New play equipment coming to Brian Bulman Park
Families, get ready to climb, swing, crawl and slide, as Rockhampton Regional Council is about to install brand new play equipment at Brian Bulman Park in Norman Gardens.
Parks, Sport and Public Spaces Councillor Cherie Rutherford said the brand new playground is sure to please with a range of play structures designed to encourage imaginative play.
“Little explorers will be able to walk the plank, crawl through the tunnel, climb the net, escape down the slide, and much more with this fantastic new equipment,” Cr Rutherford said.
“We are committed to continuing to improve our parks and public spaces and the addition of more play equipment is one way that we can meet the needs of families across the Region.”
A round of applause began the Rockhampton Regional Council meeting on Tuesday as new Mayor Tony Williams chaired his first meeting.
Cr Williams paid thanks to the councillors, council staff and the community for their patience over the past month during the by-election and said he was eager to take Rockhampton to the next step.
