Tourism Noosa responded by sponsoring Noosa Villages Tourism Funding Boost Initiative that has stumped up $40,000 for an electronic touch screen information kiosk outside the Pomona IGA supermarket and a tourist information booth at Kin Kin.
Mr Moran said the investment would provide comprehensive holiday and visitor assistance designed to keep tourists spending and staying longer in the region. Making the great escape – a procession of Noosa walkers near Kin Kin.
“These information dissemination points at both ends of our region will promote authentic, sustainable and nature-based tourism experiences that define our hinterland holiday offering,” Mr Moran said.
“The information nodes augment the distribution of 60,000 printed maps of the Noosa Country Drive annually and the associated app that visitors can download to personalise their tour and stay.
It was a big step to reinstate a Pomona Chamber and bring in other communities, but in the end we realised that our future is together, linked by initiatives such as the Noosa Country Drive and the Noosa Trail Network upgrade, Mr Moran said. A chamber representing the whole region allows us to become a unified voice when dealing with the council and other levels of government. Sensible growth and development is inevitable, but it must not come at a cost to what we have now. Mr Moran said a main aim of the chamber was to preserve the hinterland lifestyle and scale of development.
SNH vice-president Deidre Marczynski said the mental health effects of these trucks on residents and local businesses was just heartbreaking . Save Noosa Hinterland reckons there are serious cracks appearing in their roads which are designed to take a pounding from quarry trucks. This surface joins a local bridge. She said this latest action was all about people power looking to prevail. We re dealing with this daily onslaught of trucks on our hinterland roads, Ms Marczynski said. This year it s just ramped up to a ridiculous level and the roads are not fit for purpose. The community cannot handle any more of this, it s just relentless, she said.
