Council engaged with the community to prepare a master plan for a future Sport and Recreation Precinct on the northern side of Caloundra Road opposite the Sunshine Coast Turf Club. The site has frontages to Honey Farm and Sattler Roads.

Community engagement

Council actively engaged with the community from 24 June to 24 July 2020 on the draft Honey Farm Road Sport and Recreation Precinct Master Plan.

The Honey Farm Sport and Recreation Precinct Master Plan was adopted at council’s Ordinary Meeting on 25 March 2021.

Where to from here – Delivering the master plan

Development will be staged over a number of years in line with budget availability. Construction works will be prioritised to cater for current and future growth and trends in sport and recreation activities.

Works to prepare the site for development will continue. Initial civil and earthworks relating to the main access road have commenced on-site.

Overview

Sport and recreation facilities play an important role in our local community. Master planning helps to provide infrastructure which reflects community need and avoids ad hoc development over time.

The master plan includes:

  • formal and informal sport
  • turf and hard court playing surfaces
  • new recreation and event spaces
  • youth play spaces
  • running, walking, nature and cycling trails.

Background

The 75 hectare site was purchased by council in 2011 to provide long term sport and recreation opportunities in the southern end of our region.

The site is located north of Caloundra Road opposite the Sunshine Coast Turf Club. It has frontages to Honey Farm and Sattler Roads.

The project locality plan provides an overview of the area.
