About the project
Council is giving the community more to see and do in a clean and green Brisbane by reestablishing a sport and recreation precinct at Nudgee Recreation Reserve.
The reserve has a long sporting history dating back to the 1940s, with evidence of cricket and football being played on the site. Improvements to the reserve will deliver much-needed sporting and recreation facilities in the area.
Council plans to meet the needs of various sporting organisations and local associations and clubs who have expressed interest in formal multi-use sporting fields and facilities for year-round use. The draft concept plan proposes to support sporting activities for touch football, soccer and cricket.
To complement the formal sporting fields, Council is helping residents keep active and healthy by proposing new outdoor fitness equipment, an all-abilities playground, dog off-leash area and perimeter walking/running/cycling path.

Early site investigations
Nudgee Recreation Reserve has had various uses since the 1940s when it was used as an informal site for cricket matches. During the 1970s, the site was used for landfill for a two-year period. Sporting activities returned tot he site in the 1990s, after the landfill was closed, however were suspended after a short period as the fields were deemed unsuitable for use.
Council will be undertaking further investigations of the former landfill site from September 2019. This entails clearing vegetation dominated by invasive species. No significant trees will be removed and all works will be carried out in accordance with relevant environmental guidelines.
Community feedback
Council thanks the community for providing ideas to help shape the 'look and feel' of the final concept design for the Nudgee Recreation reserve improvement project. The online survey has now closed.
