Council’s two stage streetscape project in Landsborough is complete
By Kirra Livingstone
LANDSBOROUGH’S Cribb Street streetscape project was opened to the public on July 23, delivering a new, family-friendly space for residents and visitors to enjoy. The project was completed in two stages, with the first stage including footpath widening and new pavement areas, additional landscaping, raised pedestrian crossings, parking reconfiguration, and overhead power cable bundling.
A Sunshine Coast Council spokesperson said the second stage is nearing completion but is open for the community to use.
“This second stage of the streetscape project focused on the park/station side of Cribb Street and provides an improved central gathering space for the community to come together,” the spokesperson said.
“Features of the new space include shelters and seating, a play space, lawn area for community events, more shade trees, and creative lighting elements to build on the signature night-time lighting of the township.”
This project is part of a multi-stage Landsborough Placemaking Master Plan which was designed with extensive consultation with the community.
The master plan was endorsed by council in January 2020.
The council spokesperson added that the landscaping from stage one was growing in well.
“The landscaping of the first stage is maturing nicely and delivered a range of improvements including pedestrian crossings that connect the shops and park areas, new seating areas, landscaped garden beds, street trees, and improved footpaths,” they said.
The two-stage project to beautify Landsborough’s Cribb Street was funded by the Queensland Government’s South East Queensland Community Stimulus Program in association with the Sunshine Coast Council.
