Pump Track initial works
YOU’LL see some construction start at the Pump Track site in Lions & Norrie Job Park. These preliminary works involve the relocation of UnityWater infrastructure. There will be some impact on roadside parking, and the site will be closed off to the public during construction.
Proposed Planning Scheme
The changes in the Proposed Planning Scheme for the Coolum-Peregian Local Plan Area reflect the recent development that has already occurred in the Peregian communities. There are changes to the Coolum Industrial Estate and a new Low-Medium Density Residential Zone around Coolum township, changing heights from 8.5m to three storeys and 12m. It is important for you to have your say on this planning scheme, as other communities are lobbying hard to have no change, which could inadvertently have a negative impact on communities such as Peregian and Coolum.

From native plants to fungi, students are encouraged to observe and create realistic artworks that tell the story of nature. Finalists could win a prize and will be featured in a summer exhibition at the Maroochy Regional Bushland Botanic Garden.
