Pop up information sessions on draft Foreshore plan

Two community pop up sessions will be held to provide detailed information about the revised draft Noosaville Foreshore Infrastructure Master Plan.

The information sessions form a key part of the four-week community consultation program, to ensure residents and visitors are well informed about the draft plan’s proposed long-term outcomes.

The first session will be Saturday December 7 near Pirate Playground from 9am – 11.30am.

The second scheduled for Friday December 13 near the Noosa Boathouse from 4pm to 6.30pm.

“Understandably, there is plenty of interest in what’s proposed for the two-kilometre-long public space, so we want to give the community every opportunity to ask questions, be informed and have a say on the draft plan,” Acting Infrastructure Services director Shaun Walsh said.

“We’ve listened to the community and are keen to know whether we have got it right.”

In attendance at the informal sessions will be key council staff working on finalising the plan and councillors. The consultants will attend the first information session on December 7.

Staff will also be on site for a coffee chat session on Tuesday 10 December next to Terrace Marina Riverfront Cafe on Gympie Terrace from 1 pm to 3 pm.

"Feel free to come along, grab a coffee and chat to our staff about the proposals in the draft plan," Mr Walsh said.

“We have images of what’s proposed for the various precincts along the foreshore to provide a better understanding of the draft plan,” Mr Walsh said.

Mr Walsh said feedback so far indicates the draft plan is aligned with community expectations.

“This plan plays an important role in making sure we retain the character and vibe of the Noosaville foreshore, while addressing the key challenges facing the space, such as significant weather events, pedestrian amenity and enhancing many of the aging facilities and drainage,” Mr Walsh said.

The community has until Sunday December 15 to provide feedback on the revised draft plan.
