Project Overview
Project Overview
Council has identified Khancoban Drive Park for an upgrade from a local level park to a district level park. For more information on the Sunshine Coast's open space areas, park types and hierarchy please visit Council’s website.
Community Engagement
Community members were invited to complete a short online survey between Tuesday, 7 May and Tuesday, 4 June 2024 at 5pm.
Responses to the survey will help Council to understand:
- When and how you currently use Khancoban Drive Park
- What you love about the park
- What you would like to see included in the upgraded park; and
- Where within the park you would like to see the improvements included.
Thank you to all community members who had their say. You can find the summary of your feedback here.
Background
Khancoban Drive Park is a beautiful park located north of Karawatha Drive, between Khancoban Drive and Jingellic Drive. It offers expansive green spaces and abundant potential. Previously, we consulted our community regarding the preferred location for a dog off-leash area, and the area identified in the plan was the preferred choice by the community. This designated area will expand the functionality of Khancoban Park and will enable the community to exercise their dogs in a green park setting.
As a district-level park, Khancoban will play a pivotal role in the Buderim and Mountain Creek area, providing space for our community to socialise and enjoy outdoor activities together. Parks like this can also have economic benefits for the town, providing space for activities such as markets and offering a place for travellers to rest and relax outdoors.
Next Steps
The community engagement findings will help us to prepare a draft landscape plan for Khancoban Drive Park that reflects community needs. The draft landscape plan will be shared with community for further feedback in October/November 2024.
