A Noosa advocacy group has been formed to fight Noosa council efforts to prepare the area for the effects of climate change and is bringing in an Adani-linked lobby group to help.
The Eastern Beaches Protection Association opposes the Noosa Shire Council’s Coastal Hazard Adaptation Plan which aims to set out long-term mitigation strategies to reduce the effects of rising sea levels on coastal communities.
The association says they believe Noosa Shire Council is acting hastily on the issue and that while they support climate science, they think trends in sea level rises should instead be left and observed over the coming years and decades.
