Gympie Regional Council has commissioned the preparation of a Canoe and Kayak Strategy for the entire Gympie Region. The overall aim of this project is to prepare a strategy that will set out a future direction for canoeing and kayaking on the main watercourses in the Gympie region.

The Gympie region provides a unique and diverse environment, providing significant opportunities for outdoor sport and recreation opportunities for both local residents and visitors alike.

Stage Five consists of concept planning for streetscape and public realm improvements in Rainbow Beach.

The first stage of the program facilitated the preparation of concept designs for Kandanga and Kilkivan, which will form the general basis and overall direction for future works and projects undertaken within each township.

The ‘Our Towns’ Cooloola Cove project adopts the outcomes of community consultation and support gained in the Concept Master Planning phase of the ‘Our Towns’ Sustainable Centres Program.

The second stage of the program facilitated the preparation of concept designs for Amamoor and Gunalda, which will form the general basis and overall direction for future works and projects undertaken within each township.

Recreation opportunities exist for bushwalkers, mountain bikers and horse riders to experience the Gympie Region in a unique way, and also appreciate the history of these corridors at the same time.

Construction has recently started on the River to Rail Trail as part of Gympie Regional Council’s commitment to improving its outdoor recreational trails and access to the beautiful Mary River.

The Master Plans were produced on the basis of meeting the growing needs of the community and providing a home ground for key outdoor sports in Gympie.

The proposed Mary Street Pedestrian Plaza is an at grade civic plaza space that delivers strong connections (physically and visually) between the future Town Centre Transit Facility and Mary Street and adjacent to Memorial Lane.

The Nelson Reserve/Memorial Park Master Plan was endorsed by Council on 13 May 2015, as part of a comprehensive Gympie Town Centre Urban Design Projects Package. The Master Plan comprises Nelson Reserve,...

The concept design will introduce new street furniture, pedestrian crossing points, significant street tree planting and landscaping, streetscape lighting, public art, and widened pedestrian pavement areas to encourage alfresco dining and encourage an 'eat street' atmosphere.

The Transit Facility project provides a vital enhancement to one of the Region’s key public transport and inter and intra-regional bus/coach service terminus and the future central hub for the local bus network.
