Even better local parks

The 2023-24 Budget includes some fantastic park upgrades in our local area. This includes a new turf wicket for Ashgrove Cricket Club at Enoggera Memorial Park, Enoggera, and new synthetic grass pitches for Valley District Cricket Club at McConaghy Park, Mitchelton.

Council is also investigating how to improve the Newmarket dog off leash area at Sedgley Park, and Willmington Park in Alderley will see several improvements including upgraded playground equipment, better shelters and shade, and new footpaths for pedestrians and cyclists.New playground equipment will be installed at Kinnen Street Park in Enoggera, and Council is looking at upgrades to Heiner Park, Keperra. This includes investigating the viability of a new footpath around the circumference of the park.

Following significant investigation, remediation works will occur at Windsor Park. This means we will be able to build the Windsor dog off leash area. The Windsor Town Quarry Park will also receive upgrades including a new shelter and footpaths.

Safer access to local schools

I am committed to improving infrastructure to make it safer and easier for students and carers to travel to school. As part of the 2023-24 Budget, I secured funding for a number of local upgrades including:

More funding for community events

I continue to advocate for Enoggera Ward businesses and community groups to ensure they receive funding to make our area even better. Many local festivals were funded through the 2023-24 Budget, including Blackwood Street Halloween Festival, Mitchelton Carols in the Park, Northey Street City Farm Winter Solstice Festival, Wilston Village Christmas Festival, Rotary Carols by Candlelight in Dorrington Park, and more. Hundreds of events and festivals across Brisbane will have their permit fees radically reduced or cut all together in 2023-24. For more information, contact Council’s Business Hotline on 133 263.
