A botanical garden will transform parkland on the east side of the Queanbeyan river into a Botanical Sister City Garden, reports
BELINDA STRAHORN
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.

Three of the four main dams of Canberra, the Cotter, Corin, and Bendora are all sitting at 100 per cent capacity…. so much water; where has it all come from?
NICK OVERALL takes a look.
SITTING behind the huge concrete dams of Canberra right now is around 270 billion litres of water, or the equivalent of 100,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
Three of the four main dams of Canberra, the Cotter, Corin, and Bendora are all sitting at 100 per cent capacity.
Googong Dam, upstream from Queanbeyan, is the only one holding below its full capacity at 95 per cent.
