As part of Council's ongoing commitment to deliver projects that invest in new infrastructure and essential services for community, construction of Stage One will begin on a new off-road car park to ease traffic congestion on Gallery Walk.  This project is jointly funded by the Queensland Government's South East Queensland Community Stimulus Program and Scenic Rim Regional Council. 

The project includes footpath improvements, a new pedestrian crossing for increased safety, and minor upgrades to public toilet facilities on Long Road.  Additionally, there will be enhancements such as increased public seating, landscaping, and improved signage to showcase the precinct's unique identity.   

The construction project will be delivered in two stages.

Consultation pre-concept (August- September 2021) 

Survey, Listening Post, Facilitated Meetings 

Before any concepts were designed, Council surveyed the community and asked these key questions of users of the Gallery Walk Precinct. 

• What do you value about the area? 

• How do you use it? 

• What would you like to see changed and what do you think should stay the same? 

Council also hosted facilitated stakeholder meetings with representatives from community groups, Gallery Walk businesses and landlords to help the project team evaluate the best options for the concept designs.  

The concept designs involved continued consultation with the Department of Transport and Main Roads because Gallery Walk Precinct is located on Tamborine Mountain’s Long Road, which is a State controlled road. 

Feedback on concept designs (February 2022) 

Concept designs captured the community feedback and identify options for a broad scope of works and provide the general look and feel of what the Gallery Walk Precinct could offer.  

Final concept presented  

Following the February 2022 consultation, Council will decide and present back to the community the final preferred concept design in early 2022. The final preferred design concept will also be available for viewing via an Open House and at two static displays on Long Road, Tamborine Mountain.  

Business Case 

To ensure the final concept design provides good value for money, a costed business case will be prepared that will outline the construction, operation and maintenance costs over the determined life of the project and compare these to the tangible and intangible benefits the Gallery Walk Precinct can bring in terms of economic, social, environmental and cultural improvements. 

This project is focused on the end goal of sourcing the funding needed for specific improvements and upgrades to Tamborine Mountain Gallery Walk Precinct. 

Using the business case Council will seek grant funding from all tiers of government to progress to construction phase.
