Apple Tree Creek Community Park Upgrade
Consultation has concluded
Project update - September 2024
The shade structures have been installed over the playground, and the area is open for use in time for the September school holidays.
Project update - August 2024
Shade sail 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.
Shade sails installation
The shade sails will be installed starting Monday 2 September 2024.
The work will take approximately one week to complete.
During this time the playground will be closed for safety reasons.
Visitors will still be able to access the park area.
Project update - May 2024
Apple Tree Creek Community Park re-opened to the community on the afternoon of 15 May 2024.
Some final concrete work and laying of turf will take place on Tuesday 21 and Wednesday 22 May 2024.
Shade sails will be installed over the play equipment at a date to be advised.
Project update - April 2024
New barbecues, shelters and pathways have been installed in the park.
The next key step will be to install the new playground equipment (some equipment has already been installed) and then shade sails over the playground.
Final works will include installing softfall and drainage for the site.

Project information - 2021
The Apple Tree Creek Community Park will be upgraded, as part of Bundaberg Regional Council’s Parks Capital Renewal Program 2021 – 2022 .
This project will ensure the park supports the recreation needs of the surrounding community and is in keeping with Council infrastructure standards; and was identified in the Parks and Open Strategy 2019 – 2026.
The existing play equipment has been removed early on in the project as it was flood damaged.
A new playground will cater for children 0 – 15 years.
The internal pathways will be upgraded to connect to the toilet block facility.
The need for additional shelters, barbecues and picnic facilities will be considered in the design process as this park caters for the local, regional and travelling public.
The need for additional bins, water bubblers and landscaping will also be considered.
The existing flagpole located in Apple Tree Creek Recreation Reserve, next to the Apple Tree Creek Community Park, has deteriorated and we are considering options with the RSL Isis Sub Branch Inc. and the broader community.
