More than 1000 Brisbane residents have shared their ideas for Brisbane’s biggest new park in 50 years, including some of our city’s prominent architects and designers.

Some of the concepts which have been shared by Brisbane City Council include reforesting the park, designing a space that allows the appreciation of wildlife and rich cultural heritage, creating water play elements including rock pools, and creating an accessible and active pedestrian-focused place that brings people together.

Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner said Council hoped the ideas would "capture the imagination of residents" and inspire more of them to submit their own vision for Victoria Park.

“Leading Brisbane designers, including Place Design Group, Lat27, Conrad Gargett, Tract and Urbis have created some conceptual ideas that will help residents think out of the box.

“There is a huge amount of green space at Victoria Park, which offers endless opportunities to transform this land into a public parkland that is uniquely Brisbane.

“We have received some great feedback so far, with more than 830 people completing our online survey and about 250 submissions received."

The Victoria Park Vision will transform the site into a 45-hectare park, doubling its existing size.

The current Victoria Park function centre, wedding venue, putt putt course and driving range will remain.

Environment, Parks and Sustainability Chair Fiona Hammond said it had been amazing that residents from right across Brisbane had been contributing their thoughts on what they wanted.

“This is a park for all of Brisbane, including all our wonderful visitors,” she said.

A Victoria Park Party will be held on September 22, allowing residents to explore the entire site, as well as speak to the project team.

Victoria Park Vision consultation will close on 29 September.
