A recreation-focused playground proposal for South Burnett Regional Council with generous lawn, gathering structures and multi-age play experiences.
A regional playground concept for South Burnett Regional Council, set against the open water and camping edge of Boondooma Dam.
The proposal layers a climbing wall, tube slide, pergola gathering structure and open lawn so the space works for family visits, larger group camping and quiet daytime use across multiple age groups.
A stone-lined circular seat area with a central fire pit anchors the northern edge — designed as a yarning circle and after-dark gathering spot for campers, with lake outlook framed through retained gums.
