DO YOU have a great idea for Wilkins Park in Pacific Paradise? If you do, then Sunshine Coast Council wants to hear from you as they make provisions for the future of the much-loved park.  

Share your ideas on potential improvements for this well-loved local park. 

Known for its skate park, basketball half-court, playground, and mature trees, Sunshine Coast Council wants your ideas to help plan for the future of this shady community park. 

Sunshine Coast Division 8 Councillor Taylor Bunnag said he’d heard from the community that the park could use some love. 

“To ensure any future upgrades align with what the community needs and Council’s guidelines, we are engaging with residents to gather ideas and develop a concept plan,” Cr Bunnag said. 

“We want to hear from you about how you use the park and seek your opinion on what improvements might be possible in the future. 

“There’s a range of ways you can get involved between March 3 to 28.  

“You can complete an online survey and contribute to our online ideas board where you can suggest improvements, comment on other ideas, and help shape the vision for the park. 

“You can also join us at a community pop-up event to chat with the project team and join in some fun activities. 

“This is another great way we’re connecting and engaging with our communities to build a better future for everyone.”

Council will share the draft plan with the community for further feedback before finalising. The final concept plan will guide future improvements and funding opportunities for Wilkins Park. 

“Your input is crucial in shaping a park that meets the needs of our community so we can explore future investment opportunities,” Cr Bunnag said.
