Cooroora was an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of Queensland from 1912 to 1992.[1]
It was based mainly on the area of the district of Wide Bay and named after Mount Cooroora, near the town of Pomona.
Cooroora was mainly a safe Country/National seat but was one of the many seats that Labor won in the 1989 election landslide.
It was abolished in the 1991 redistribution under the Goss government, and its territory distributed between the new districts of Noosa and Maroochydore.
