Marcoola Streetscape
I’M EXCITED to see works start on extending the footpath on Petrie Avenue to connect pedestrians to the Marcoola shops in Lorraine Avenue. We are also improving the carpark to provide more parking spaces in the area. The works should be completed within a week. These improvements are the first step in delivering the community-led Streetscape Master Plan. The Streetscape works include a formal shared zone adjoining Felix Parry Park, a more efficient parking layout, enhanced landscaping, street tree planting and turtle-sensitive lighting. I’m looking forward to seeing the project completed in time for the festive season.
Shorebird Conservation Action Plan
We are reviewing the Sunshine Coast Shorebird Conservation Plan 2025-2030. It proposes closing high-value shorebird roost sites to the public between October and April. Visit haveyoursay.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au to complete the online survey before 5 pm Monday, November 15, to provide feedback on the draft plan and what actions should be a priority for Council for the next five years.
Storm Tide Mapping
Do you know how storm tide inundation and wave action works? Storm tides are a natural part of living on the Sunshine Coast and along the Queensland coastline and will be into the future. We can’t prevent storm tides from happening. What we can do is reduce the impact on people and property by understanding where this might occur. Council has recently updated its mapping, which has great data and information that can help you better prepare for the future – search for ‘flood mapping’ on Council’s website.
