Answering nature’s call now easier at popular trail

Climbers, walkers and nature lovers can now enjoy a more comfortable visit to Mount Coolum, with new public amenities officially complete and open to the community.

The new facilities are located beside the car park at the base of Mount Coolum and are set to make a difference for the thousands of people who tackle the popular Mount Coolum National Park track each month. 

The modular amenities block includes a unisex Persons with Disability (PWD) toilet and three unisex ambulant cubicles, providing much‑needed convenience at one of the Sunshine Coast’s busiest natural attractions. 

Division 8 Councillor Taylor Bunnag said the completion of the project was a great outcome for locals and visitors. 

“Mount Coolum is one of the most loved walks on the Sunshine Coast, and this is something the community has been asking for, for a long time,” Cr Bunnag said. 

“As someone who regularly climbs the mountain with my family, I know how important it is to have toilets nearby – especially when the closest facilities used to be two kilometres away. 

“These new amenities make visiting Mount Coolum more comfortable and more welcoming for everyone.” 

Cr Bunnag thanked the Queensland Government for its financial support in delivering the project.

Designed for comfort, safety and sustainability 

The prefabricated amenities block was designed with visitor safety in mind.  

The open and accessible layout helps people feel safe and comfortable while using the facilities. 

The building is also powered by its own solar system, supporting Council’s commitment to sustainable infrastructure. 

The Crisafulli Government worked in collaboration with Sunshine Coast Council to deliver it.
