Council has prepared an Improvement Plan to upgrade a section of Bayview Terrace's streetscape, opposite Deception Bay Library, where it meets Captain Cook Parade in Deception Bay.

The project aims to improve the pedestrian experience by enhancing the functionality and usability of the area.

The upgrades include:

• new footpath and outdoor dining areas
• new placemaking elements, including a footpath treatment installed at the intersection
• additional trees and groundcover will be planted alongside the footpath, and in the median
• additional street furniture will be installed.

Things will look slightly different along Bayview Terrace while construction work is underway. You may see:

• Temporary footpaths providing alternative access to businesses 
• Temporary wayfinding signage 
• Construction site fencing and mesh 
• Construction machinery on site which may at times be noisy.

City of Moreton Bay supports vibrant communities and well-planned places, and through Moreton Says, we know neighbourhoods are important to people living in Deception Bay

Moreton Says told us:

• 71% of respondents in Deception Bay, strongly agreed or agreed that they were proud of their place of residence. 24% were neutral and the remaining 5% either disagreed or strongly disagreed with this statement.
• 80% of respondents in this community felt they had opportunities to engage with local businesses such as shops, markets, and restaurants, in comparison with 63% of respondents in the rest of City of Moreton Bay.

Between 7 May and 4 June 2024, we invited community feedback on the draft Improvement Plan for the Bayview Terrace streetscaping upgrade via an online survey and email submissions. Thank you for sharing your views with us.

You can read what we heard in the Community Engagement Summary report.
