TUESDAY, 1 NOVEMBER 2022
The annual Noosa Biosphere Gala celebrates our community’s commitment to biodiversity conservation and sustainability excellence, as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Celebrated on the first Tuesday of November, the fundraising luncheon recognises the International Day for Biosphere Reserves and each year raises support for an important issue of the Noosa Biosphere Reserve community and environment.
The Noosa Biosphere Gala returns for its annual celebration of our UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and presentation of the Noosa Biosphere Awards 2022. This year’s Gala theme is Grow for Noosa – supporting the growth of a vibrant and sustainable food and agriculture economy in the Noosa region. How can we build resilience as a community and secure a strong food future for our region? Join the Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation, local foodie panel, and special guests as we celebrate local produce and growing Noosa’s food future.
*The Noosa Biosphere Gala will be Matt Golinkski’s last event at View Restaurant – don’t miss your chance to taste one of Matt’s fresh and seasonal dishes at View!

Noosa is renowned for its world class food and dining culture that celebrates locally grown, seasonal produce. In the face of a changing climate and global economic events, the urgency for food security and resilience in regional communities is building. Today, a new breed of regenerative farmers are taking up the tools and giving rise to a new vision for our food future: to create a productive, regenerative agriculture economy in the Noosa region.
The Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation is launching the Grow for Noosa Fund, providing seed-funding to stimulate rural enterprise and initiatives that will help build a vibrant, productive and sustainable food and agriculture economy in the region. You can help contribute to a strong food future by supporting this year’s Noosa Biosphere Gala ‘Grow for Noosa’. Together we can help our farmers, growers and producers to grow for Noosa.
The Noosa Biosphere Awards returns for its second year in 2022. Four category winners will be announced in a special ceremony as part of the Noosa Biosphere Gala in November.
