Project update 6 March 2025

Thank you for providing feedback on the draft concept plan. The feedback you provided has been consolidated into a community engagement report and has shaped the final concept plan.

The construction of the car park was completed in early 2025. Construction of the toilet block will commence on the 24 March to 16 May and the playground construction is planned for mid 2025.


We're enhancing Chinderah's Turnock Park with a new themed play space, new public toilets, and park facilities designed to be more flood resilient, welcoming and accessible for everyone to enjoy. Works on the internal car park, incuding the new access via Chinderah Bay Drive is now complete.

The project will ensure Turnock Park is safer, more inviting, and continues to support the health and wellbeing of Chinderah residents and visitors.

The draft concept plan was placed on public exhibition from 26 June to 24 July 2024.

The community was invited to join us for a FREE BBQ breakfast at Turnock Park on Sunday, 21 July from 9am to 11am to discuss their ideas with Council staff and provide feedback on the draft plans.


What’s involved

  • New play equipment and swings for 2- to 13 year olds
  • Nature play
  • New toilet block with one unisex accessible toilet, one male toilet and one female ambulant toilet
  • Accessible barbeque, picnic tables and shelters
  • Seating and drinking fountain
  • Connecting pathways
  • Ornamental entrance
  • Asphalt car park with an accessible parking space
  • Existing vehicle entrance to be relocated to Chinderah Bay Dr
  • Drainage improvements




Why it’s happening?

During the February 2002 flood, floodwater inundated the park, causing substantial damage to the park’s internal access road and car park. The upgrade of Turnock Park including the playground and public toilets is a high priority in Council’s Open Space Strategy.
