In March 2008, the Sunshine Coast Regional Council was formed merging the former shires of Noosa and Maroochy and Caloundra City. In 2013 Noosa de-amalgamated, but is still part of the Sunshine Coast region.architectassociation withearly 21st centuryenvironmentalflatsexamplehistorical photosinter warindigenouslandscapelate 20th centurylighthouselocal listinglostmaritimemodifiedmonumentmountainpathwaypost WW2shipwreckshopstate listingvegetationview toview fromwater featureworld war twoetc1890s 1940s 1950s1960s 1970s 1980s1990s 2000s 2010s

A project by the Friends of the Caloundra Lighthouses (link to their page on this site)

to record our local history and heritage places



see 3 Canberra Tce for the Lighthouses on this site

See our interviews with visitors to the lighthouses

talking about the history of Caloundra









The first project for sunshinecoastplaces was to investigate post WW2 development,

including a pilot study of Moffat Beach

Financed by a grant from the Sunshine Coast Council

It is hoped the site will continue to record a wide range of significant places on the Coast

Oct 2018 Hi Roger,

My husband Jim and I met you this morning at the lighthouse.

This is a photo we have of looking down to Kings Beach. It’s taken on the top of Edmund Street, where the roundabout is now, adjoining King Street. The date on the photo is October 1981.

We hope this is a new photo for you to add to the collection.

It was nice meeting you this morning, seeing the lighthouse and walking back down memory lane viewing all the photos.

Kind regards,

Jim & Janine Stanley July 2018 Thanks Ric for your Digital Eyes 360 degree photo of the lighthouses volunteers

April 2018 Congratulations to River for his interview on Totally Wild. Click the image to go to the video

For 70 years the little Caloundra lighthouse acted as a guide to ships passing through the dangerous reefs and sandbanks to the port of Brisbane. After being replaced by a modern light she was moved to Golden Beach. She became a rusty ruin. Early one morning she feared the worst.

Donna Grigor‎ to Caloundra Lighthouses. I'm posting this for Mr Ron Trim of Woodford. It was his families cottage purchased in 1936. They called it Kozy Kot. It was on the corner of Orama Ave and Bombala Terrace. The builders name was Sumpton. On the left hand side of the photo you can just see the light house

Oct 2014 - Loaded some more interviews including with Rod Fuller, Whose Dad was Caloundra Keeper in 1934. As a child, Rod remembers bullock teams in Bulcock St. Rod joined the Lighthouse Service and worked at the Depot at Newfarm, and remembers driving to Caloundra to servicing the diesel motor.

Thanks also to Graeme Davis, from Lighhouses of Australia who have been digitally recording sections of AMSA’s records. Graeme has provided a number of records relating to Caloundra. I have added a "Research" page for the Lighthouses for them and other items.

April 2014 - The Post WW2 Development on the Coast and Moffat Beach Pilot Study wins a Commendation and is the Regional Project of the Year at the Sunshine Coast Australian Institute of Architects awards. The Project will then go on to the awards at State level. see News

Jury Citation: It is hoped this unique study and website will alert council, architects, building designers, town planners and the general public to the long term advantages in better conservation of post-World War 2 heritage. It provides inspiration for new works and adaptive reuse and a platform to continue recording built history and heritage







Feb 2014 - two projects looking at post WW2 development are receiving press coverage. Fibro Coast is a touring exhibition presenting the artistic, cultural and design story of the humble Fibro beach house, and Memorably Moffat - "The documented heritage study contained in the Sunshine Coast Places website (http://www.sunshinecoastplaces.com.au/ home) establishes the groundwork for this project. The project will further document traditional Caloundra beach houses, the interiors, important features, and associated stories. Each location will be added to a HistoryPin site developed to map the sites and share them more broadly. People associated with Moffat Beach will be interviewed and their stories and memories of these special places will be recorded on film. The film will be launched at an event set in a Moffat Beach backyard. The event will be a 1950s themed celebration and feature a screening of the film, and a story performance"
