Governor to open parklands
QUEENSLAND Governor Dr Jeannette Young will attend the official opening of Priors Creek Parklands next week.
Acting Mayor Dave Bilney said it was an honour to welcome the Governor to the Tablelands for this special event.
“The opening of Priors Creek Parklands is an important milestone for our community, and we are very pleased to welcome Her Excellency to share this with the Tablelands community,” he said.
“This precinct has been developed to serve as a place for the community to gather, connect and celebrate, and it is fitting that its official opening will be recognised at this level.”
The official opening ceremony will form part of a wider opening weekend program across Friday 10 and Saturday 11 July, featuring live entertainment, markets, food vendors, family activities and community celebration.
Friday’s program will include the civic ribbon cutting and opening ceremony, sunset markets, local performances, SOS: The Australian ABBA Tribute Show and a fireworks display.
Saturday’s program will continue with Fitness in the Parklands, a huge kids creative play zone featuring Marvellous Miss Mary and Zippity Zac, Storytime in the Park, Basketball Skills and Drills, artisan and farmers markets, food trucks, local performances and evening entertainment from The 70s and 80s Spectacular.
