2024 Shade Sail Projects

Bundaberg Regional Council's Parks team will be installing new shade sails and cantilever shade structures across the region in 2024.

A vacuum truck will be used to excavate the holes for the poles generating some noise. Council apologises for any inconvenience caused.

During each upgrade the playground or skate park will be fenced off for safety reasons.

The projects will be completed by the due dates advised, weather and unforeseen delays permitting.

Apple Tree Creek Community Park, Apple Tree Creek

Shade structure posts installation

Work to install the shade sail posts commenced Tuesday 20 August 2024 and will continue for the remainder of the week.

During this time the playground will remain accessible to the community.

There is a partial closure of one of the footpaths, but the majority of the park remains open to the public.

Once the posts are installed the concrete will require time to dry and cure.
