THE Sunshine Coast Council is currently undergoing the public tender process for the Maleny Streetscape project, with construction to begin mid 2025.
Construction was initially expected to commence at the start of next year, however due to delays it was pushed back.
A Sunshine Coast Council spokesperson said they won’t be able to comment on how much this will cost until they get pricing quotes back from the successful contractors.
They added the aim of the project is to improve the function of Maleny’s main street.
“The project incorporates the area of Maple Street between Myrtle and Teak Streets,” they said.
“The design includes four new raised pedestrian crossings, kerb extensions, additional shade tree planting and gardens, seating and gathering areas, wayfinding signage, heritage and cultural interpretation elements.”
