We are upgrading Cosmos Park at Banksia Beach, Bribie Island to make it more inclusive. The layout of the park will be adjusted, and will include:

• Moreton Bay's first Council-owned pickleball courts
• improved park amenities, including more picnic shelters and seating
• a slightly larger dog off-leash park with separate fenced areas for large and small dogs, improved fencing, and more seating for dog owners
• improved safety, accessibility and pedestrian movement throughout the park
• new fitness equipment that caters to a range of ages and abilities
• a basketball key court and hoop
• a nature-inspired playspace.

Between 9 August and 6 September 2023, we invited community feedback on the draft Concept Plan for the upgrade. Thank you for completing the survey and sharing your views with us.

Generally, respondents were supportive of Cosmos Park being upgraded. Many respondents noted the plan makes greater use of Cosmos Park and provides spaces for recreational activities. Several respondents thought a greater range of facilities would encourage people to become more active and exercise. Many respondents acknowledged the changes would result in the area being used by more people but noted current toilet and carparking facilities may not be sufficient for increased demand.
