complimented with a coloured threshold to assist in reinforcing driver behaviour. These two
locations will be raised as a future capital works project and put forward for future budget
deliberations. Such enhancement would help locals and visitors to the region, and better signify
the Tewantin town centre as you indicate.




1.9    Zebra Crossing on Blakesley St

The zebra crossing on Blakesley St facilitates access to the Woolworths Shopping complex and
has relatively low pedestrian usage. It is understood that this was installed as a condition of the
Woolworths approval. This facility has street lighting and appears to be in good order with the
appropriate signs and advanced warning signs erected. Council staff have been asked to
undertake any vegetation maintenance to ensure the signage is not concealed.




1.10    Is the precinct able to be clearly understood by locals and visitors?

Tewantin Business Centre has significant entry and arrival landscaping, road treatment and
signage, especially compared to other business centres across Queensland. The precinct has
existed in its current state for approximately 20 years and very few complaints have been received
about the quality of the precinct.




Noosa Council has recently undertaken a Liveability Survey including local areas of Tewantin,
available at https://www.noosa.qld.gov.au/liveability-noosa . A key strength identified for the
locality was “sense of neighbourhood safety (from crime, traffic, pollution etc.)”




Council recently initiated a place making project for the Shire to better plan for a key community
centres.    More information about the project and its objectives are at
https://www.noosa.qld.gov.au/noosa-placemaking . Pomona has initially been selected as a
pilot program, but Tewantin has been identified as a priority for future investigation.




When a placemaking project can be initiated for Tewantin, Council will be engaging with
residents, businesses and community groups to help plan for future aspirations, and Blakesley
Street can be considered as part of the project, including opportunities for more extensive traffic
calming and parking controls, if desired by the whole community.
