Eumundi footpath upgrades

Sunshine Coast Council (SCC) has successfully secured $600,000 from the SE Qld Community Stimulus Program 2024-2027 allocation. This funding – announced in October 2024 – is earmarked for footpath improvements along both sides of Memorial Dr as part of the ongoing Eumundi streetscape project.

Member for Ninderry Dan Purdie MP, praised the Eumundi community for their patience and collaboration during recent major infrastructure upgrades.

“These pathway upgrades are another example of state and local governments working together to support the Eumundi township’s evolution. This investment will make it easier and safer for pedestrians to enjoy what Eumundi has to offer,” said Dan.

The project will see the upgrade of approximately 420sqm of footpaths on Memorial Dr, stretching between Etheridge St and Lonergan Ln. The enhancements aim to bolster the use and enjoyment of Memorial Dr, benefiting residents, local businesses and visitors.

Key improvements include the installation of new concrete slabs and the upgrade of surface materials to coloured, exposed, concrete aggregate and feature paving. These changes are designed to improve pedestrian safety and accessibility while providing a refreshed look that enhances Eumundi’s heritage character. The project is expected to be completed by June 2025.
