Benefits
  • Improved recreation facilities for residents and visitors.
  • Improved access and safety for park users.

This project is one of the many ways we are creating more to see and do in the suburbs. It supports our goal of being a healthy and active city.

Initial works focus on improving how people move into and around the park. They will lay the foundations for future upgrades to be completed.

Initial works include:

  • building a new 2‑lane park entry from Cadogan Street to provide safer access to the car park
  • removing the existing 1-lane park entry from Bedivere Street and returning this area to open parkland
  • expanding the car park with more spaces
  • upgrading and realigning shared paths
  • adding safer crossing points
  • removal of some vegetation
  • replanting of vegetation to retain the reserves habitat value.

The reserve is home to koalas and other native wildlife. A qualified wildlife spotter-catcher will monitor the animals to ensure they are protected during construction. 

In November 2025, we asked the community for feedback on a draft concept plan for the park upgrade.

Feedback was collected via an online feedback survey and 2 in-person information kiosks. We also considered feedback about the park collected by the Chandler Ward Office in 2024.

We’d like to thank everyone who took the time to share their ideas and priorities in 2025. 

  • November 2025: Community engagement to seek input on draft concept plan.
  • Mid-2026: Release final concept plan.
  • May 2026: Initial works to start.
  • Late 2026: Initial works complete. 

Works will take place from mid-May 2026 to late 2026, between 7am to 5pm, Monday to Saturday.

The park will largely remain open while works are underway.

From Monday 28 September to Friday 23 October 2026, the Bedivere Street access road and internal car park will be closed. These closures are needed to connect a new two-lane access road from Cadogan Street. The new entrance will connect to the existing car park.

Alternative parking is available on Cadogan Street during the closure period. The construction team will aim to reopen the car park outside work hours where possible.

During construction, you may notice:

  • temporary path changes or short detours
  • construction machinery operating within fenced work zones
  • intermittent changes and closures to the existing access road and internal car park
  • increased noise, dust and vehicle movement
  • fenced site compound, laydown and construction areas
  • signage and traffic controllers to guide you safely.

We appreciate your patience while we complete these works and we will minimise impacts as much as possible.

Future upgrade stages in Carindale Recreation Reserve are being planned and may be subject to the availability of future funding. We’re committed to keeping the community informed and will provide more information as the project progresses.
