Banyan and Lions Park Community Consultation Commences

The community is being asked to join the conversation on the future of Banyan and Lions Park, Tully.

Cassowary Coast Regional Council Divisional Councillor Teresa Millwood said the Banyan Beautification project was an exciting project that the community was encouraged to get behind and have their say.

“The overall intention of the Beautification project is to enhance the appearance and sense of arrival into Tully. Visitors, both local and passing through, will be encouraged to spend time in Banyan and Lions Parks and make the most of our unique landscape and nearby friendly shopping area.

“I grew up in Tully and it’s my desire to preserve Tully’s historic small-town character, whilst promoting our community as a family-friendly place to visit, live and work.”

Councillor Millwood said the project will breathe new life into the area.

“Community consultation is now open and offers a range of tools for the community to provide feedback.

“I encourage you to visit Council’s Your Say page to help inform Council on your vision for the site. The first stage of Council’s community engagement process is to understand what you currently like about the park, what elements should remain, be removed or upgraded and what is missing from the site.

The feedback provided by you will help shape and determine what the detailed design looks like.”
