Car Park Upgrade Heralds Stage Two of the Warrina Lakes Masterplan Delivery

Stage Two of the Warrina Lakes Community Parkland Master Plan is underway with an upgrade of the car park commencing next week.

Cassowary Coast Regional Council Division Five Councillor Jeff Baines said that this was great news for the community and a significant step forward in bringing the masterplan to life.

“During my time as Councillor community members have voiced their concerns with the car park, especially during wet weather, so I know this upgrade will be celebrated amongst the community,” said Cr. Baines.

“This project is part of our larger plan to make Warrina Lakes Community Parkland more enjoyable and accessible for everyone. By enhancing parking and formalising additional disabled parking we're creating a more welcoming and convenient experience for all visitors to the recreational facilities, including the recently opened pump track.”

Assistant Minister for Local Government Nikki Boyd said that the Palaszczuk Government was investing in regional communities with Works for Queensland.
“Works for Queensland has been a game changer for regional communities and we’re so proud to work with local governments like Cassowary Coast to deliver infrastructure which makes these communities even better places to live,” Assistant Minister Boyd said.

“The 2021-24 round of Works for Queensland has invested $3.27 million directly into infrastructure projects in Cassowary Coast, with the upgrade of the car park just one of four projects.

“The new car park will ensure more locals can enjoy the world-class lifestyle the Cassowary Coast has to offer, while delivering good local jobs.”

As Council improve the car park, there will be short-term impacts for visitors to Warrina Lakes, including a temporary closure of the main car park to allow for asphalt and line marking to occur and some noise impacts during working hours.

Works are expected to take about four weeks to complete, subject to weather and site conditions. Council appreciates the community’s understanding and patience during this time.

The $200,000 carpark upgrade project has been funded by the Queensland Government's Works for Queensland program.
