A brand new visitor entrance and amenities is on the way for the Rockhampton Botanic Gardens and Zoo.
Works are underway now, and are expected to be wrapped up by the Christmas holidays.
The project will include:
Contemporary Zoo entrance with multipurpose building for both Council and community use.
New public amenities block consisting of amenities accessed from within the zoo and amenities accessible from the Botanic Gardens.
Series of reptile enclosures built into the multipurpose building wall to provide an attraction for visitors to the site and to showcase some of the native and exotic reptiles the Zoo has to offer.
Gathering space and plaza courtyard for pre and post visitation experiences.
New footpaths, digital interactive displays, interpretive signage, wayfinding signage, and drinking fountains.
Hard and soft landscaping.
Significant roof structure to provide shade
The $7.5 million project received $1.5milllion in funding through the Australian Government’s Building Better Regions Fund and will come as a significant addition to last year’s playground redevelopment within the Botanic Gardens, adjacent to the Zoo.
