Entertainment precinct sparkles and shines

What’s got our popular late-night dining and entertainment precinct shining even more brightly?

A new streetscape refresh has kicked off along Maroochydore’s Ocean Street with a dazzling display of decorative lights.

Sunshine Coast Council Division 8 Councillor Taylor Bunnag said he was thrilled to see the precinct feature some extra sparkle.

“This is the first step in our journey to beautify Ocean Street into an even more vibrant and welcoming destination,” Cr Bunnag said.

“We now have warm coloured, low voltage LED lights twisting around palm trees along the street through to the Duporth Avenue intersection.

“The bud lighting is just the beginning of our efforts to enhance the ambience and create a magical experience for everyone, especially during the evening.

“If you haven’t seen the feature lighting, I encourage locals and visitors to come down, take in the shine and enjoy a drink and a bite to eat!”

Ocean Street is a beloved cultural hub and Council is committed to making it even better with more streetscape improvements to come.

Over the next few months, works will begin to enhance the street with refreshed garden beds, repainted kerbs and improved accessible parking bays.

The shared zone will also become more eye catching with a printed mural that will cover the length of the street. The design aims to remind drivers to slow down and give way to pedestrians along the often bustling street.

Council has been collaborating with local businesses to add vibrancy and interest to the night economy.

Council looks forward to sharing more updates as we continue to roll out these exciting improvements.
