Public Notice: Significant Infrastructure and Pathway Works Commencing Sunday, 1 February

Alexandra Headland: Alex Bluff Foreshore Park Upgrades

Sunshine Coast Council has officially announced the commencement of the Coastal Pathway renewal project at Alex Bluff Foreshore Park, starting today, Sunday, 1 February 2026. This significant infrastructure project is part of a broader commitment to improve accessibility, safety, and amenity along the region's popular coastal network. The existing 1.8-metre-wide path will be renewed and widened to a 3.5-metre shared pathway, facilitating a safer experience for walkers, runners, and cyclists.

• Construction is expected to last approximately six months, weather and site conditions permitting.
• Temporary fencing and restricted access zones will be in place throughout the foreshore park.
• Pedestrians are encouraged to follow all directional signage and utilize designated alternative routes during the construction phase.

Bli Bli: New Pathway Construction on Princess Drive

Pathway connectivity in Bli Bli is set to improve with the start of construction on a new link along Princess Drive, beginning today.

• The project is scheduled for completion within two weeks, site conditions permitting.
• To facilitate the new alignment, five trees will be removed from the site; however, replacement trees will be planted as part of the project’s environmental offset program.
• Minor traffic disruptions may occur near the intersection of Wharf Road and Princess Drive.
