               To Whom It May Concern
               lam pleased to lend support to an application by Noosa Shire Museum (Cooroora Historical Society
               Inc.) which seeks funds from the Noosa Council Heritage Levy for the acquisition of Cooroora
               Masonic Lodge. The Cooroora Masonic Lodge was built in 1923 in Station Street Pomona. It was
               heritage listed in 2003, recognising the importance of it’s Masonic murals, painted in 1928. If
               successful, | understand that the Noosa Shire Museum would use the building as a annexe to the
               existing Museum building in Factory Street, which would be open to visitors and provide much
               needed additional space for it’s growing historical collections.

               The addition of the Cooroora Masonic Lodge as a community-owned heritage building would bring
               great value to the Pomona and Noosa regional community. Pomona is already recognized for the
               importance of it’s heritage buildings and providing a unique and attractive drawcard for visitors to
               our region.

               | fully support the Noosa Shire Museum in it’s quest to deliver the Cooroora Masonic Lodge into
               community hands and secure the future of this important building.

               Yours sincerely
               Peter Zipf (Store Owner)
