Moreton Bay residents are being invited to help shape the future of a key recreational space by having their say on the development of a Master Plan for Centenary Lakes Park in Caboolture.
Mayor Peter Flannery says the feedback from residents will ensure the park meets the community's needs and expectations in the future.
“Centenary Lakes Park has worn the ravages of time since it was established way back in the 1970’s, not to mention the recent flood damage,” Mayor Flannery says.
“Council recognises the need for upgrades to the park to make it more attractive and accessible to the community while protecting the natural beauty of its waterways.
“The park has always been a popular spot with local families, visitors and sporting groups, that’s why your input into a Master Plan will be key to our success in creating a park worthy of our vibrant, thriving community.”
Division 3 Councillor Adam Hain says it’s important that facilities are flood resilient.
“Honestly, the current design of the park isn’t working as well as it could, and the recent floods haven’t helped matters” he says.
“Pedestrian paths, car parking and access for people with disabilities, all need to be improved to make Centenary Lakes a better recreational place for our community.
“Our vision is a vibrant, active parkland that draws people in because Centenary Lakes is one of the jewels of Moreton Bay and I believe upgrading the parkland will make it more accessible and enjoyable for everyone.”
Share your ideas
Council is inviting community members to share their ideas for the future of the parkland using an interactive map at www.yoursay.moretonbay.qld.gov.au/centenarylakesrevamp
The map will gather feedback about parkland areas community members currently enjoy and areas they would like to see improved.
Council is also consulting sporting groups at Centenary Lakes to identify their future needs.
Consultation will be open until Friday, June 10, 2022.
