Victoria Park / Barrambin - Spring Hill Common
Brisbane City Council is commencing construction on the Spring Hill Common at Victoria Park / Barrambin. Spring Hill Common will provide the local community with a relaxed parkland setting and lifestyle destination in Brisbane’s inner city.
The area will feature tiered stepped seating and a flat outdoor space for active and healthy activities, community gatherings and picnicking. Spring Hill Common will be located on the Spring Hill side of the park, in the south-western corner.
This project is part of the early stages of the overall Victoria Park / Barrambin Master Plan.

Construction impacts
Victoria Park / Barrambin will remain open during the works, however fencing will be in place to enclose the construction area, for the safety of workers and the community.
There will be some construction noise, minor dust, minor vibration, and increased vehicle movement in the surrounding streets and within the park.
The community can anticipate temporary access changes to the pathways around the park. Signage will be in place to guide pedestrians and park users.
