An ambitious plan to revitalise four key leisure and lifestyle destinations, including Oxley Creek, was announced in the lead-up to the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
LM Adrian Schrinner has outlined a vision to create “Brisbane’s parks of the future,” with significant investments planned for Victoria Park, Oxley Creek, Kedron Brook, and the Wynnum, Manly, and Lota foreshores.
Oxley Creek Transformation
A key focus of the Council’s plans is the transformation, an ambitious project to convert hundreds of hectares of underutilised land into a thriving lifestyle destination. The next phase, Oxley Creek Common, will transform a former farm and wetland area into a 120-hectare parkland, celebrating the region’s agricultural heritage and diverse wildlife.
The Council is collaborating with the State Government to advance the next stage of the transformation, with community consultation expected to commence in the coming year.
Brisbane’s ‘Parks of the Future’
The Council’s broader vision for Brisbane’s parks is to create world-class spaces that cater to the needs of residents and visitors alike. Investing in these projects will enhance Brisbane’s reputation as a vibrant and livable city.
Other Key Projects
- 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.
