John Oxley Park Upgrade, Chinderah

Thank you for providing feedback on the draft concept plan. Feedback is now closed.

The feedback you provided has been consolidated into an engagement report, which will serve as valuable input for shaping the final concept plan.

We're upgrading John Oxley Park in Chinderah with new picnic tables, shelters and a public toilet, designed to be more flood resilient, welcoming and accessible for everyone to enjoy.

Improved connecting pathways will enhance access to the existing park amenities and the accessible parking bay. Located along the southern shoreline of the Tweed River, next to the popular Chinderah boat ramp, the park will become more inviting, offering opportunities to view the river while supporting the health and wellbeing of Chinderah residents and visitors.

The draft concept plan will be on public exhibition from 26 June to 24 July 2024.

What’s involved

• Demolition of existing public toilet block and shelters
• Install one unisex accessible public toilet
• Park shelters (one large and one small)
• Picnic tables
• Linking pathways
• Rubbish bins

Why it’s happening?

The February 2022 flood damaged the internal and external walls and doors of the public toilet, its fixtures and fittings. The upgrade of public toilet is a high priority in Council’s Open Space Strategy.
