New lights for Havana Road East pathway
HAVANA Road East is a popular pathway for exercising, commuting to school, accessing public transport, and it connects Peregian Springs and Coolum Beach. To improve safety and visibility, Council will install solar bollard lights along this pathway, supporting sustainability goals and reducing energy consumption. The project will start on April 10, 2025, and is expected to be completed within two weeks, weather permitting. Property access and parking will remain unaffected, and traffic management measures will ensure the safety of all road users and construction workers. Thank you for your patience and cooperation during this period.
CoastSnap
Did you know that you can help us to monitor changes to the beaches along our coastline? Council has three existing CoastSnap stations that can be used by anyone to snap and submit photos of the beaches at a point in time. These photos can be analysed and combined to show sand volume and movement over time, allowing us to monitor the health of the beach. You can find the CoastSnap location at Coolum (Beach Access 77).
Your views on libraries
Sunshine Coast Libraries offer more than just books, providing spaces for relaxation, learning, workshops, and creative activities for all ages. Council is seeking your input for the Sunshine Coast Library Services Plan 2025-2035, a strategic plan to guide library services over the next decade. There are eight library branches – including Coolum, a heritage library, two mobile libraries, and an eLibrary. I encourage you to share your ideas to help shape the future of library services to ensure they continue to meet our community’s evolving needs. Visit haveyoursay.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au to before May 5.
