Plans for an exciting new âcanopy walkâ and nature-themed playground at the Botanic Gardens have been revealed as Rockhampton Regional Council cashes in on a $9.46 million State Government funding boost.
Rockhampton Regional Council has secured funding for three major projects through the latest round of the Palaszczuk governmentâs Works for Queensland program.
Along with $1.4 million for the Botanic Gardens Playground Renewal project, RRC has been allocated $1.6 million to refurbish the Fitzroy River Boardwalk on the lower bank and $6.46 million to upgrade the North Rockhampton Sewage Treatment Plant.
Rockhampton region Mayor Tony Williams said the projects would be rolled out over the next three years.
