Queens Park Master Plan
A draft Queens Park Master Plan was prepared by the Trust in 2003 and has now been finalised and signed off by the Trust and the Minister. The aim of the Master Plan was to incorporate the relevant outcomes from the Plan of Management into Queens Park – namely the Transport Access and Parking Plan and Tree Master Plan.
In addition to understanding how the different plans would affect the Queen’s Park area, Centennial Parklands also wanted to look at areas of improvement which could be undertaken as part of the Park Improvement Plan.
The Plan
The key elements of the Plan are:
- Replanting of trees to edges and internal areas of the Park to provide more shade, and reconstructing the perimeter canopy, which is characteristic of the Parklands
- Upgrade of the existing playground
- Upgrade of the existing amenities buildings
- Construction of perimeter shared accessway as part of the regional transport network and for recreational pursuits
- Improving pedestrian and cycle links with Centennial Park at the corner of York Road and Musgrave Avenue
- Improving the sense of entry to the Park by creating paved entrances with seating and signage at key entry points
- Introduction of viewing ‘platforms’ and seating areas in the eastern parts of the Park to take advantage of elevated views
- Modifications to mowing regimes to develop varying ground effects
- The potential creation of a café/kiosk facility
Implementation of the Master Plan will be as part of the Park Improvement Plan over a 7 – 10 year period.
The draft plan was exhibited in September 2003 within Queens Park, at the Parklands Office and Superintendent’s Residence, local libraries and on the Centennial Parklands website.
Centennial Parklands officers also attended the Queens Park Precinct Committee meetings in August 2003 and November 2003 to provide a briefing on the Master Plan. Over 80 submissions were received regarding the Plan and the Trust considered the issues raised when finalising the plan.
