COVID-19 Update for Council Facilities

When visiting a Council facility you will be required to check in using the Check In Qld App.

We ask that visitors do not attend our facilities if you; have returned from overseas or a COVID-19 hotspot in the last 14 days, have cold or flu like symptoms, have been in contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19 in the last 14 days. Interactions will be done as quickly and efficiently as possible to minimise face to face contact.

The legacy of Cassy Jones has grown even stronger following the recent completion of the Cassy Lives Skate Park upgrade.

Council undertook extensive community consultation prior to redesigning the skate park – firstly in October and November 2019 to understand the community’s needs and priorities regarding the skate park and again in July and August 2020 – with the latter offering the community a chance to vote on their favourite design.

The $325,000 Cassy Lives Skate Park upgrade works was fully funded by the Queensland Government's COVID Works for Queensland program.
