What each councillor has declared in the register of interests council publishes.
Gifts to Noosa councillors
A gift to a councillor is recorded in two places. Councillors declare gifts of $500 or more, and sponsored travel and hospitality, in the register of interests council publishes. Gifts towards an election campaign are disclosed to the Electoral Commission of Queensland. This page puts the two side by side, one councillor at a time.
Two records, not one list. An election gift can appear in both, worded differently, or in only one. We have not matched or merged them: each row is shown as its own source records it, linked to that source.
Who is here. People who have sat on Noosa Council since 2016. ECQ's system also lists candidates who were not elected; they are not on this site. Its electronic records begin in 2015; returns for earlier elections are on ECQ's archive page and are not included. Council publishes registers of interest for sitting councillors only. ECQ figures as at 3 October 2026.
