One the Coast’s busiest dining and entertainment precincts has had a streetscape refresh, with more upgrades in the works.

Low-voltage LED lights have been installed on palm trees along Ocean Street, through to the Duporth Avenue intersection, at Maroochydore.

Over the next few months, works will also begin to enhance the street with refreshed garden beds, repainted kerbs and improved accessible parking bays.

The shared zone will also get a printed mural that will cover the length of the street, aimed at reminding drivers to slow down and give way to pedestrians.

Sunshine Coast councillor Taylor Bunnag said he was excited to see the extra sparkle from the new lights.

“This is the first step in our journey to beautify Ocean Street into an even more vibrant and welcoming destination,” he said.

“The bud lighting is just the beginning of our efforts to enhance the ambience and create a magical experience for everyone, especially during the evening.”
