diverse as education, culture, society, environment and economic development,” said Mr Donovan.

“This carries on the model from the former Noosa Council’s community sector boards.  The partnership approach between local government, community members and other interested groups continues to further the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere objectives of conservation, sustainable development and education.”

“It has been a privilege to work alongside these volunteers and immensely satisfying as we have achieved some fabulous outcomes for our community,” said Mr Donovan.

“But it is time for me to move on to other things and let the next generation of community volunteers step up.”

With two vacancies on the Noosa Biosphere Ltd Governance Board the organisation is looking for community leaders who have a passion for the region and a willingness to foster collaboration.  

Some experience in company directorship either in a public or private field is desirable and for further information including application forms go to www.noosabiosphere.org.au
