Brisbane City Council have unveiled new concepts for the transformation of Brisbane's Victoria Park golf course into a 45-hectare inner city park.
Created by leading Brisbane consultants to inspire big ideas and to achieve a world-class parkland. Each of the concepts offer different ideas for the future of the park.
“We hope these ideas will capture the imagination of residents and inspire more of them to submit their vision for Victoria Park,” Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner said
“There is a huge amount of greenspace at Victoria Park, it’s as big as about 45 football fields, and this offers endless opportunities to transform this land into a public parkland that is uniquely Brisbane.”
