About the project
To support residential growth in MacGregor, and in response to findings in the Mount Gravatt Corridor Neighbourhood Plan, a new park was planned in Bedser Street.
The new park provides the growing residential community with a much-needed green space, shady spots to have lunch and enjoy the outdoors, as well as areas for recreational and community activities.
Bedser Street Park will contribute towards Council's commitment to creating new lifestyle and leisure opportunities by enhancing the park network to respond to a growing and changing Brisbane. The creation of the local recreation park is just one of the many ways Council is growing your Brisbane lifestyle.
