Design work is underway on a range of pedestrian safety improvements in Pomona to support safer and more accessible movement through the town centre.
Planning has commenced on upgrades including new pedestrian crossings, raised township entry treatments and reduced speed limits along key streets.
The works build on an existing commitment to deliver a new pedestrian crossing on Factory Street and aim to create a more connected walking environment across the township.
The upgrades are intended to improve accessibility and walkability for residents and visitors travelling between schools, shops, transport links and community facilities along busy road corridors.
Queensland Minister for Transport and Main Roads, Brent Mickelberg, said the project responded to long-standing community feedback.
“Our focus is keeping the community safe, and these upgrades will make it easier and safer for people to get around their town, whether they’re walking to school, the shops or the train station,” Mickelberg said.
“We’re working closely with Noosa Shire Council to ensure the improvements align with existing placemaking initiatives and reflect local priorities,” he said.
Member for Nicklin, Marty Hunt, said the project would deliver practical safety benefits for Pomona.
“These upgrades will support safer streets and improve the overall experience for people moving through the town centre,” Hunt said.
“They will help strengthen Pomona as a welcoming and accessible community.”
