Demonstration Garden Master Site Plan
In 2015, a plan was developed for demonstration gardens on the southern bank of Lake Tondoon. They would show how local native species could be used in the Gladstone Region, focusing on:
- Port Curtis plants in your own garden
- How to grow your own produce organically at home
- Research and development
- Pacific flora link garden
