New play equipment coming to Brian Bulman Park
Families, get ready to climb, swing, crawl and slide, as Rockhampton Regional Council is about to install brand new play equipment at Brian Bulman Park in Norman Gardens.
Parks, Sport and Public Spaces Councillor Cherie Rutherford said the brand new playground is sure to please with a range of play structures designed to encourage imaginative play.
“Little explorers will be able to walk the plank, crawl through the tunnel, climb the net, escape down the slide, and much more with this fantastic new equipment,” Cr Rutherford said.
“We are committed to continuing to improve our parks and public spaces and the addition of more play equipment is one way that we can meet the needs of families across the Region.”

Walking and riding to school has been made easier for students of St Anthony’s Primary School in Rockhampton, with the completion of a new footpath.
The 1.5 metre wide footpath was constructed on Bruigom Street, Norman Gardens, and connected the school grounds to the existing pedestrian crossing on Moores Creek Road.
Councillor Ellen Smith said the project was important to ensure the safety of children while getting to and from school.
“We know that a number of students go to the daycare on the corner of Moores Creek Road and Bruigom Street for before and after school care, so the upgrades mean these students will have a safe passage from the school to the daycare,” Ms Smith said.

The mayor and two councillors at Rockhampton Regional Council have formally rejected providing support for Clive Palmer’s proposed coal project - a day before its final environmental approval deadline.
The Central Queensland Coal Project is a proposed metallurgical coal development located on the Bruce Hwy, near St Lawrence, between Rockhampton and Mackay.
The company plans to commence construction in July 2022 and would employ up to 250 people.
It is currently awaiting State Government and Commonwealth approval before construction and operations can begin.
The project has been subject to concerns from the Independent Expert Scientific Committee (IESC) on Coal Seam Gas and Large Coal Mining Development.
