During her budget reply speech, Sandy highlighted that Noosa Council is receiving funding an all-abilities toilet facility for Gympie Terrace.

After the 2024 State Election, we followed up on the state government’s commitment to fund this project including requesting a timeline on delivery and whether it will be planned in conjunction with Noosa Council involving community consultation.

Following this and as mentioned above, Sandy received an update from the Minister for Local Government that the funding has now been made available to Noosa Council and the minister’s department will work with them. While the project is being funded under a Queensland Government’s funding program, Noosa Council has responsibility for delivery. The minister has stated that this funding represents a significant opportunity to support improvements to existing or future council infrastructure to meet the identified needs of our community.

Sandy thanks Minister Leahy for reaffirming the commitment to deliver this for Noosa residents. Upgrades in accessibility for all of our community are welcomed and confirmation of this funding very appreciated.

Noosa Council is conducting information pop up sessions at Quota Park (opposite The Big Pelican), Gympie Terrace on Thurs 28 August at 10am and Tues 2 September at 4pm.
