Council is currently redeveloping Kenrick St Park and Fisher Road Park, Gordonvale into a new exciting destination park for the community.

As part of this significant project, Council would like to rename the park and is inviting the community to provide suggestions for a suitable name.

In accordance with the Naming of Community Infrastructure Policy ( PDF, 0.16 MB ), any suggested names must fit within the following categories:

  • Geographic/natural features located nearby or flora and fauna endemic or native to the area,
  • Events, moments or people of historic significance from the local area, for example, significant pioneering families, early settlers, military campaigns or events such as a solar eclipse.
  • Names with local cultural significance for Traditional Custodians with a strong connection to the subject land.

Parks are to be dual named with a name chosen by the public and one by the Traditional Owners. In this instance, the Traditional Owners have chosen “Gujura Park”, which refers to very bushy or leafy trees which will adorn the park.

Council will evaluate the names submitted by the community and a name that best suits the site, community desires, and meets the policy naming criteria, will be recommended to Council for approval.

Please submit a name for the park below, giving reasons or information as to why the name should be chosen.

Submissions are open until 5pm Thursday 22 February 2024.
