Sunshine Butterflies is set to welcome the community to its 6ha space in Cooroibah to celebrate the official opening of its new Self-Guided Accessible Pathway.
The Community Open Day will be held on Wednesday, April 1, from 9.30am-12.30pm.
The pathway will be officially opened at 10am by Noosa MP Sandy Bolton and the family of Jesse Baird.
Sunshine Butterflies founder and CEO Leanne Walsh says the event is an opportunity to welcome the wider community.
“Our Backyard is such a special place for our members, families and community, and this new pathway means we can make it even safer and more accessible for everyone to enjoy,” Leanne says.
“The pathway allows us to give people with disability the freedom to move around with confidence, join in activities and participate in everything we do here at Sunshine Butterflies.”
The new pathway features more than 90 plaques recognising the individuals and businesses that supported the project.
Special guests will include members of Jesse Baird’s family, with Brendan Baird sharing a few words about what Sunshine Butterflies meant to his brother.
Visitors will have the chance to explore the grounds, meet the team and tour facilities including the new pathway.
The day will feature program demonstrations, farm animal meet-and-greets, creative spaces, food and learning gardens and the adventure playground.
Food and drinks will be available from Sunshine Butterflies’ social enterprise Pantry Cafe.
The free event will be held at 468 McKinnon Drive, Cooroibah. For more information, call 5470 2830 or visit sunshinebutterflies.com.au.
