Cooee Point is an un-serviced site with limited facilities and permits are required. To apply for a permit please complete the Online Application, or visit our friendly staff at Customer Service, Council Offices 80 Wilson Street.

A liquid waste discharge point (RV dump point) and a water supply point is provided within the vicinity: see w3w ///liberal.radiantly.cars for exact location.
