Consultation has concluded
Elliott Heads Park forms part of the broader Elliott Heads River and Beach foreshore which is a popular destination for residents throughout the Bundaberg region as well as visitors to the area.
In 2019 Bundaberg Regional Council completed the Elliott Heads foreshore redevelopment which was predominately centred on improving roads, pathways and parking within this area.
The construction of the Recreation Plaza will enhance and complement this redevelopment through the provision of appropriate recreational facilities for all age groups. The need for this style of facility was demonstrated by a community petition received in 2017 and further supported during the community consultation work which was undertaken during 2019.
The proposed location for the Recreation Plaza was originally the area to the west of the existing community hall and carpark. However, following Community feedback during the community consultation stage and a recent upgrade to the sewerage network in the area, the location has been changed to an area east of the existing playground and basketball court where the effluent disposal system is currently located. This location also takes advantage of the proximity to existing facilities such as toilet block, canteen, playground and basketball court.
The Concept Plan for the Elliott Heads Recreation Plaza has now been developed. Various 3D artists' impressions can be viewed in the Documents section to the right.
Council would appreciate your feedback, below.
This project is a joint initiative of Bundaberg Regional Council and the Queensland Government.
