HIDDEN GEM ON NOOSA RIVER

Work to replace the existing Wahpunga Lane Bridge in Kin Kin is underway and, weather and construction conditions permitting, will be completed in approximately four months.

What better way could there be to take in some art and culture than to enjoy a relaxed stroll along the sweeping Noosa River, duck indoors to wander amongst the ambitiously scaled ‘More than the sum of its parts’ exhibition and Trevor Purvis’ ‘Australian Sienna’ at the leading public gallery on the Sunshine Coast.

The bridge is a key connector between Sister Tree Creek Road and Gympie-Kin Kin Road. The single-lane bridge provides access to Kin Kin and users of the Noosa Trail Network.

Perched on the banks of the picturesque Noosa River in Tewantin, and just a stone’s throw from Noosa Marina’s restaurants and cafes, Noosa Regional Gallery boasts an ever-changing program of contemporary art exhibitions featuring local, national and international artists.

The timber bridge was identified as a high priority for replacement based on a condition assessment. Reusable timber parts of the existing timber bridge will be salvaged and used in other council projects.
