New Farm Park vision project - New Farm
Brisbane City Council consulted with the community to help create a vision for New Farm Park. Feedback gathered helped Council understand what you love about the park and how you want to use it in the future.
We're protecting and improving greenspace to make it easier for you to enjoy your city's great lifestyle. The New Farm Park vision is part of Council's commitment to enhancing and maintaining more than 2160 parks across the city.
Council released the New Farm Park Vision in January 2023. Any actions Council has identified in the vision will be subject to future budget prioritisation and allocations.
