Community Invited to Help Shape Final Pump Track Design at Anzac Park

Plans for the Anzac Park Pump Track are moving into their next stage, with Burdekin Shire Council inviting residents to review the proposed designs and help shape the final layout before construction begins.

The Pump Track, which was approved last year, is now at the design refinement stage. To mark that step, Council will hold a community drop-in session on Thursday 5 February, from 4:30pm to 5:30pm, at the former junior soccer grounds at Anzac Park on Wickham Street.

The session will be informal, allowing residents to come and go during the hour. Concept plans will be displayed on site, with feedback forms available for those wishing to share ideas or raise concerns. Council staff and project consultants will be present to explain the designs and answer questions about how the track will operate and integrate with the surrounding park space.

The Pump Track will be built within the former junior soccer field, adjacent to the existing skate park, and is intended to cater to a wide range of users. The design accommodates scooters, BMX bikes, skateboards and mountain bikes, with features aimed at both beginners and more experienced riders.

The project is supported by $760,000 from the 2024–27 Works for Queensland Funding Program and forms part of Council’s broader $2.8 million investment in parks and recreational facilities across the shire.

Burdekin Shire Council Mayor Pierina Dalle Cort said the focus is now on ensuring the facility works for the community.

“Families and individuals can come together to relax, have fun, and stay active,” Mayor Dalle Cort said.

“The new Pump Track at Anzac Park will be a fantastic addition to our community’s recreational offerings, providing a safe and exciting environment for people of all ages.”

Feedback collected during the drop-in session will be used to finalise the design ahead of construction, with residents encouraged to attend and contribute to the next phase of the project.
