Noosa and its community has protected its natural environment and resisted proposed sand mining and over-development by creating significant areas of national park. Noosa Council implemented sustainability planning policies such as traffic management, limits on high-rise buildings and population density.

Noosa's ongoing commitment to managing its development while protecting the natural environment has been recognised by the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO). The entire local government area was declared a biosphere reserve at a meeting in Paris, France, in September 2007.
