THE MISSING link along South Coolum Road has been signed off with Cr Taylor Bunnag and community members officially declaring open the new pathway link between Scottlynd St and Warrack St along the busy southern thoroughfare.

After more than a decade of advocacy from Coolum locals Cr Bunnag said it was a great achievement to finally have this critical piece of infrastructure finally completed and open.

“You told me it was a priority, and I worked to deliver it!”

“We know there are other sections of pathway that are needed in other places like this, but this was always going to be one of the most difficult sections of pathway to deliver locally.

“It’s now done and opens up other opportunities for people to get around the area.”

The pathway will mean residents and kids can safely walk or ride to school and the shops.

Cr Bunnag was also complimentary to those who helped get the project literally off the ground.

“In this job, we don’t deliver projects on our own. So thank you to the people in Council who have made it happen, the whole TNO team and my Councillor colleagues.

“I also acknowledge the State Government, which, in August 2024, provided grant funding towards this project.”
