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.
