This draft concept design considers the Dalby Cultural Centre as well as upgrades to Thomas Jack Park. This is a once in a generation opportunity to elevate our park and create a regional gateway for the Western Downs in Dalby that we are all proud of.

The October round of engagement is now closed. Following feedback from community, Council will make the decision to approve the next stages in the process including planning and detailed design phases.

A leading architectual team

Council appointed a collective of architects for this project, led by OMA alongside Anna O'Gorman, People Oriented Design and Blaklash. This architectural team have heard what you need and want for the future of the Park Precinct and have collaborated with Council and community to develop this concept. We are thankful to all who have contributed their time to get involved in the process. Together we will enhance the heart of our town for our community today and for generations to come.

Retaining our parkland spaces

The diagram below explains the areas that have been created to ensure our park remains primarily as open parkland. The image on the left below shows an 'exclusion zone' in purple which was created to protect the area of mature trees on the Drayton Street side, and to create a buffer around the homes in the park. The white shaded area is not part of the project area and includes Council’s depot and two private residential properties.

The total footprint of the buildings cannot exceed 2,500m2. The total park area is over 36,000m2. The green and blue boxes on the right below show the scale of these areas relative to each other.
