We’re so impressed that people have kept their businesses running and shown the resilience to be there for the rest of the community.” Mountain Bean Cafe owner Wayne Bluck faced a particularly rugged climb.

  • Urban Design
    CoastConnect Caloundra to Maroochydore Concept Design and Impact Management Plan 18. Urban design 18.1 Introduction The corridor from Caloundra to Maroochydore on the Sunshine Coast is a rapidly maturing urban environment. But like other urbanising areas it is in danger of becoming a homogenous, car-based, urban continuum. An efficient mix and balance of public and private transport would reduce the likelihood and impacts of this outcome. A highly efficient and visible bus transport system that is appropriately integrated into this evolving coastal urban environment will encourage the timely consolidation of the existing centres. This chapter identifies: the existing character and form of the built environment and the characteristics of the street environment along the route issues that may require alternative design approaches, and opportunities that can be captured through the design process potential impacts to the existing urban environment resulting from the preferred CoastConnect bus corridor design, and how these could be best managed with urban design treatments further studies required to realise the CoastConnect bus priority corridor from Caloundra to Maroochydore, and to maximise the opportunities and minimise the impacts of the project. There are substantial opportunities that the project can deliver to improve the urban environment while providing a strong public transport initiative by delivering: strong built form improved pedestrian activity and amenity a catalyst for land use changes that stimulate business stimulation and provide improved active frontages clear but subtle branding of the bus corridor. Urban design outcomes for CoastConnect — Caloundra to Maroochydore were considered within the context of current planning being undertaken by Sunshine Coast Regional Council for Maroochydore City Centre Concept Plan, and the planning completed by the TransLink Transit Authority for the future Maroochydore train station.
