Stan Camm Park, located on Bundesen Avenue in Midge Point, is set to undergo a makeover in early-January 2025.
Deputy Mayor Karen May said the upgrades were part of Mackay Regional Council’s ongoing commitment to enhance the liveability of the region.
“These works will transform the park into a vibrant and functional space for the community,” Deputy Mayor May said.
“Investing in projects like this is about providing spaces where residents can connect, stay active and enjoy quality time outdoors,” she said.
“We’ve taken the community’s feedback on board and tailored the upgrades to meet their needs, ensuring Stan Camm Park remains a valued local asset into the future.”
The upgrades include:
• A half basketball court and hitting wall.
• A new picnic shelter with additional barbecue and picnic settings.
• A modern amenities block, including a unisex disability cubicle and two ambulant cubicles. This will replace the old Windyloo toilet.
• Additional footpaths.
• A formalised car park with a DDA-compliant parking bay and a refurbished bus shelter.
• Upgraded fencing with a contemporary post-and-rail design.
The existing picnic shelter, complete with an electric barbecue, will remain as part of the improved park layout. However, the old woodfire barbeques will be removed.
Minister for Local Government and Water Ann Leahy said this project was proudly funded by the Queensland Government’s Works for Queensland Program in association with Mackay Regional Council.
"I’m delighted our government has been able to assist Mackay Regional Council to secure this critical green space for local residents,” Minister Leahy said.
"When finished, the park will have something for everybody – a new picnic area, electric barbeques, a half basketball court, plenty of car parking and access to public transport,” she said.
To complete these upgrades, the park will be temporarily closed during the works.
The works are expected to be completed by early May 2025, weather permitting. Residents may notice some dust and noise in the area during this time.
Council thanks the community for their patience and understanding as we work to deliver these exciting enhancements.
