The head contractor for the Thomas Jack Park Precinct revitalisation has been announced with construction starting later in April 2026!

BLC Queensland Pty Ltd Commerical Landscaping is the successful tenderer for the project which includes a new adventure playground, water play, flying fox, multipurpose court and new places to picnic, barbecue and connect in nature. The $8.623 million project is expected to be completed in early 2027.

The precinct will also be home to Dalby's new cultural centre which will include a library, art gallery, visitor information centre, and multipurpose cinema.

Each element of the park has been designed with accessibility and inclusivity in mind to ensure the precinct is a welcoming, safe and enjoyable space for everyone in our community.

We listened very carefully to our community's hopes and dreams for how this precinct will shape arts, culture and parkland recreation in Dalby, and for all of the Western Downs.

The community’s vision has inspired a beautiful, functional space for cultural pursuits, facilities to engage our youth, a social hub, and a gateway to our region, thoughtfully and seamlessly embedded in the natural beauty of Thomas Jack Park.

Council will endeavour to keep the Dalby community updated on the progress of the construction timeline but if you'd like project updates delivered directly to your email inbox - head to the right side of this page to opt in!
