Australian Government funds $1.6 million upgrades to Noosa regional trail destination
What happened
The Australian Government has provided $1.6 million through its Growing Regions Program for the Noosa Regional Trail Upgrade. The project involved improvements to Cootharaba Lookout, which was formerly known as Shepperson's Lookout, and is part of the broader Woondum and Wahpunga trail experiences. The upgrades include new picnic seating, a relocated shade structure, upgraded water facilities, a horse hitching post, and bollards to restrict unauthorized vehicle access.
