What did you have to say about the QEII Master Plan?

Lots of valuable feedback was gathered at our community day on 25 March and online in the weeks after that.

We asked people a number of questions to draw out what we all value about QEII Park, both in the past and at the moment, as well as aspirational values for the future.

This feedback paints a picture of how the community wants to see the park evolve, and this will now be used to begin the development of the draft master plan. This process will take a few months, and we'll keep you updated.

Check out all the feedback here.
