Brisbane City Council has already released the draft concept plan for the upgrade of Hanlon Park, between Cornwall and O’Keefe streets in Greenslopes.
Locals can provide their thoughts about the draft concept plan by completing the survey online.
Hanlon Park Project
Hanlon Park is a large, open green space in the heart of Stones Corner. It is being revitalised as a priority precinct of the Norman Creek 2012-2031 Master Plan. The said Master Plan guides key initiatives to revitalise one of the city’s most urbanised catchments.
The Hanlon Park Project involves transforming the park into an attractive and versatile public space to support the growing Stones Corner Precinct – creating a vibrant urban oasis with more to see and do.
The Hanlon Park project will deliver a space that:
- revitalises Norman Creek, which runs through the park
- enhances the environment with more trees and natural spaces
- increases recreational and social opportunities for residents and visitors
- enhances connectivity and accessibility within the park and local area
- boosts local economic vibrancy with a new place to relax and enjoy.
Hanlon Park Draft Concept Plan
The draft concept plan for Hanlon Park is still subject to detailed design and further investigations following community feedback.
The following features are included in the Hanlon Park draft concept plan:
- A naturalised waterway corridor through Hanlon Park, including saltwater and freshwater resilient vegetation.
- New and upgraded pedestrian and cyclist pathways.
- Maintaining open grassy spaces and planting new trees to create shade and distinct areas within the park.
- New creative play spaces including an education trail and nature-themed play.
- A new small wetland in the southern section of Hanlon Park to create a rich biodiversity area, aid in improving water quality and provide visual amenity.
- An island and nature area adjacent to the small wetland to create a new place to reflect and relax.
- Formalised entry spaces and new park facilities including BBQs, seating and bike racks.
- New creek crossings and a stepping stone crossing over the naturalised waterway.
