STAGE one redevelopment of the old Daddows’ parking lot in Cooroy into a part-time pop-up pizza shop is nearly complete.

Mobile Pizza Owner Rocky bought the block on Maple Street over a year ago with plans to transform it into a beautifully landscaped pizza and ice cream parlour.

Rocky said that after months of hard work - and rain - they had nearly finished.

“We have been serving our delicious wood-fired pizzas on Fridays and Sundays.”

“The 108-year-old train carriage that we hope to use as an ice cream shop, has been painted and moved into place. "We’re just putting the finishing touches on it, and waiting for approval of the application that we have lodged with Council.”

Rocky said that he was very happy with how the block was looking.

“We’ve completed Stage One of the landscaping with lots of pots and plants. "It’s looking nice. We’ve tried to keep the flavour of the town.”

Rocky is inviting everyone to join them on Thursday June 2, from 5.31pm to 7.30pm, for a couple of pizza slices.

“Anyone is welcome to come down and have a free slice of premium woodfired pizza and check out what we’ve done with the old Daddows parking lot.”

From train carriage to ice cream shop. The journey continues for this 108-year-old train carriage now parked at Cooroy.

Wet weather wreaks havoc on Botanic Gardens maintenance

A NOOSA Botanic Gardens visitor says she is “terribly disappointed” by the condition of the gardens,but Council says the wet weather has been “challenging”.

Jeannine Sewell said she visited the gardens regularly and was "terribly disappointed by their “deplorable state”.

“As Noosa prioritises tourism and claims to market its assets, the deplorable state of these gardens is accordingly both incongruous and unacceptable.”

Jeannine said that weeds, leaf litter and fallen branches suggested a lack of care.

“The area immediately below the amphitheatre is weed-infested, while paths are littered with palm fronds and leaf litter. The water flow in the creek is impeded by fallen branches and fronds and the general appearance suggests a lack of interest and care.”

“Council’s failure to properly develop and maintain this asset is both disappointing and unacceptable.”

But Noosa Council said Botanic Gardens staff worked extremely hard to maintain the gardens.

“The recent flooding and wet weather have certainly been challenging for all our parks staff, and council officers are continuing to maintain the area in liaison with our wonderful garden volunteers in order to provide a pleasant experience.”

Noosa Council continues to develop and maintain the gardens with help from Friends of the Botanic Gardens.

Friends of the Botanic Gardens, as volunteers, assist with maintenance such as planting, pruning, weeding, mulching and general tidying, propagating plants for planting out in the gardens and for sale to the general public to raise funds to improve the gardens. They also provide seasonal guided walks of the gardens.”

The Friends are always looking for new volunteers to assist them on Thursday mornings and to help run events and workshops.
