Seaforth Esplanade Transformation On Track

By Amanda Wright

Construction at Seaforth Esplanade is progressing smoothly, with an anticipated opening in September, weather permitting. The 5.77-hectare reserve is being transformed into a vibrant recreational asset to cater to the needs of residents and visitors.

Sharing project update photos, Mackay Regional Council reported that progress includes the completion of shade structures, installation of new barbecues and furniture, and the shaping of the waterplay area. Amenities construction is well underway, with only the interior fit-out and decorative screen fitting remaining. The senior playground equipment is in place, while the junior playground is awaiting equipment installation before softfall is installed. Landscaping is currently underway, further enhancing the natural beauty of the area.

The Seaforth Esplanade project is proudly funded by the Queensland Government's Works for Queensland Program in collaboration with Mackay Regional Council. The reserve, known for its ocean views and open spaces, is a beloved destination for residents, campers, and weekend market visitors.

This transformation aims to create a vibrant recreational space that caters to the diverse needs of the community. The project's progress indicates a successful endeavour that will provide residents and visitors with a refreshed and enjoyable environment.
