Hervey Bay City Centre

The Community Engagement process for the Hervey Bay City Centre master plan has now been completed, and the report combining both stage one and stage two of the community engagement has been made available to view here.

There were 424 responses to the survey providing feedback, as well as five workshops held with key stakeholders, several pop-up kiosks and attendance at the Seniors’ Lifestyle Expo. Several formal submissions were also forwarded to Council for consideration.

The majority of responses indicated positive support for the draft master plan as shared with the community in October 2021.

The planners contracted to design the master plan, Place Design Group, will now consider this feedback and make any final adjustment before sending it to Council for final endorsement.

Fraser Coast Regional Council is partnering with the Australian Government through the Hinkler Regional Deal to breathe new life and opportunities into the Hervey Bay City Centre.

The Hinkler Regional Deal for the Bundaberg–Hervey Bay region is an Australian Government initiative in partnership with the local councils that seeks to build on the area’s strengths to provide economic growth and long term employment.

Under the Deal, the Hervey Bay City Centre redevelopment will receive $40 million from the Australian Government.
