STORMWATER IMPROVEMENTS
I’M PLEASED to share that Council is investigating stormwater improvements in Tanah Street East in Mount Coolum. The investigations will involve surveys and geotechnical testing to help guide infrastructure improvements in the years ahead. This work has come about after discussions in some of the very first budget sessions. During those workshops, I advocated for more funding for stormwater infrastructure improvements in drainage-deficient areas throughout Division 8. We will keep the community updated as this work progresses.
TELL ME YOUR THOUGHTS ON WILKINS PARK!
The proposed concept plan for a revamped Wilkins Park in Pacific Paradise is out now. We want to know your thoughts and if we have got the design right. Earlier this year, we heard community feedback about what you would like to see improved in Wilkins Park, and now our design team have put together a proposed concept.
Key improvements proposed in the plan include:
Playground upgrades, including a toddler play hut and a shade sail;
Mini bike/scooter track for ages 3–8;
Additional seating and shelter options;
New pathway connections to the park and throughout; and
Entry landscaping and updated park signage.
We know that a lot of people also loved the idea of an improved skatepark or pump track. In 2026, Council will be putting together a Skate and BMX Strategy Refresh so once that’s done, we’ll have a broader direction for a revamped skate park or pump track in the future. Have your Say on the proposed concept plan before November 24.
