Library Lovers’ Week Across the Coast

Infrastructure Alert: Steve Irwin Way Upgrades

Motorists are reminded of ongoing traffic changes on Steve Irwin Way between Beerburrum and Beerwah. As part of the Beerburrum to Nambour Rail Upgrade Stage 1, construction activities are active this Wednesday. Public notices indicate that while most heavy works occur at night (7:00 pm to 6:00 am), daytime motorists should expect reduced speed limits, changed traffic signage, and potential minor delays due to increased worker vehicle movements near the intersection of Steve Irwin Way and Roys Road. These works are expected to continue through mid-2026.

Public Tenders: Community Infrastructure Projects

Sunshine Coast Council has officially opened several public tenders for infrastructure development. Active notices for 11 February include ITT2541 for building works at Eddie De Vere and ITT2523 for the construction of new amenities and equipment storage at Reserve 1000 in Golden Beach. Additionally, the Council is seeking contractors for the multi-use clubhouse project on Honey Farm Road in Caloundra. Local businesses and qualified contractors are encouraged to review these opportunities via the official VendorPanel portal.

Following the recent return to school, health authorities at Sunshine Coast Health are reminding parents to maintain high standards of hygiene and nutrition in school lunchboxes to combat seasonal illnesses. While the official statewide free flu vaccination program is set to commence on 1 March, residents are encouraged to consult their local GPs regarding current immunisation schedules and back-to-school health checks.
