Trail 5 – Cooroora Trail Upgrade
Noosa Council has completed a $1.68M upgrade of the Cooroora Trail. Upgrade works included trail
realignments, selective widening, resurfacing, drainage and new wayfinding and interpretive
signage. There were also investment works at Pioneer Park, Cooran, Cooroora Mountain Park and
Stan Topper Park, Pomona, in addition to renewal of the Cooran horse yards.
This upgrade is the first project to come out of the Noosa Trails Masterplan designed to improve
town connectivity, increase the use of the trails for educational and recreational use, drive tourism
and enhance their effectiveness as fire breaks throughout the bushland.
The project received $1.61 million in funding from the Australian and Queensland Governments’
Local Economic Recovery (LER) Program through Category D of the Disaster Recovery Funding
Arrangements.




Cooroy Library Shade Structure

To improve the user experience of the Cooroy Library children’s outdoor area and provide important
protection from the sun, Council completed the installation of two cantilevered shade structures and
replaced the synthetic turf. These works were funded by Council in the 2022/23 capital works
program.
