Namba Place Plan - You are Invited to Share your Feedback

There’s so much happening here in the Hinterland Hub of Nambour, so much so that Sunshine Coast Council has been working on new designs to guide the town’s future and revitalise the hub.

The Namba Place Plan aims to develop a strategy for Nambour’s town centre to fuse its growing reputation as a creative and welcoming place through greener streets, wider pathways, art installations and open spaces.

The plan embraces the naturally beautiful, creative and culturally active town known as the ‘heart of the hinterland’.

The Approach

The approach ensured that designs for the town’s public space met the values and needs of the community.

The plan encompasses five streets within Nambour’s town centre which really captures the essence of the hub.

What Type of Improvements Will be made?

This plan revolves around improved pedestrian experience with cooler greener streets, welcoming spaces, and generous footpaths to encourage outdoor dining and socialising.

The design also encourages a more active main street where people feel comfortable, safe and connected as they walk through town, enjoying the variety of boutique shops and cafes.

Sunshine Coast Council’s aim is to ensure they are servicing the business, entertainment, cultural, health and education needs of the town and the surrounding communities.

Have Your Say

Sunshine Coast Council want you to have your say on the proposed concept plan which will continue to revive the region’s historic hub of Nambour and guide its future.

Closing date for the survey is 22 September 2023.

A Key Service Centre of the Region

Sunshine Coast Council recognises the importance of Nambour as one of the region’s key service centres and the work being undertaken will help create a greater sense of place for the future of Nambour and hinterland communities.

Preliminary design and feasibility work for repurposing the Nambour Administration buildings is underway and potential uses for the buildings include a new Nambour district library and heritage library, multi-purpose community spaces, Customer Contact Centre and Council administration offices.
