Our Mission

CRA is a local community organisation that aims to identify and promote sustainable opportunities to preserve and enhance amenity and facilities, and promote local artists in the Coolum Beach and nearby areas.

Our Motivation

Coolum Residents Association has a long history of ‘loving’ Coolum with ideas and action.  
A subcommittee of the former CRA started the highly valued Coolum Cliffs Boardwalk project in June 2000. CRA is still striving to help Coolum and currently has four themes that it is wanting to explore and progress.

Themes

CRA themes are Transport, especially seeking to progress active transport links. 

Art and Culture, which is looking to discover opportunities for activating art and the creation of visual assets within Coolum.

Nambour to Coolum Trail - N2C

CRA’s initiative to get the Nambour to Coolum (N2C) Trail constructed is making progress with a Joint Working Group (JWG) drawn together to work with council and identify opportunities for funding and advocacy.  More N2C Info
