Work will start soon on the new Cooloola Great Walk, allowing visitors to enjoy the spectacular beauty of Rainbow Beach and the upper Noosa River, Minister for Sustainability, Climate Change and Innovation, Andrew McNamara, announced today.
Mr McNamara said the Cooloola walk is one of four new Great Walks to be constructed at a cost of $6.5 million. The others are at Conondale Range, Carnarvon and the Whitsunday Islands.
“The Cooloola Great Walk will showcase the Noosa North Shore, Rainbow Beach and Freshwater,” Mr McNamara said.
“The walk highlights many of the iconic features that have made Cooloola a popular tourist destination.
“It will provide a network of walking tracks linking the very best of Cooloola’s outstanding natural and cultural attractions, providing walks of varying distance and difficulty.
“Visitors will be able to enjoy spectacular views at Teewah beach and Double Island Point, and the natural beauty of heathland plains, perched lakes, and coloured sands.”
Camping grounds will be situated at various locations along the walk including sites near Mt Seawah, Upper Noosa River and Lake Cooloomera.
“As with all of the Great Walks thorough community consultation involving local councils, community groups, environmental groups, Traditional Owners, government departments and other stakeholders is continuing,” Mr McNamara said.
Construction on the Cooloola Great Walk is due for completion in 2009.”
