First Settlers Memorial Park at Benarkin is popular with tourists as a day use area<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

February 7, 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n

First Settlers Memorial Park at Benarkin will get a $109,498 upgrade, including fencing and the erection of a new picnic shelter.<\/p>\n

South Burnett councillors voted unanimously to support the upgrade at the Infrastructure, Environment and Compliance Standing Committee last Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The improvements follow consultations with Benarkin residents last December.<\/p>\n

The day use area will be fenced on all four sides – at a cost of $51,780 – to provide a safe playground and picnic area for young children.<\/p>\n

The new picnic shelter is estimated to cost $28,000.<\/p>\n

Other small improvements include a new kitchen sink with running water in the Lions Shelter, removal of the wood barbecue and new bollards around the water treatment area to prevent vehicles parking in this zone.<\/p>\n
