About the project

The Stage 1 upgrades at Graceville Riverside Parklands are part of the broader Oxley Creek Transformation Project, a long-term initiative creating more opportunities for Brisbane residents to connect with nature, enjoy outdoor recreation and experience improved public spaces along the Oxley Creek corridor.

The improvements support a more welcoming, accessible and enjoyable parkland for the local community, while recognising the area’s natural environment and connection to place.

Stage 1 of the Graceville Riverside Parklands Revitalisation Project is jointly funded with a $1.475 million contribution from the Australian Government under the Thriving Suburbs Program and by Brisbane Sustainability Agency under the Oxley Creek Transformation Project.
