Cooroy RV Stop opens this weekend

Noosa Council will open a trial RV stop in Cooroy from 12 December to support hinterland tourism.

The Cooroy RV Stop, at 17 Mary River Road, offers motorhome travellers easy access to Cooroy from the highway and serves as a gateway to Noosa’s hinterland, complementing Tourism Noosa’s new Noosa Country Drive initiative.

The facility caters for up to 40 fully self-contained recreational vehicles (RVs), and includes a chemical toilet dump point.

Noosa Council Executive Officer Narelle Reid said Council saw the project as an economic development opportunity for the town.

“The local chamber of commerce, community groups and residents called for an RV stop in Cooroy to encourage the growing motorhome tourist market to stop in and explore Noosa’s hinterland,” she says.

“Council is pleased to be able to support economic development in Cooroy and surrounding towns with this initiative, which we hope fulfils a need for a low-cost no-frills option for self-drive visitors to explore Cooroy and other towns.”

Council chose the Mary River Road site, behind the Combined Coastal Car Club premises, for its location, which is within walking distance of Cooroy’s main street.

Council will assess the RV Stop’s success in 12 months.

The RV Stop, which a caretaker will manage, offers fully self-contained RVs a maximum four-night stay at $10 per vehicle per night.
