This served In Pomona, Queensland, as the Council office from 1910 to 1980. A historic and characterful town in the Noosa Hinterland, at the base of Mount Cooroora, an ancient volcanic plug. When strolling around Pomona it is interesting to imagine life in the early pioneering days. The railway station was for many years the heart of the town. The North Coast Railway between Yandina and Cooran opened in 1891.

By 1910 the Shire of Noosa had a population of 2000. The first local government election was in April with James Duke elected as the first Shire Chairman. There was divided opinion about whether to establish the office in Cooroy or Pomona. After a referendum Pomona became the shire centre.

In 1910 the Shire boasted about half a mile of gravelled road and only six bridges. The balance of traffic (mostly bullock teams) just followed tracks through the scrub.

Today it is a charming country town with many interesting buildings, and the street names are very aptly named…

Pottery Street, Church Street, Rectory Street, Factory Street, Mill Street, School Street, Mountain Street, Station Street, etc.
