Queens Park Revitalisation Project

Attention Orchid House visitors

Orchid House will be closed for renovations from Sunday, December 22, 2019 until Tuesday, June 30, 2020. We apologise for any inconvenience caused during these works.

Revitalisation works have begun!

Following community consultation in late 2018 on the draft masterplan, the new landscape design for the Queens Park Revitalisation Project are complete and construction has officially commenced.

Council has worked closely with local consultants to incorporate stakeholder feedback received during consultation where the community was asked to provide feedback on the features they would use in the parklands and the potential design style for the park.

Queens Park, located along East Gordon, Goldsmith and Shakespeare streets, provides a diverse urban parkland for our region and enables a link between our city centre and coastline.

Some of the key features and facilities included in the new design are:

• renovating the existing cricket change rooms to cater for multipurpose community uses
• addition of public toilets near the new adventure playground
• improved car parking facilities for the park
• protection and enhancement of the historical Arboretum and Palmetum
• pedestrian and bike way connectivity
• lighting to improve public safety
• yarning circle with cultural heritage design elements; and
• a dog park, additional picnic shelters, barbecues and bench seating
