MAJOR changes are planned over the next 50 years for Queanbeyan’s urban landscape, including the creation of a botanical garden.
Delivered in stages, the project – currently in the concept design stage – will transform a city-owned parcel of parkland on the east side of the Queanbeyan River into a Botanical Sister City Garden.
One of only a handful of major regional cities without its own botanical garden, Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council’s (QPRC) mayor Tim Overall sees the project as “visionary” and a “long-term investment” in the city’s tourism.
