Waterfront public realm works at Mooloolaba Marina with lawn, shade, planting and picnic settings framing the harbour edge.
Mooloolaba Marina sits at one of the Sunshine Coast's busiest visitor edges — a working boat harbour that also has to hold up as a family picnic ground, coastal walkway and marketing image for the town.
The landscape works keep it deliberately simple: an open lawn stitched into the promenade, mature figs and pandanus for shade, and a low planted edge that softens the change from paving to water without blocking the view.
