As part of the 2023-24 budget, Council has committed to developing shovel-ready masterplans for a number of Western Downs parks and recreational spaces in an effort to achieve vibrant, sustainable, and functional locations for our region's locals and visitors to enjoy for years to come.

These masterplans coincide with the development of a new Parks and Recreation Strategy which will address critical opportunities and issues, and clearly articulate a strategic pathway for the Western Downs to enhance liveability. This strategy has identified key parks within our region that will receive masterplans over the next five years.

To ensure we accurately meet the needs of our locals, Council will collaborate with the community to understand priorities and gather feedback on the spaces that directly impact you, ultimately helping shape a way forward.

As a result, Council will have produced masterplans ready for when funding can be allocated to the development and construction of these sites, which will ultimately improve the aesthetics and functionality of these parks and encourage more locals or tourists to visit. Watch this space!
