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.

Remediation works at James Warner Park are underway and we’ll be starting work in C.T. White Park from early September 2026, weather and site conditions permitting.  

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 is currently expected to remain closed until December. We’ll let you know a more specific re-opening date as works progress as this is subject to weather and site conditions.

Sections of the bikeway in the park and footpath on the western side of Hamilton Street will be closed intermittently during the initial stages of work in C.T. White Park.

When closed, a detour will be in place on the eastern side of Hamilton Street. There will also be some intermittent closures of Hamilton Street, but the detour for pedestrians and cyclists will remain accessible. See our latest works notice for more information.
