Art Gallery and deck
During the café deck replacement works the Art Gallery, and toilets located behind the building, will be closed. We look forward to opening these facilities up once the deck work is complete.
Please see below for more information regarding the café deck replacement.
Café
Gladstone Regional Council has been successful in securing Works for Queensland funding to replace the café deck at Gladstone Tondoon Botanic Gardens.
Stage 1 works involving replacement of the existing timber deck and boardwalk leading to the café are complete.
Stage 2 works related to building access will be carried out as part of Council’s 21/22 capital works.
Gladstone Tondoon Botanic Gardens Café Deck Replacement project is a Queensland Government Works for Queensland project.
Council looks forward to unveiling the new deck and café area once completed.

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
