Boonah Organisation for a Sustainable Shire (BOSS)


This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it Website The Boonah Organisation for a Sustainable Shire (BOSS) focuses on the values, principles, and aspirations which underpin a sustainable future for Boonah and beyond. The group consists of a broad cross section of the community who share that common vision. BOSS was established in 2006 in the wake of concerns regarding environmental, planning and development issues which were surfacing in the Shire. Letters to the local paper and discussion highlighted that community members wanted a sustainable future and a voice. An independent consensus building mechanism which was ‘all of community’ open and inclusive was required and BOSS was born.

BOSS is committed to ensuring its community has a vibrant, caring and green future with a visible connection and celebration of its past and the natural environment.
It achieves this by:

  • Creating a collective community voice to promote shared values principles, and aspirations
  • Engaging and interacting with our community, our community groups our regional council, state and Federal Governments
  • Practically applying sustainable approaches to life resulting in a collective lighter touch upon the earth
  • Understanding from little things big things grow
  • Providing a forum where creative ideas can take root, be supported and grow into viable local solutions
  • Empowering the next generation with the skills and courage to live more wisely and less selfishly
  • Understanding the shared responsibility for the present and future well being of our local community and the larger living world
  • Recognising ongoing connection with a unique local identity is a vital element in growing sustainable communities
  • Encouraging and supporting local business activity, ways of living and future planning models which incorporates a sustainable ethos and adopts a triple bottom line approach to determine success, and
  • Working to provide a sustainable legacy for future generations
Not for profit enterprise based in the South East Queensland Scenic Rim Regional Council
