PARK CONCEPT ON THE WAY

Lions And Norrie Job Park

In the coming months we’ll be sharing the concept design for the upgrade of this muchloved Coolum park.

Based on the outcomes of previous community engagement, including the recently added basketball court, the design enhances what people already love about the park.

The concept design also addresses some of the challenges including drainage and making the space more usable.

Watch this space and register your email address with the project team if you wish to be kept informed. Email your details to LionsandNorrieJobPark@sunshinecoast.qld. gov.au
