Finding the fair balance

Over 2000 people helped create the revised 20-year vision for the Noosaville Foreshore.

As promised last year, we’ve worked in good faith to respect and balance a great variety of views on community access, safety, enjoyment and aesthetics in a Master Plan that preserves what everyone loves about the foreshore, while paving the way for improvements.

Councillor endorsement last week means your council can begin bringing what the community wanted for the Pirate Playground, all-abilities public amenities, shade trees and open spaces, multi-use Tennis Court plus wider, safer pathways.

The intention was always to conduct a genuine process to preserve and co-create a shared space that everyone could enjoy for years to come.

The 20-year plan’s key features include retention of existing parking and loading zones, wider shared pathways for improved safety, two swimming areas where boats are restricted and upgrades to parkland facilities.

The boat ramp area remains mostly in its original state in response to the feedback received, with the tennis court also kept as a revered part of the foreshore’s heritage.

Council also committed to ensure the existing 404 carparking spaces are clearly recognised in the plan and that any future changes be subject to thoughtful design and engagement.
