A landmark agreement between the Australian Government, the State Government and the mayors of South East Queensland will inject $120 million into the ongoing transformation of Victoria Park, including the “Adventurescape” all-abilities playground.
The Australian Government, Queensland Government and Schrinner Council will each contribute $40 million to deliver Victoria Park catalyst works, including:
- An all-ages, all-abilities playground incorporating natural elements like sticks, vegetation and rocks for nature play
- A two-kilometre “Parkway Loop” boulevard linking the existing land bridge over the Inner City Bypass and the Brisbane Metro and busway station
- A new active transport bridge at the entrance of the park
- Road and intersection upgrades to improve safety and accessibility in the park
- New administration and operations buildings
- Wayfinding signs and public art
- Additional car parking facilities

More than 51,000 ideas were put forward when Brisbane residents were consulted on the Victoria Park Vision. These include the Adventurescape all-abilities Playground, Parkway Loop, Spring Hill Common and Urban Pump Track.
Work on the Spring Hill Common is now complete. The Urban Pump Track is due to open later this year.
“Our city is growing rapidly, and we’re working with all levels of government to help keep Brisbane moving,” said Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner.
“With more people choosing to call Brisbane home, we’re keen to create more to see and do for people of all ages and abilities.
“Brisbane is one of the best places in the world to live. By investing in destinations like Victoria Park, we can help make it even better.”
