Share your thoughts on the Puffing Billy Place Reserve and playground renewal draft plans Published: 8 April 2025

A draft masterplan has been prepared for Puffing Billy Place Reserve in Emerald and Council invites community feedback on the design options.

Council has incorporated feedback from the first round of community consultation to develop draft masterplans for the future redevelopment of Puffing Billy Reserve that aims to encourage visitation to the reserve and nearby town centre.  

The draft masterplans are now open for community feedback and Council is seeking feedback from all park users of all ages, on the types of park furniture and playground design they prefer.  

The community can view the draft Masterplan and provide input in various ways:
