Centenary Lakes has been a hub for sport and recreation since the 1970s, attracting visitors from across Moreton Bay and beyond. Community needs have changed over time, and recent floods have highlighted the importance of making the site more resilient.

It’s time to Revamp Centenary Lakes!

Our vision

Our vision is a vibrant, active parkland that draws people in.

We’re creating a parkland for a growing community. The Centenary Lakes Revamp will create new opportunities to enjoy the parkland in different ways.

Our parks are for everyone. We will improve access so everyone can enjoy Centenary Lakes.

There are some problems with the lakes that we need to fix.

  • Poor water quality
  • Aging and eroded edges to the lakes
  • Stagnant pools of water
  • Algae blooms and aquatic weeds
  • A decline in habitat value for wildlife
  • Broken or inappropriate pathways, including poor accessibility
  • Litter accumulating in lakes.

Council has already completed some high priority works in and around the lakes. This includes improving access to the lakes for routine maintenance and reducing the amount of litter entering the lakes from urban runoff. We’ve already installed the first stage of an improved pumping system to draw water from the Caboolture River.

The lakes renewal and upgrade work will:

  • Improve water quality and create a more natural flow of water through the lakes system
  • Improve access to paths and bridges, including for people with a disability
  • Reduce water contamination by litter and wildlife
  • Stabilise the banks of the lakes to stop erosion
  • Improve access for maintenance work.
