Delivering more for Coolum
THE Coolum Pump Track and Coolum Beach Accessible Ramp are one step closer to reality thanks to grant funding successes! Council applied for grants under the Southeast Queensland Community Stimulus Program in order to fund a pump track near the half-court basketball court and to reconstruct one of the beach accesses near the surf club to make it more accessible. I’m looking forward to working with kids in the community on the pump track design.
Second bay beach access almost complete
The new beach access stairs are almost complete and will be ready for your summer sunrise walks. The contractor is roughly 80 per cent through the build, and construction is going well.

Give a sheet for the planet this National Recycling Week!
Spring is the perfect time to clean out those forgotten shelves and give those old sheets a second chance at life. To celebrate National Recycling Week, Sunshine Coast Council and Noosa Council have teamed up with BlockTexx to hold a community textile recycling event, ‘Give a Sheet® for the Planet’. It was a fantastic event last year and it’s great to be able to host it again in 2024. Simply clean out your linen cupboards and drop off approved items at Chancellor State College, Secondary Campus, Sippy Downs Drive, Sippy Downs or The J Noosa, 60 Noosa Drive, Noosa Heads on November 16.
All donated linen will be converted into valuable, high-grade recycled materials by BlockTexx to be used by Australian manufacturers to create new products. These include hydro-mulch, geosynthetic fabrics and building materials.
