The challenge
Council wanted a new nature play area in the Warrina Lakes Community Parklands, Stage 3 of the parklands master plan. Funded through the Queensland Government's Works for Queensland program, it had to reflect what the community asked for, fit around the existing pavilion, pump track and mature trees, and be delivered within the program's funding and timeframes.
