RACV Noosa Resort has been proudly supporting local not-for-profit charity, Wildlife Noosa, over the past two years with a combined donation of $10,000, helping the organisation to expand its efforts in wildlife rescues and conservation.
The resort’s $5,000 donation in 2024 allowed Wildlife Noosa to fit its pontoon boat with the necessary equipment required to carry out water rescues of seabirds, turtles and other native aquatic animals and will also be used for river clean-ups and local conservation projects.
RACV Noosa Resort Manager Darren McClenaghan said it’s great to support a local charity whose mission it is to help maintain the beauty and wildlife that Noosa is renowned for.
“It’s rewarding to know that we are contributing to Wildlife Noosa’s mission of providing resources to alleviate the suffering of animals and preserve the diversity of wildlife on the beautiful Sunshine Coast,” he said.
Mr McClenaghan said the resort is taking the opportunity to connect resort guests with the charity’s mission.
“We’re creating awareness of Wildlife Noosa and offering guests the option to forgo a day’s housekeeping service in exchange for RACV Noosa Resort donating $10 to Wildlife Noosa.”
Chief Rescue Officer and Founder of Wildlife Noosa, William Watson, said RACV’s recent donation and ongoing support will enable his team to continue care within the aquatic area of the organisation.
“Through RACV Noosa Resort’s contribution to our pontoon boat equipment, we now have better capability to access, rescue and provide immediate care to wild and domestic animals that are ill, injured or at risk of injury in the greater Noosa region,” he said.
“As a not-for-profit, we rely on the donations and sustained support of local businesses like RACV Noosa Resort to continue providing these wildlife rescues to the region for decades to come.”
RACV’s 10 Resorts and Clubs across Victoria, Tasmania, and Queensland are proud to support and donate to a local charity of their choosing each year to give back to their community and create positive impact in a meaningful way.
