“Early works to transport bulk earth to the site from the M1 is already a clear indication we are not talking about a plan anymore but an actual project,” he said.

“It will be a destination for every day of the week because you will be able to come down and meet friends for coffee overlooking Mudgeeraba Creek or for events.

• Off-leash dog area.

• Kiosk and cafe capable of supporting major events.

• Village green, which can cater for 7000 spectators during major events.

• Yoga lawns, sports fields.

• Giant adventure playgrounds.

• A series of interactive nature-inspired activities for children.

The parklands will rival the State Government’s recently unveiled Spit masterplan vision for a coastal version of New York’s famed Central Park.

A range of infrastructure will be created around the parklands to improve its accessibility, including a footpath connecting it with Cheltenham Drive.

The Bulletin last year first revealed the project was on the cards.
