Sustainability Officer

Why do I need a Sustainability Officer or Green Team Leader?

A plastic free event or market will require a coordinated approach between your team and you will need to communicate your actions to all people, pre, during and post event.

Tourism Noosa sponsored events require adherence to our Sustainability Policy and Agenda. In order for your event to comply with our environmental requirements, we strongly suggest there is one team member or a team of members who understand the requirements and can communicate your event’s compliance.

Tourism Noosa sponsored events require event managers to liaise with the TN Sustainable Event Manager and Plastic Free Noosa to ensure best practice.
