The Draft Nambour (Namba) Place Plan aims to improve the centre’s streetscapes, facilitate a diverse range and scale of events, and bring new playful experiences, journeys and cultural connections to the community. The plan is informed by patterns of its history, stories of its people and contemporary aspirations.

Thank you to everyone who had their say on the Nambour (Namba) Place Plan community engagement between 28 August and 24 September 2023.

The overwhelming response has resulted in 94 per cent support for the Plan.

The plan is a response to private development momentum within the town centre, the emerging Special Entertainment Precinct and the need to lift and renew the streetscape to increase economic and community activation.

It has been informed by community representative input, which has guided the collective vision, concept design and long-term strategy for future streetscape development of the precinct.

Ultimately the aim is to provide a clear and detailed understanding of how the streetscape can look and function, how much it will cost, and provide a roadmap for when each stage of construction can occur.

View the results of the recent community engagement and learn about the Place Plan design.

The project team is now progressing with design for construction focussing on the Currie Street and Mill Street intersection as per outcomes of the community survey. Construction of stage one is scheduled to begin mid 2025.

The project team is continuing to work closely with both the Australian Government and Queensland Government to seek potential funding opportunities.
