Safer school routes – Have Your Say
COUNCIL has been meeting with schools to discuss the RideScore Program and how we can better plan for safer active transport around schools. In 2026, Pacific Paradise State School will join this fantastic program.
The RideScore Active Schools Program encourages children to choose active, sustainable ways to travel to and from school, like bike riding, scooting and skating. The benefits are great and help students stay active while reducing traffic congestion and emissions around schools.
Pacific Paradise State school parents and carers are encouraged to complete a short survey and tell us where you think new paths or crossings are needed to help kids walk or ride to school safely. Your feedback will help shape future infrastructure planning.

Greenoaks Drive Pathway Coming Soon
Exciting news for Coolum walkers and cyclists! A new 1.8-metre-wide pathway will soon stretch 247 metres along Greenoaks Drive, connecting existing footpaths at Yungar Street. Construction begins later this month, and we expect completion within three weeks, weather permitting. This is part of Council’s ongoing commitment to improving connectivity across our region.
Birrahl Park Yaroomba – now open
The Birrahl Park playground renewal is now complete and open for play. With brand-new equipment, softfall and a newly planted tree, this space is ready for families to enjoy.
Pet Registration – a small cost for big benefits
As a proud pet parent myself, I know how important it is to keep our furry friends safe. Pet registration helps reunite lost pets and funds vital education programs. Renewal notices are on their way to owners of over 65,000 registered pets across the Sunshine Coast. Visit Council’s website and search “pet registration” to renew before September 30.
