Grants boost local conservation projects
Words by Nick Crockford
A popular Moreton Bay park, undergoing significant upgrades, is to reopen this weekend for the school holidays.
Mick Hanfling Park at Lake Kurwongbah - which has barbecues, picnic areas, canoeing, kayaking and paddling - has been closed since July.
Work by Seqwater includes improving accessibly to the recreation area, road widening, parking upgrades, drainage and landscaping.
However, it will temporarily reopen on Saturday (September 19) for the two-week school holidays and then close again for additional work.
This will include completing remaining upgrades including a new toilet block, inclusive access picnic shelter, access path to the water and a new kayak washdown slab.
Access to Mick Hanfling Park is off Torrens Rd and Beeville Rd
