An ambitious plan to revitalise Oxley Creek has been announced in the lead-up to the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Plans include a Tennyson/Graceville gateway linking the Brisbane River to the Creek; an Oxley bird sanctuary; Corinda-Creek gateway linking the neighbourhood to the Creek; and The Greenway, a corridor-wide initiative to improve accessibility and social mobility in the area.
Oxley Creek Transformation
The transformation of Oxley Creek involves the conversion of hundreds of hectares of underutilised land into a lifestyle destination.
Brisbane’s ‘Parks of the Future’
The next phase, Oxley Creek Common, will transform a former farm and wetland area into a 120-hectare parkland, to celebrate the region’s agricultural heritage and diverse wildlife.
The broader vision for Brisbane’s parks is to create world-class spaces that cater to the needs of residents and visitors alike. The idea is that investing in these projects will enhance Brisbane’s reputation as a vibrant and livable city.
The revitalisation of Oxley Creek is part of significant investments that also include Victoria Park, Kedron Brook, and the Wynnum, Manly, and Lota foreshores.
- Victoria Park: This 64-hectare park is being major overhauled, including an all-abilities playground, walking and cycling paths, and a treetop adventure course.
- Kedron Brook: A 20-year master plan to revitalise the 110-square-kilometre catchment, improving flood resilience and creating new recreational opportunities.
- Wynnum, Manly, and Lota Foreshore: A 20-year master plan to rejuvenate the coastline, building on existing infrastructure and adding new amenities.
As Brisbane prepares to host the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, these significant investments in public spaces will enhance the city’s appeal and leave a lasting legacy for future generations.
Details on the revitalisation plans are available for community consultation, expected to commence in 2025.
