Subscriber only A push by industry groups for a return to normal major event numbers is an existential threat to shire residents, according to a Cooroy community leader. Cooroy Area Residents Association president Rod Ritchie said his members supported a Noosa Council staff recommendation to hold the line on the council s cautious approach to limit major events to less than 500 people. Councillors are due to vote at a special meeting on Tuesday on whether or not to allow an increase to event limits for events like the Noosa Triathlon. Mr Ritchie said allowing a high intake of Noosa outsiders when there was very low rates of testing would mean a relatively poor chance of detecting a coronavirus outbreak.

I would think we d be looking and the minimum investment in the building of $3 million. Mixed development is not all that easy to pull together, but we think that s worked well for that space - hopefully it fits with what Cooroy s all about because it s just a nice place to live, Mr Schuh said. This new complex will be built at the former Energex depot site. Councillor Brian Stockwell said the project would contribute to a character refresh of that side of town.
