The Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) have advised they originally included the landscaping and signage at this location to provide an entry feature in consultation with Sunshine Coast Council prior to the local government de-amalgamation, with the expectation that the aesthetic maintenance of these features would be maintained by local government, as is the practice in other areas. To date Noosa Council has indicated that it does not have the resources to undertake the ongoing aesthetic maintenance of the landscaping within the roundabouts and adjacent entry signs. Whilst this matter is being considered by Noosa Council, TMR advise they will continue to maintain the interchange roundabouts according to its vegetation maintenance strategy, which is based on the safety of road users and involves the regular mowing of a setback from the road edge.
