Your great ideas are being invited to help shape the future of a park destined to play a greater role in our local community.
Sunshine Coast Council is seeking community input to develop a landscape plan for Khancoban Drive Park, located north of Karawatha Drive, between Khancoban Drive and Jingellic Drive, Buderim.
Council has earmarked the space for an upgrade that will see it elevated from local-level park to a district-level park.
Sunshine Coast Council Division 6 Councillor Christian Dickson said as a district-level park, Khancoban Drive Park would serve a wider area within Buderim and Mountain Creek.
Dog in off-leash park
"It will offer more facilities such as public amenities, community events, outdoor leisure activities and a dog off leash area," Cr Dickson said.
"It will provide space for our community to meet and enjoy outdoor activities together.
"Locals have been telling me they want to see a high-quality park with things families can enjoy close to home, without having to travel outside of their own community.
"Khancoban Drive Park is a great location and we need your input to help us understand when and how you use the park.
"Tell us what you love about the park, what you would like to see included in the upgraded park, and where within the park you would like to see the improvements included.
"This is how we are working with our community to nurture and enhance our environment and quality of life, and I'm looking forward to hearing your feedback."
In September 2023, Council asked the community where they wanted the dog off-leash area.
The community chose their preferred location and this designated area will expand the functionality of Khancoban Park.
This will enable the community to exercise their dogs in a green park setting.
