We're upgrading John Oxley Park in Chinderah with new picnic tables, shelters and a public toilet, designed to be more flood resilient, welcoming and accessible for everyone to enjoy.
Improved connecting pathways will enhance access to the existing park amenities and the accessible parking bay. Located along the southern shoreline of the Tweed River, next to the popular Chinderah boat ramp, the park will become more inviting, offering opportunities to view the river while supporting the health and wellbeing of Chinderah residents and visitors.
Project Schedule
- Planning: Mid 2024
- Construction: Mid 2025
What’s involved
- Demolition of existing toilet block and shelters
- One unisex accessible public toilet
- Park shelters (one large, one small)
- Picnic tables
- Linking pathways
- Rubbish bins
Why it's happening
The February 2022 flood damaged the internal and external walls and doors of the public toilet, its fixtures and fittings. The upgrade of public toilet is a high priority in Council’s Open Space Strategy.
How it’s getting done
Budget: $347,560
Jointly funded by the Australian and NSW Governments.
