Benefits
  • Improve park health.
  • Protect and enhance the environment.
  • Preserve green spaces for community enjoyment.

James Warner Park and C.T. White Park are much-loved riverside spaces we’re working to maintain for everyone to enjoy. These parks have a rich history – once home to shipyards, wharves, and workshops, with the ground beneath still reflecting that past.

Testing has helped us understand the land and what’s needed to meet today’s standards. These works will improve the environment and restore green spaces so everyone can enjoy them for years to come.

Works include:

  • taking out old fill material under the soil and replacing it, planting new trees, laying new turf and landscaping the area
  • removing some trees, while protecting significant trees where possible, planting new trees and landscape enhancements
  • installation of a new deck around some trees in the dog park.

Work at James Warner Park will start in late April. Once that’s underway, we’ll move on to C.T. White Park. We’ll share another update before work begins there so you know what’s happening and what to expect.

If you live in or travel through the area, you may notice:

  • temporary closures of parts of the parks while works are happening in those areas
  • increased construction activity and noise during work hours
  • temporary closures of Council car parks on Annie Street, Hamilton Street and at the Brisbane Jazz Club
  • temporary narrowing of the Kangaroo Point Bikeway near the dog park.

The dog park will be closed for up to 4 months for works and turf establishment from late April.

The dog park, playground and other features you enjoy will all be reinstated after these works are complete.

We’ll provide clear signage onsite throughout the works.
