COOROORA MASONIC LODGE

             To Whom It May Concern

             tam 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 bullding as an 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 recognised 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
             PUCIAEL
