The first stage of upgrades to a beachside park have been completed, with the unveiling of a new footpath.
The pathway on Belmore Terrace at Sunshine Beach answers the community’s call for new pedestrian crossings and improved footpath connectivity.
It is part of the Ed Webb Park upgrade and provides a smooth and safe route for users of all abilities thanks to an architecturally designed timber boardwalk and balustrade.
Noosa mayor Frank Wilkie said the pathway integrated with the area’s natural landscapes.
“The new pedestrian crossings and improved footpath are vital upgrades that contribute to the safety and accessibility of our pathways,” Cr Wilkie said.
“We are dedicated to creating a more accessible and enjoyable environment for everyone who visits Sunshine Beach.”
Constructed by Be! Building Group, the 2.5-metre-wide footpath connects the existing path to the beach access at Sunshine Beach.
The new road crossing improvements significantly enhance accessibility, mitigating trip hazards and improving overall pathway safety.
The Ed Webb Park upgrade is jointly funded by the 2021-24 South East Queensland Community Stimulus Program and Noosa Council.
Stage 2 of the upgrades are scheduled to begin in the 2024-25 financial year.
Works will focus on enhanced stormwater management, erosion prevention, new park pathways, shelters, viewing platforms and further landscaping enhancements.
