Maleny placemaking and streetscape - Maple Street
Maleny’s main street will be refreshed to provide a safer, more enjoyable and attractive experience for the community.
The Maleny Streetscape project aims to improve the function of Maleny’s main street.
It will add to its ‘sense of place’ so it can continue to be a place that is loved by residents, supports local businesses, and remains a valued hinterland destination.
Project scope
The project incorporates the area of Maple Street between Myrtle and Teak Streets.
The design includes:
- four new raised pedestrian crossings
- kerb extensions
- additional shade tree planting and gardens
- seating and gathering areas
- wayfinding signage
- heritage and cultural interpretation elements.
Earlier this year, the project received additional funding through the Australian Government - Local Roads and Community Infrastructure grant program.
This has enabled us to increase the project scope to include some footpath upgrades to Maple Street. Footpaths have now been documented and included in the tender package for pricing.
