A comprehensive schedule of participation opportunities will take place this year. The Mount Ninderry Environmental Reserve Landscape Plan is currently open for feedback until July 15 and is asking for our community to share stories of their visit to the mountain.
Lions Norrie Job Park upgrade
The Lions Norrie Job Park upgrade has begun! The park will be piped with drainage, filled and levelled which will give us back so much extra open space in the park to kick a ball or have a picnic on. There will also be upgrades to the exercise equipment, barbeque shelters and pathways. Thank-you for your patience as construction progresses.
Nambour to Coolum Trail
It was great to be at a recent meeting to discuss the challenges and path forward for the Nambour to Coolum trail. While it’s clear this is a complex project that will take some time to be developed, there was still plenty of enthusiasm in the room. I’ll keep you updated as the project progresses.
Other local updates
Stage one of the Lows Lookout Trail begins in July. The trail will run from the junction of Scrub Road and Grandview Drive, along the road reserve up to the first driveway. There are also plans for future stages two and three. The Tickle Park shade sail extension is up, and some of the play equipment in the park will be replaced soon. The Jack Morgan Park amenities are open, and the Coolum Learn to Swim pool curtains have been replaced and look fantastic.
A little further afield, if you are an experienced bushwalker, I’d encourage you to try the new Lake Weyba trail with the incredible new bridge. I’ve had a lot of great feedback so far.
