An iconic Queensland town that is famous for being a mecca for markets and creative arts is about to get a beautiful makeover.

Eumundi draws thousands to its friendly local businesses and weekly markets and is a favourite with locals and visitors.

It is getting a revamp that will enhance its charm and improve safety, ensuring it continues to prosper. 

The construction of a stunning new streetscape in Eumundi's main street, which has been designed based on extensive community input, has started (August 5).

Sunshine Coast Division 10 Councillor David Law said the design was in keeping with Eumundi’s character and reflected the community-led vision.

“The upgrades along Memorial Drive will help the street operate more safely and efficiently and enhance the look and experience of the bustling town while improving accessibility for everyone,” Cr Law said. 

“We recognise the importance of keeping the main street and markets open for business during construction which is why the works will be staged in zones to minimise disruption to our community.”

Construction of the Bank Arcade zone will start in August and continue until October 2024.

It will deliver a new raised pedestrian crossing on Memorial Drive, upgraded footpath, lighting, landscaping and seating areas, amongst other improvements.

Works will then switch to the Etheridge Street zone (from October) on Memorial Drive to construct a similar raised pedestrian crossing with outdoor seating, leafy shaded areas, upgraded footpaths, lighting, wayfinding signage, and a ‘Bullock’ circle heritage interpretation. 

There will be a construction break over the peak December to January trading period with these works expected to be completed by February 2025, weather dependent.

In partnership with Eumundi Combined Community Organisation, additional, free temporary parking will be available at the upper car park area near the roundabout, access from Napier Road. This temporary arrangement will be available during construction from 6am-6pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.

Sunshine Coast Council has budgeted $3.3 million in this year’s budget to deliver the project, in partnership with the Queensland Government. 

Stage Two works are subject to further technical investigations and are anticipated to start in early 2025. Council will continue to keep our community informed as Stage Two is finalised.
