Victoria Park / Barrambin projects

Catalyst Works

planning in progress

The Victoria Park Catalyst Works are prioritised elements of the Victoria Park / Barrambin Master Plan that will improve the access and quality of park infrastructure.

This project will deliver several elements identified in the master plan including:

• an adventure playground with a dedicated amenities block
• The Parkway Loop - a 2-kilometre-long, accessible pathway loop connecting visitors to key features within the park
• upgraded vehicle access into the park off Herston Road, including a signalised intersection and new active travel entry bridge
• expanded car park facilities at the park's main entry
• a park administration and operations compound
• an extension to the existing land bridge
• all associated works including wayfinding signage, public utility plant and earthworks for the parkland.

These works set the park up to deliver on the master plan and need to be completed first to improve the accessibility of the park, infrastructure quality, and deliver exciting and inclusive community infrastructure.

Spring Hill Common

Spring Hill Common provides the community with a relaxed parkland setting and lifestyle destination in Brisbane. The area features tiered stepped seating and a large flat lawn perfect for picnicking, ball sports, small events and activities. It also includes drinking fountains, a fully accessible ramp and pathway leading from Gregory Terrace and an accessible car park space.

QUT Kelvin Grove busway entrance

Victoria Park / Barrambin can now be accessed directly from platform 1 of the QUT Kelvin Grove busway station, providing a convenient entry to the park and venues such as the function centre, driving range, bistro and putt putt. Direct access is also available from the Herston busway station.

Park furniture and shelters

More than 50 new pieces of furniture have been installed across the park. These include park benches, picnic tables, barbeques, drinking fountains, bike racks and shelters.

Furniture and shelters have been positioned in shady spots for respite or locations that take advantage of spectacular city or park views.

Herston busway entrance

This entrance provides direct access to the park from the Herston Grove busway station platform, making it even easier to get to the park along the Inner Northern Busway.
