Maleny Streetscape & - Placemaking

The main street of Maleny is set for a makeover in 2024.

The Maleny Streetscape and Placemaking plan is about to be undertaken starting in July 2024 and expected to take about 2 years to complete.

This is the finalisation of the Maleny Streetscape Concept Plan of 2005 was undertaken from 2001 to 2005.

Part of the streetscape construction works were undertaken in 2010 and outcomes were:

• The new roundabout entrance

• The Teak Street intersection including pavement from Tesch Park

• A safer pedestrian crossing

• The area with seating in front of the Community Hall

• The area in front of Cooke Park

These works represent the first stage of streetscape works completed in 2010.

Placemaking involves the community in the design and management of public spaces to help create a “sense of place”, or unique identity for a town.

It’s about improving public spaces to strengthen Maleny as a destination and encourage the community and local businesses to invest in events, local shops and enjoy improved natural assets.

Maleny Community Forum to gain views for upcoming streetscape upgrade

A community forum and information session will be held 20 July 2023 between 5p.m. and 8p.m. at the Maleny Community Centre s to unpack the design for the remaining upgrade to Maple Street. The Sunshine Coast Council wishes that residents share their valuable feedback with the council project team.

Placemaking involves the community in the design and management of public spaces to help create a “sense of place”, or unique identity for a town.

Council authorises a short film of the Maleny Show

The 2023 Maleny Show not only was very successful, but also marked 100 years since the establishment of the Maleny Show. The Maleny Show was first held on April 24, 1923.

As a result the Sunshine Coast Council promoted this milestone by having a short documentary film made about the event.

It was launched at the Landsborough Museum on July 12th.

Winston Johnston the Maleny Show Society President, said the film marked a significant milestone in the hinterland town.

The film preserves an essential part of our Sunshine Coast heritage through the stories of these volunteers and captures the smells, sounds and sights of show time. It drew intriguing parallels between the show’s humble beginnings and today's modern pavilions and pursuits.

The film is an initiative of the Sunshine Coast Council Arts and Heritage Levy program.

Overheard at Maple 3 the other day between a well-known couple of socially active women around town having a coffee.
“So long as life remains, there is always hope... and so long as there is hope, there can be victory!"

Maleny 1915. - “just how things have changed11!

The first European to document Maleny was the explorer Ludwig Leichhardt who describes the area in his travel diary in 1844. The first European settlement followed in the wake of the Gympie gold rush of 1867. A track linking Maleny to Landsborough was cut in 1880.

Maleny’s first store was built by the Maleny Co-operative Dairy Association and started trading in November 1905, operated by Mr A.M. Hunt. The store was divided into 3 shops with the third store occupied by Maleny's first E.S. & A. Bank

In 1912, the former Landsborough Shire Council was formed by the subdivision of the Caboolture Shire. The new local government authority included the towns of Landsborough, Maleny, Beerburrum and Caloundra. The new Council met in ‘Dyer's hall’ (located at this time behind the Mellum Club Hotel, later moved to a site adjacent to the hotel in Cribb Street) until the following year when a shire of Maleny was a timber town until the early 1920s and then went on to become the centre of dairy production and fruit growing. The name Maleny is probably derived from the parish name, which in turn is possibly derived from the Scottish place name Malleny, a historic house and garden in the Midlothian village of the same name.

Maleny Baptist Church opened in July 1914 and the Maleny Township State School opened on 22 April 1913. Then In 1915 its name was changed to Maleny State School.

The Range Croquet Club - Maleny

Last weekend Donna Manning played in the Women’s Open of the Gold Coast Tweed tournament in Murwillimbah. She scored three wins from six in the double round robin as did the other three ladies. Donna came second on net hoops behind Heather Knight from Stephens Club, a great result considering the three other players are regular members of the Queensland state team. Donna is a reserve. She commented on how good the Murwillimbah lawns were and thanked the organisers.

Thursday was the first use of the lawn after a wet Tuesday, but ricochet croquet had a bumper day with a pennants competition against Bribie.

Sarah Widin lost to Dolly Taylor 15 – 20, Dianne Horsman beat Don Baily 19 – 12, but Maleny lost the rubber 1 – 2 when Vince Carbery went down to Allison Beer and Jan McNee 13 – 17.

Congratulations Bribie on a well-fought win. Association social play in the afternoon resulted in a 12 – 6 win to Wallace Roy and Kath Smith against Lynette Evans and Sally Adams.

Ken Barker and Chris Borlase played in the Windsor Brooch at Windsor Club on Friday winning a game apiece in a tight competition.

On Sunday Stuart Craig and Wallace 9 beat Vince and Lynette 6. Chris pegged out against Dianne 26 –11 while Carole Atkinson and Donna narrowly lost to Nick Cram and Sarah 5 – 6.

The attached photo (right) shows some of the instruments of torture which will be present on our 30th Birthday on the 30th of July.

Be there to try them out!

Association Croquet

Association Croquet is a tactical game, usually between two players, consisting of running six hoops in order with two balls, clockwise first and then anti-clockwise, and finally hitting the central peg. It is played in a lawn measuring 35yards by 28 yards. The running of a hoop and hitting of the peg scores one point. The maximum score is, therefore, 26 points. Six hoops twice by two balls plus the pegging out.

Association Croquet is a challenging and intriguing sport requiring tactical ability, judgment and skill

Ricochet Croquet Tuesday morings 9 am. Contact Sarah Widin for other days.

Coaching: is available on Saturday mornings at 8 am
