$1.3 million Queens Park upgrade officially opened

Thanks to $1.3 million from the Palaszczuk Government, taking the family to Queens Park is now even more enjoyable and safer with its lighting, pathways, landscaping and playground upgrades including an improved all-abilities play-space. At the official opening of the latest upgrade to Toowoomba’s Queens Park and Botanic Gardens, the Minister for Local Government Stirling Hinchliffe congratulated Mayor Paul Antonio and the entire Toowoomba Regional Council on their commitment to implementing the Queens Park Master Plan. “I am proud the Queensland Government could play its part in supporting Council’s Queens Park Master Plan Implementation Project with almost $1.3 million from the Local Government Grants and Subsidies Program,” Mr Hinchliffe said. “These new facilities confirm Queens Park as the go to place to meet in the city. “Not only are these beautiful gardens more accessible through improved pathways and lighting, but the park area is further enhanced by the playgrounds and landscaping along the Margaret Street frontage.
