Fiona Simpson has confirmed that construction of new toilet amenities for visitors to Mount Coolum
National Park will commence next week.
Ms Simpson said the new amenities represent a $425,000 investment in the first Budget of the
Crisafulli Government, as well as a contribution from the Sunshine Coast Council.
“After many years of advocating for this much-needed project and calling on the former government
to deliver, I am incredibly proud that this Government has not only committed the funding, but is
getting on with the job,” Ms Simpson said.
“Mount Coolum National Park is an iconic destination for the Sunshine Coast and for Queensland.
These amenities will benefit local residents, visitors and the environment.
“This is about delivering practical infrastructure that will benefit local residents, support tourism,
protect the environment and will improve the experience for the thousands of people who visit this
national park each year.”
The project marks a significant milestone for the national park visitors, ensuring modern, accessible
amenities that support the park’s status as one of the Sunshine Coast’s most popular natural
attractions.
Construction is expected to be completed within 10 weeks, weather permitting.
