Public Notice: Regional Road Reseal Program and Seasonal Health Advisories

Official Road Maintenance and Traffic Schedule

Sunshine Coast Council has issued an official notice for an extensive road maintenance and rehabilitation program active on Monday, 9 March 2026. Contractors are scheduled to perform essential road resealing and surface line marking across several key suburbs. Residents and commuters should anticipate changed traffic conditions, including temporary speed reductions and lane closures.

• Warana: Road resealing works are currently active on Mulgani Street (Division 3).
• Buddina: Maintenance continues on Iluka Avenue and Karalise Court (Division 4).
• Maroochydore: Surface rehabilitation is underway at Waterford Court and Plymouth Quay (Division 8).
• Point Arkwright: Crews are operating on Edward Street and Jubilee Esplanade (Division 8).
• Eumundi: Essential road works are progressing on Jocelyn Drive (Division 10).

In addition to daytime activities, night works are scheduled for Kensington Drive in Minyama. Operations will occur between 6:00 PM and 5:00 AM to minimize peak-hour congestion. While local property access will be maintained, motorists are advised to follow all directional signage and allow for extra travel time during these periods.

Public Safety Advisory: Flood Awareness

Following the recent launch of the "Your car can't protect you" safety initiative, Council is reminding all residents of the hazards associated with local low-lying crossings. Official data confirms that as little as 15cm of water can cause a vehicle to lose traction. With seasonal weather patterns in effect, the public is urged to adhere to the directive: "If it's flooded, forget it." This advisory remains active for all areas across the region to ensure the safety of motorists and emergency responders.

Post-Cabinet Community Update

Following the first State Community Cabinet for 2026 held in Caloundra on March 8, the region enters a follow-up phase regarding local infrastructure priorities. Key focus areas currently under review include the Caloundra Congestion Busting Traffic Plan and the ongoing Mooloolah River Interchange upgrade. Residents who participated in the cabinet sessions are advised that formal responses to registered queries will be processed through official departmental channels starting this week.

Health and Environment Notices

Sunshine Coast Health has released the Autumn 2026 edition of its public health bulletin, highlighting new precision surgery services now available at the Sunshine Coast University Hospital. Furthermore, planning is continuing for the formal establishment of the Sunshine Coast Waterways Authority, which will take over responsibility for local dredging and marine infrastructure maintenance by mid-year. Residents are also encouraged to check their property's on-site sewerage facilities, as regular maintenance is required to prevent environmental impacts on local water catchments.
