Hanlon Park Stage 1 – Opens to the public
A project milestone for our Civil and Water team saw a community get it’s creek back. Alan Hoban and Ashley Flower of Bligh Tanner were among the crowd at the opening of Hanlon Park (Stage 1) on the 29th May. The new creek was officially opened by the Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner and Councilor Fiona Cunningham Brisbane City Council, joined by an enthusiastic crowd of local residents, families and children. Hanlon Park showcases what’s possible when good design enables people to reconnect with their local environment. The project includes the renaturalisation of an 800 m of concrete stormwater channel and the redevelopment of parkland, with lots of opportunities for natureplay.
Hanlon Park’s success paves the way for the rehabilitation and rewilding of other sites across Brisbane, allowing communities access to an outcome that is both highly functional and also beautiful.
