PROJECT UPDATE (MARCH 2023) - Thuringowa Park 

Thank you for your participation in the public consultation, held between 7 March to 5 April 2022, regarding the Thuringowa Park Open Space Renewal in Kirwan.

Council’s design team have reviewed your feedback and as a result of this consultation, the proposed renewal of Thuringowa Park Playground will include:

  • Replacement of play equipment with more play options, including swings, themed springers, percussion and imaginative play, as well as promoting an accessible and inclusive space for children; 
  • Installation of shade sails, picnic table and benches;
  • Renewal of the park seat, drinking fountain and fencing; 
  • Landscaping & irrigation. 

Council also received a number of comments in relation to renewing the existing dog park and installation of a small dog park. Please be aware that these works will not be included as part of this playground renewal project. These additional works have been identified and will be considered for future budget adoption.

Council thanks you for your contribution in developing and improving parks and open spaces within our community. Stay tuned for further updates on this exciting shovel-ready project!
