Centenary Lakes has been a key City of Moreton Bay park since the 1970s, but community needs have changed, and recent floods have highlighted vulnerabilities.
The site is home to a wide range of sporting clubs and attracts visitors from across City of Moreton Bay. Upgrades are necessary to enhance facilities, enhance flood resilience, and make the park more accessible to everyone.

Master plan: A long-term vision for Centenary Lakes (10–15 years) that sets out how the site will grow and change. It will shape land use, transport, open space, and community facilities.

Interim development plan (IDP): A short-to-medium-term plan (now to 10 years) to address immediate needs while the master plan is being finalised. It focuses on facility upgrades, flood resilience, parking, and accessibility.

No, not all areas of the Caboolture Sports Complex are proposed for development in the draft interim development plan. However, we acknowledge the value of these existing facilities and are prioritising their future development. This planning will be reflected in the final master plan for the complex, which aims to support the needs of all sporting clubs while aligning with broader community and recreational goals for Centenary Lakes.

The draft IDP proposes:

• redeveloped 400m natural turf athletics track and spectator seating

• new junior rugby league field

• new netball/multi-purpose courts

• redevelopment of the former Caboolture Bowls Club site into a community/events space

• improved internal access roads and car parking.

During consultation with clubs at the Caboolture Sports Complex in 2022, we were advised that the Caboolture Memorial Bowls Club was experiencing a decline in membership, with remaining members relocating to other local clubs.

To maintain community use of the site, Council acquired the land from the Caboolture Sports Club (now Caboolture Sports Group) in May 2025.

The current lease arrangements will remain in place until the interim draft development plan is adopted and funding for the project is secured.

In 2022, Council asked the community to share what they loved about Centenary Lakes and what could be improved.

Common themes included:

• strain on car parking

• flooding risks

• lack of toilets and storage facilities

• need to improve accessibility for participants and spectators.

The draft Infrastructure Development Plan addresses these issues directly, while the master planning process continues.

Since 2022, Council has been carefully considering both short-term and long-term priorities for Centenary Lakes.
This included negotiating the purchase of the former Caboolture Bowls Club site in 2025, which creates new opportunities for future development.
The interim plan provides a practical “stepping stone” to deliver immediate improvements while the longer master plan process progresses.

Community consultation runs from 27 August to 24 September 2025.

• Visit the Your Say Moreton Bay project page to read the plan and complete the feedback form

• Email comments directly to yoursay@moretonbay.qld.gov.au

• Sports clubs are invited to a dedicated pre-consultation information session on Monday 25 August 2025, at Caboolture Sports Club.

All feedback will be reviewed against community needs, site conditions, best-practice design, and future sporting network planning.
A summary of community input will be published on the project webpage in October 2025.
The final interim plan will then be refined and presented to Council for endorsement.
