Constraint:        Park not maximised to full potential as a local park

Opportunity:       Enhance          public amenity which           also   complements the commercial
                   interface.
Constraint:        Areas in the Park are used exclusively for commercial gain

Opportunity:       Better manage the outdoor dining zones with a holistic vision for all
                   users of the       public Park.

Constraint:        No formal accessible Disability Discrimination Act 1992 compliant path
                   network in the Park

                   provide a more integrated path network throughout the Park.

Constraint:        Playground        -
                                         not integrated into the Park, doesn’t stand out visually to

                   encourage play.
Opportunity:       Create informal play nodes in the Park by earth re-grading and the
                   introduction of artwork.


Constraint:        Seating areas          -

                                              inadequate & visually hidden from obvious sight lines
                   & poor access by lack of a formal path network.

Opportunity:       Provide better integrated seating.                Open up viewing from Noosa Pde
                   through revised landscaping treatments.

Constraint:        Service infrastructure          -

                                                       sewage pump station, visually obtrusive &
                   located in a prime pedestrian access zone.

Opportunity:       Screen or install artwork to improve visual aspect.


Constraint:        Trees      -

                                  very densely populated with minimal open space, ultimately
                   reducing Park functionality.
Opportunity:       Formalise an open space area whilst utilising the ample shade cover

                   provided by the trees.

Constraint:        Outdoor        dining      areas    -

                                                           Quamby    Place     currently     utilises the Park

                   adjacent to their establishment for commercial gain with local Council
                   approval which impacts on the Park’s functionality.
