Peregian Square has a fresh new look, with Council’s maintenance and minor refurbishment project now largely complete in time for summer.
The popular community space has refreshed garden beds, lawns, new timber seating, and improved stormwater management, helping make the area more accessible and inviting.
Mayor Frank Wilkie said the improvements will help Peregian Square remain a relaxed and welcoming space for years to come.
“These works were about preserving what the community loves about the Square while enhancing safety, comfort and appearance,” Cr Wilkie said.
“Council staff and contractors have done a fantastic job with care and respect improving this well-loved space.”
Upgrades include renewed garden beds and turf, replacement of worn timber elements, new seating around the iconic Tuckeroo tree, plus an extension of the rock wall at the southern end to prevent erosion.
Pathways, entrances, and shaded seating areas have also been improved, creating smoother connections between the park and nearby restaurants and shops.
Kylie Plunkett and Lauren Drysdale from the Peregian Beach Business Association welcomed the upgrades.
“On behalf of the local traders in Peregian Beach village, we’re grateful to see the square re-energised and buzzing with life again,” Ms Plunkett said.
“We truly appreciate the community’s patience and support and invite everyone to come, eat, shop and enjoy all that Peregian has to offer,” Ms Drysdale added.
Mayor Wilkie thanked businesses and residents for their patience while the works were carried out.
“We know Peregian Square holds a special place in people’s hearts.”
Only a few minor finishing touches remain, with all areas expected to be open and ready for the community to enjoy before Christmas.
Funded by Noosa Council, the project forms part of Council’s ongoing commitment to maintaining and enhancing the Shire’s vibrant public spaces.
