Coonooer Bridge Methodist Church was built in 1875 and still stands today as one of the oldest buildings in the shire.

The Coonooer Bridge Community Centre was built in 1984 and opened in October of that year. It was built on the site of the Coonooer Bridge State School which closed in 1964.

A War Memorial erected by local citizens in 1920 commemorates servicemen and women from the local area serving in the Great War and World War 2.
