Kershaw Gardens new look revealed

Published on 13 October 2015

It's out! And it looks fabulous!

At least that's Rockhampton Region Mayor Margaret Strelow's opinion of the preliminary drawings for the new look Kershaw Gardens.

However, Mayor Strelow said she is keen to hear your thoughts.

“The draft plan keeps the natural 'Australian native' feel of the Gardens while recognising the transformation wrought by Marcia,” Mayor Strelow said.  

“We know we can't put it back to the way it was.”

Kershaw Gardens redevelopment is deemed as Rockhampton's Big Backyard - and the emphasis is on natural play opportunities,  unstructured activity and families.

“The Water play and an amphitheatre coupled with custom designed furniture will mean Kershaw Gardens will rival the most popular parks anywhere in Queensland,” Mayor Strelow said.

Community consultation will commence today and continue over a four week period.
