Council received a request to name the park in recognition of Ken Hatchman's contribution to the community.

Mr Hatchman, a dedicated Mango Hill resident has significantly contributed to the community through his roles in the Mango Hill Progress Association and Pine Rivers Apex Club, earning Life Membership in 2017.

Ken's volunteer work and his contributions to the community are significant. As a dedicated educator he played an important role in shaping the community's values around both learning and personal development.

You can read more about the reasons for the proposed naming of Ken Hatchman park in Council's General Meeting Minutes 21 August 2024.

Between 1 November to 28 November 2024, Council is inviting community comments on the proposed name.

Council recognises the significant social value to the community of naming places, structures and assets under its direct control.

We see naming as important because it helps to create amazing places by:

• identifying landmarks within the community
• supporting wayfinding for locals, visitors and emergency services agencies
• contributing to community belonging and place identity
• reflecting and preserving the cultural and heritage values of the city.

Council undertakes naming in accordance with our Policy for Council-owned or administered public places, structures and other assets (excluding roads).

Comments in relation to the proposed naming will be accepted up until Thursday 28 November 2024.
