“This much needed, high quality upgrade will help position Eumundi well into the future to remain Australia’s greatest artisan market.”
On Friday morning, the Sunshine Coast's iconic Eumundi Markets upgrade was officially opened by Mayor Mark Jamieson.
Eumundi Markets Official Opening, 27 October 2017
A joint initiative by Eumundi community organisations and the Sunshine Coast Council, Guymer Bailey Landscape was engaged to redesign the 'terraces' section of the premises to improve safety and the overall market experience.
Amidst the challenging ground levels and existing trees and services, Guymer Bailey Landscape delivered a solution that was accessible, safe, durable and low maintenance, whilst keeping with the high profile tourist destination.
