Planning is underway for streetscape improvements in Eumundi with construction planned to commence in early 2023.

Purpose

Council is proposing to deliver streetscape improvements in Memorial Drive Eumundi as part of its Streetscape Capital Works Program.

The streetscape project has sought ideas and feedback from the community to develop recommendations for the design of the streetscape, and priorities for its improvement.

Community engagement

Council has been working with the local community and businesses for more than a year to gain ideas and feedback through surveys and community workshops.

From the ideas and feedback provided in the first stage of engagement, a draft streetscape concept design was developed to gain the community's further feedback. Community enegagement has now concluded, and the streetscape concept design has been updated based on the feedback as well as technical and budget considerations. The design will continue to be refined during the detailed design stage.

Stage 3 Community Update

Between 14 March and 22 April 2022, the Eumundi community were asked to have their say on the Draft Memorial Drive Streetscape Concept Design and let Council know ‘Have we got it right?’.

More than 200 residents, business owners and visitors provided feedback on the Draft Streetscape Concept Design with 171 surveys completed as well as written submissions and community group meetings.

Stage 2 community feedback has been summarised in the below ‘snapshot’ drawn from the survey. This and other community feedback received will assist in further refinement of the design during the detailed design stage.

Updated Streetscape Concept Plan

The Concept Design has been updated based on community feedback, technical feasibility and budget considerations. This will continue be refined as the design is developed.
