Queens Park trellis replacement

The existing timber trellis in Queens Park, Maryborough, which will be replaced with a new structure.

What’s happening

The existing timber trellis in Queens Park’s Palm Alley is being removed and replaced with a new timber trellis. Native Wisteria will be planted to grow over the new structure, creating a climbing feature along the pathway.

Why

The existing trellis has deteriorated due to age and weathering and has been assessed as structurally unsound. As it sits above a pedestrian pathway, it needs to be replaced to keep park users safe.

When

Work commenced late August 2026 and is expected to be completed by mid-November 2026, weather permitting.

What

The project includes:

  • removing the existing plants and timber trellis
  • building a new timber trellis on concrete footings
  • planting native Wisteria to grow across the new structure.

The concept design on page 3 shows the new linear timber structure extending along the existing Palm Alley pathway.

How much will it cost

The project will cost $80,000 and will be carried out by Council crews.

Community impact

There will be temporary changes for pedestrians around the work area while construction is underway. Council will notify park users about the works and put pedestrian management arrangements in place.

Queens Park is heritage-listed, and Council has obtained a Heritage Exemption Certificate for the project. The work will be carried out in line with heritage requirements to protect the significance of the park.
