Campground amenities upgrade now complete

Modern new amenities, complete with family bathrooms and additional unisex toilets await guests at Boreen Point Campground from today.
The refurbishment is an initiative of the Queensland Government, delivered as part of a $2 million Unite and Recover funding package for Noosa.
Mayor Clare Stewart said the project delivered a more functional layout, plus new tiles, paint, benches, sinks and mirrors among other fixtures and fittings.
“Boreen Point Campground welcomes more than 9000 visitors every year,” she said.
“These new facilities will ensure guests enjoy a more contemporary, comfortable, safe and family-friendly holiday experience for many years to come.” Read more.
