After much speculation from Logan City locals and another local news outlet incorrectly reporting the Springwood Park cenotaph would be overrun, Councillor Lisa Bradley has finally shared the proposed Springwood Park master plan.
Cr Bradley took to social media to set the record straight after the onslaught of an incorrect news article regarding the ANZAC memorial.
“The concepts for this plan have come from the community,” she said.
“The Anzac memorial will be respected and an easier Anzac gathering space created with an arbour running along the internal road.”
Cr Bradley said Council had recently sent a letter to a large catchment, seeking feedback on the Springwood Park masterplan.
Springwood Park is a major park in Springwood, located off Cinderella Drive with connections to Briggs Road.
Cr Bradley said Council is developing a conceptual master plan for Springwood Park to complement the natural settings and its significance as a major park in Logan City.

“A series of boardwalks, paths, lookouts and bridges, alongside the revegetated creek will create movement across the site, and connect Briggs road to Cinderella Drive, and Springwood Park to Marlane Court,” she said.
“The internal road will become a one-way road with parking on either side to facilitate more parking.
“The area of the park fronting Cinderella Drive will be revamped with new shelters and planting, small library houses for book exchanges and a new entrance created.
“The existing toilet will be removed and replaced closer to the road and the playground. The playground will be upgraded and will include water play elements.
“A natural amphitheatre will be created in the location of the removed toilet and will include a small stage.
“New Moreton bay fig trees will replace the non-native vegetation in the area, creating shade and the perfect backdrop for both the stage and the playground. Bird houses, possum boxes and native bee homes will enhance the natural setting.
“An extension to the park along Cinderella Drive will include a dog off leash park for small and large dogs, and an exercise zone. A new urban plaza at Briggs Street will provide additional spaces for the community to meet.”
Cr Bradley said Council is interested in the community’s thoughts on the masterplan design. To provide feedback on the proposal you are invited to ‘have your say’ on Council’s website, by no later than Friday 18 December.
