Local Sunshine Coast Councillor, David Law, caught up with Mornings with Fee about the expansion of the Kenilworth Transport Service. Run by volunteers, Kenilworth Transport Service, connects residents of this remote country town with the Coast.

Kenilworth is famous for it’s cheese factory, Kenilworth Dairies and the Kenilworth Country Bakery (an Instagram smash and home of the 1kg #DonutChallenge). 

If you need to travel to Nambour, Eumundi, Yandina, Maleny, or the Sunshine Coast University Hospital, why not use the Kenilworth Transport Service. To access the Kenilworth Community Transport Service you need to be a resident of Kenilworth, Belli Park, Cambroon, Conondale, Coolabine, Eerwah Vale, Gheerulla, Kidaman Creek or Obi Obi (or a guest of a registered resident).
