Dear Monument Australia visitors, we are a self-funded, non-profit organisation, dedicated to recording monuments throughout Australia. Over time the costs of maintaining this website have risen substantially (in fact they are probably larger than those of many companies who exist for profit). In the past we have borne all the costs associated with maintaining the website but we are now having difficulties in paying the monthly expenses.
If Monument Australia is useful to you, please make a donation to keep this historical and educational resource available. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Dedication
Friends of Noosa
This plaque records the incredible role played by the Friends of Noosa in the re-establishment of Noosa`s Council.
Friends of Noosa was a community organisation formed in 2007 to fight the forced amalgamation of Noosa, Maroochy and Caloundra Councils. Friends of Noosa had more than 2000 members, with Bob Ansettt the movement`s public face.
Although Council amalgamation went ahead in 2008, Friends of Noosa continued its relentless campaign for the return of Noosa` Council. Six years on, the State Government yielded and provided a referendum enabling the electorate to say Yes or No to our right to self-govern.
On the 9th March 2013, residents voted overwwhelmingly to reinstate Noosa Council, with the new Council up and running on the 1st of January 2014.
This plaque honours the efforts of Friends of Noosa, its allies, and the exceptional spirit of the Noosa community.
