Noosaville Foreshore Infrastructure Master Plan and Concept Designs for Resilience

Thanks Noosa for your feedback in Phase 2 of the development of the Noosaville Foreshore Infrastructure Master Plan!

We have an overwhelming response to the survey about the draft master plan, so we will take time to analyse the data before reporting back what we heard from the community in the coming weeks.

Noosa Council has drafted an Infrastructure Master Plan for the much-loved Noosaville Foreshore, taking into consideration community feedback in Phase 1 of the project. See the map on the right of this page to view a map of the foreshore area.

Our existing infrastructure along the foreshore is aging and the facilities need upgrading and infrastructure planning will need to consider the community’s diverse needs and growth, cultural heritage, plus climate change impacts such as increased heatwaves, river flooding, sea level rise and storm tide inundation as identified in the Coastal Hazards Adaptation Plan and Climate Change Response Plan.

To tackle these challenges, we've drafted an Infrastructure Master Plan, encompassing site analysis, concept designs, infrastructure assessment, resilience strategies, design options and cost estimates. Our existing Noosaville Foreshore Land Use Master Plan has also provided the basis to inform our future infrastructure planning for the precinct.

The Infrastructure Master Plan outlines the future direction for the Noosaville Foreshore for the next 20+ years.

This comprehensive plan helps Council to budget for future maintenance and upgrades and to secure external funding over the lifetime of the plan.

Further design studies, approvals and careful staging would be required in future years to refine these conceptual designs in detail with the community, prior to the commencement of any on-site construction works.

This beautiful recreation area, nestled along the Noosa River, is a cherished space for locals, tourists, and the Kabi Kabi Peoples, who maintain deep cultural connections with the Noosa River. It's a hub for diverse activities like walking, cycling, swimming, rowing and yachting, fishing, picnics, shopping, and dining, with access to ferry stops and boat rentals.
