Push for a new park

Health hub won’t interfere with traffic

A BEERWAH traffic intersection doesn’t need to be upgraded despite concerns that extra usage by a new health hub will significantly increase traffic volume.

The Sunshine Coast Council said it had investigated the potential impact on traffic at the corner of Turner Street and Peachester Road following the completion of a health hub in 2024 that will cater for 70 car park spaces.

A Sunshine Coast Council spokesperson told GC&M News that they are aware of community concerns and investigated if the traffic would be detrimental to the Turner Street intersection.

ADVOCATES for a multigenerational park in Maleny are seeking community support and ideas in a push to bring the concept into reality.

Maleny Park for All is a small group of community members who formed in 2022 with the aim of developing a community-led path to the development of a much-needed park space in the hinterland town.

The group is not a formal organisation, rather a collective, gathering thoughts and ideas to ensure any future park caters to the diverse and unique views of the Maleny community.

MPA’s Rossi Moore spoke to GC&M News and said the group has met recently and were now in the throes of seeking community input through letters of support as well as a survey.

“Ultimately while we think Maleny really needs a multigenerational park to cater to our broad demographics, it is really critical that planning and advocacy is led by the community,” Rossi said.

“We’d love to get as much input as possible from people so that we can bring this together in a formalised way to take to council.
