Making the mountain more accessible

Key points

• Tamborine Mountain's Dapsang Drive amenities have been upgraded to include accessible facilities, funded by the Scenic Rim Council. The new complex, costing $515,000, features five unisex toilets, including one for disabled access, and a footwash tap for bushwalkers.
• Mayor Tom Sharp emphasised the importance of inclusive infrastructure for the growing community and increasing visitors. Councillor Amanda Hay praised the project, urging respect for shared community assets.
• The upgrade addresses the needs of up to 400 daily users during peak times, replacing a 10-year-old pump out facility.
