We are exploring the idea of creating a regional botanic garden on parkland along the Queanbeyan River, from Morisset St to the Railway corridor. The concept behind the project is to establish a beautiful public botanic garden that celebrates the many cultures of our district. It would be a celebration, through plantings, of our significant Aboriginal culture, sister city relations and friendships, and other aspects of our rich and diverse community.
The project aims to open up the large area of public parkland along the river, from Morisset St to the south and the rail corridor at the north. It is proposed to retain and enhance existing parks, like Peace Park, Blundell Park, and the dog off lead area.
What’s proposed?
Preservation and restoration of the Queanbeyan river riparian zone.
Extension of river walk to the east side of the river. Connect to existing river walk and CBD
Addition of bush tucker and cultural plantings, in consultation with local Ngambri/Ngunnawal community
Retention and arboriculture work to existing mature trees
Re-design existing Blundell playground into an inter-generational play and nature play space with family picnic/BBQ facilities.
Incorporate mix of gardens, open space, fields, trees, trails, facilities
Clear up weed infested areas
Public Art
Establish a “Friends of the Gardens” group. We hope to to establish a “Friends of the Gardens” group to help deliver and care for the gardens over the long life of a botanical project
