The community can now enjoy even more at ANZAC Park with a range of new facilities open just in time for the festive season.
The park has been undergoing extensive redevelopment which recently saw the staged reopening of a new memorial space and now also includes an amenities block, an undercover barbecue area and three shelters with seating.
Gardens, upgraded pathways and additional turf have also been added to create a welcoming and accessible space for all.
The amenities block has been designed to meet a wide range of needs.
It includes two toilets for people with a disability, six cubicle toilets including two ambulant cubicles and an adult change room facility accessible with a Master Locksmiths Access Key (MLAK).
Mayor Helen Blackburn said it was great to see the final elements of the project completed and open to the public.
“ANZAC Park is an important place for our community, both as a memorial and as a shared public space,” she said.
“These new facilities mean people can spend more time here comfortably, whether they’re visiting to reflect, meet with others or enjoy the park over the holiday period.”
The Mayor acknowledged that the project took longer than originally planned but said the finished result was something the community could be proud of.
“There were some unavoidable delays along the way including supplier issues, contractor availability and weather,” she said.
“We appreciate the community’s patience and are pleased to now see the finished result that can be enjoyed by all.”
ANZAC Park is located on Quay Street, along the Burnett River.
The works are supported through the State Government’s Works for Queensland initiative.
