With Stage One Northern Parkland complete, the next stage is Stage Two and includes the Central Meeting Place and the Southern Seawall. Construction is expected to start by early 2025 and continue through 2026.

Stage Two includes a large, new beachfront park, new community facilities, enhanced accessibility for all members of our community and replacing an existing seawall which dates back to the 1960s.

Features include:

  • new public toilets and showers (to replace the ageing Loo with a View) including facilities for people with high support needs
  • enhanced beach access with an all-abilities access ramp for people using wheelchairs, prams or mobility devices 
  • new shaded event and meeting pavilion
  • open grassed areas, and new landscaping with plants and shade trees
  • variety of beach-front and shaded seating options, plus picnic areas
  • an ocean viewing deck 
  • public artwork
  • wider six metre coastal pathway (previously two to three metres)
  • replacing the existing aged vertical seawall.

The replacement seawall will see the current steep vertical rock-pitched seawall replaced with a light-coloured concrete seawall which predominately features wide terraced steps that gradually span from the parkland to the beach and will double as community seating.

Sections of the seawall terraces will be landscaped with shade trees and plants. The design connects our community from ‘beach-to-business’ by reducing physical and visual barriers between the beach, parkland and Mooloolaba Esplanade traders. It also includes enhanced access with an all-abilities access ramp for people using wheelchairs, prams or mobility devices.

Project update

Council is currently in the tendering phase for a construction contractor. Once appointed, Council will work with the successful contractor to guide the project’s timing, how it will be constructed and sequencing.

Some early preparation construction works are expected to take place in various locations across the Stage Two area from February through to April 2025. These early works will ensure a smooth transition to the major works period starting in May 2025 and continuing through 2026. 

The exact timing and methodology of major works will be confirmed following the anticipated appointment of a contractor in early 2025.

Council will work closely with the successful contractor to make sure that our community and local business operators are kept well informed of construction plans.

All information about the project is accurate at the time of distribution. Project outcomes including design, works and dates may be subject to change due to circumstances beyond the Mooloolaba Foreshore Revitalisation Project team’s control.

Visitor access during construction

Mooloolaba will remain ‘open’ and ready to welcome locals and visitors during construction. Access to the beach and swimming areas, our community’s favourite shops, cafes, accommodation and other businesses on the Esplanade and nearby streets will remain.

For safety reasons during the seawall construction period, some areas of the beach will be fenced off, and beachgoers can be assured that there will always be public access to Mooloolaba’s beautiful beach and surf lifesaver patrol flagged areas.

Car, bicycle and disability parking will remain available near the beach, including at the ParkNGo Mooloolaba Central car park just 300 metres to Mooloolaba Beach and the foreshore. To ensure community safety, some temporary changes to traffic conditions and on-street parking will be required during construction.

On street disability car parks, loading bays and drop off areas will remain available, however may be provided in different locations to ensure community safety during construction.
