Sunshine Coast Council has advised that they have commissioned a consultant to undertake preliminary design options for an amenities building, new sealed car park and connection of services near the entrance to the Mount Coolum National Park.
This work has to occur before the cost can be determined and funding sought but is a step in the right direction.
The Sunshine Coast community loves Mount Coolum, but the lack of amenities is an issue causing detrimental impact to the local environment as well as upon visitors’ comfort. Getting the location and design right also needs to take into account minimising impact on the local residents. As more information is to hand, I will report back.
