Permaculture Noosa, a group of Permaculturists in Southeast Queensland. Permaculture Noosa was founded in 1995 by Geoff Lawton, the director of the Permaculture Research Institute in The Channon, Australia. Permaculture Noosa holds a monthly gathering the third Thursday of each month in the town of Noosa, open to everyone. About 60 to 70 of the 120 members attend the monthly gatherings.
A typical gathering includes a market with a recycling area and free stalls for farm stales, and a Q&A table for information exchange. A guest speaker is usually followed by talks given by members, usually with a plant profile. Recent topics have included soil and water heath, seed-saving, and homemade gray-water systems.
Permaculture Noosa maintains a library and an educational trailer sponsored by a local government grant. They offer a weekend introduction to Permaculture course taught several times each year. The groups also organize “work bee” events, which they call PET (Permaculture Energy Transfer), held each month at a member’s property.
