Pathway upgrades considered for Yandina Coolum Road
SAFE AND connected walking networks are important for school children and for our community. Council receives many requests for pathways to be constructed or upgraded across the region.
At the moment, an investigation is underway into potential design solutions for upgrading an existing footpath along Yandina Coolum Road, including connecting pedestrian crossing points.
It will review the footpath on Yandina Coolum Road between School Road and David Low Way to determine the feasibility and impacts of upgrading the pathway and pedestrian crossing. During the investigation and design phase, there may be various contractors onsite surveying, locating underground services, traffic counting and carrying out environmental assessments.
If you have any feedback to provide Council at this very early stage, please contact our project team via DesignServices@sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au
While this investigation focuses on identifying possible improvements to pathways and crossings on Yandina-Coolum Road, I have an extensive list of ‘missing link’ pathway sections in Coolum to be considered for future budgets. I look forward to the recommended outcomes that will be identified from these investigations.
Tickle Park refresh
The popular Tickle Park has had a refresh. It has had a new multi-play unit, a new basket swing, plus other small updates to the playground.
Give a sheet for the planet this National Recycling Week!
Spring is the perfect time to clean out those forgotten shelves and give those old sheets a second chance at life. To celebrate National Recycling Week, Sunshine Coast Council and Noosa Council have teamed up with BlockTexx to hold a community textile recycling event – ‘Give a Sheet® for the Planet’.
Simply clean out your linen cupboards and drop off approved items at Chancellor State College, Secondary Campus, Sippy Downs Drive, Sippy Downs or The J Noosa, 60 Noosa Drive, Noosa Heads on November 16.
All donated linen will be converted into valuable, high-grade recycled materials by BlockTexx to be used by Australian manufacturers to create new products. These include hydro-mulch, geosynthetic fabrics and building materials. Search “give a sheet” on Council’s website for more.
