Significant upgrades are being made to a popular beachside park.

The first stage of works is complete, and the second stage is about to start, at Power Memorial Park at Mudjimba.

The first stage included the installation of barbecues, shelters and picnic tables, along with landscaping, just in time for the school holidays.

Council invested more than $330,000 in the works, which included renewing the five shelters adjacent to the playground with new roofing, barbecues and seating.

Sunshine Coast councillor Taylor Bunnag said the popular park was now more welcoming.

“My family and I often enjoy visiting Power Memorial Park, and I’m pleased we’ve completed the first stage of works in time for the school holiday break,” he said.

“The artwork in the park looks amazing and I encourage our community to visit the park, have a picnic and enjoy the newly painted table tennis tables.

“We also widened the pathways and planted new shade trees along with the landscaping works.

“This is another great upgrade showcasing how we’re connecting and engaging with our communities to build a better future for everyone.”

Council will start stage two of the park improvements in October.

It will include upgrading the playground with new play equipment and playground edging, and is expected to be completed in November.

Sunshine Coast Council is partnering with the Australian Government, which contributed $265,000 through its Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program, for stage two.

Federal Member for Fairfax Ted O’Brien said the park would be even better.

“Helping locals and visitors alike enjoy one of the world’s best stretches of coastline is particularly special to me …. and I look forward to getting down their myself for a barbeque with my wife and three little ones.”
