Sunshine Coast Council Budget delivers for Nambour
Cr David Law: “The Nambour Administration Precinct project will receive $750,000”.
Strong business and community support is at the forefront of Council’s Division 10 Budget allocation with the Nambour Administration Precinct and Namba Place Revitalisation projects offering encouraging economic and social uplift for the hinterland town.
Sunshine Coast Council Division 10 Councillor David Law said he was pleased to see Nambour featured extensively in Council’s $847 million budget which was handed down last Thursday (June 23).
“Nambour’s Namba Place Revitalisation Project has been allocated $300,000, which will see streetscape improvement projects on Currie Street, Howard Street and Mill Street,” Cr Law said.
“The Nambour Administration Precinct project will receive $750,000 for the feasibility, planning, designing and delivery of projects within the existing precinct to further connect council with the community.
“I’m pleased to see a number of pathways planned in Yandina and Nambour, connecting the hinterland community and improving our active transport connectivity.”
Cr Law said road safety improvement would see the Pringle Road intersection at Panorama Drive in Nambour upgraded to clearly define the main thoroughfare.
“Kanes Road in Bridges will also be upgraded to a sealed road.
“Our parks in Obi Obi, Kenilworth, Eerwah Vale, Nambour and North Arm will receive upgrades so our community can continue to enjoy our open spaces, and ensure our youngsters can play safely with playground renewal, carpark construction and fence renewal.”
Council will also continue implementing elements of the Petrie Creek Parklands masterplan.
“It’s great to see the continuation and another $100,000 invested in Eumundi’s Town Centre this year, following the completion of community consultation and a $1.5 million commitment last year.”
