Noosa Heads Rotary Club has found a new home at Tait-Duke Community Cottage.
The Rotary club this week signed a lease for the council property, which it will manage and make available to other local groups and agencies.
It comes ahead of Tait-Duke Community Cottage’s official opening next week.
Rotary club president Jim Bennett said the organisation would use the cottage, on Earl Street at Tewantin, as a base for its community work.
“We are looking to provide more support for a range of local issues, and currently we’re in talks with United Synergies, Orange Sky Laundry and other agencies as to how we may be able to help out,” Mr Bennett said.
The Rotary club was one of several organisations involved in the cottage restoration project.
Noosa Heads Rotary will move into Tait-Duke Community Cottage once work is complete. Mayor Tony Wellington will officially open the building on 7 June.
“With the refurbishment complete and the new manager in place, the council looks forward to seeing Tait-Duke Community Cottage become a well-used community asset.” the mayor said.
“I would also like to take the opportunity to thank all of the organisations and businesses who have contributed volunteer time and donated goods to help refurbish the building – it looks magnificent.”
Jim said Rotary was committed to making Tait-Duke Community Cottage a plastic-waste-free zone.
