Sod turned on multi-million dollar Hinterland Adventure playground

Work has officially begun on the multi-million dollar Hinterland Adventure playground at Cooroy.

Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart joined Member for Nicklin Robert Skelton for the sod turning on Friday, signalling the start of this landmark project.

Council awarded Aspect Contractors a $3.76M contract to design and build the new all-abilities Hinterland Adventure Playground.

This is a six month construction project, jointly funded by Noosa Council and the Queensland Government.

Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart previously said Council hoped to have the project finished for Christmas.

“We’ll be doing all we can to get the playground completed in December to give local and visiting children a treat in time for the festive season,” she said.

Designs for the all-abilities playground include a double flying-fox, climbing tower with slide, climbing structures with swings, water play area, picnic shelters and an amenities block.

As part of the development, Cooroy will also gain new car parking spaces and new public toilet facilities, which the community asked for.
