MARY RIVER CONSERVATION

RIVERSIDE PARKS

During 2010, Sunshine Coast Council, in consultation with local groups and individuals, developed plans for Isaac Moore Park and the Kenilworth Mary River Reserve. These are now in process of realisation with both parks being useful amenities for locals and visitors. The most recent addition to the Mary River Reserve is a carved stone seat celebrating the river and its unique species.

Please note: Parking is available at the east end of Charles street, allowing pedestrian access to the River Reserve - there is no vehicular access.

KENILWORTH MARY RIVER RESERVE SEAT PROJECT

The Sunshine Coast Council funded the design of a park seat to celebrate the Mary River. Details of the project can be seen here (PDF file). The design competition was won by Wayne Markwort - see his website at www.waynemarkwortstone.com. A sketch of the design can be seen here.

This seat is located at the northern end of the Park, overlooking the river.

It is hoped that funding can be found for further projects to install more art works in the Park

Download the Isaac More Park Concept Plan from here (PDF file).

Download the Kenilworth River Park Concept Plan from here (PDF file) - note that this was modified to move the parking area out of the park to the end of Charles Street.

HABITAT CONSERVATION

All wildlife on the Mary is threatened by encroaching human activity. Of particular concern are those species whose habitat is restricted to this River. Of these, the Mary River Lungfish and the Mary River Turtle are critically endangered. The Mary River Turtle was identified as late as 1994 and is the only species in its genus, so loosing it would extinguish the whole genus. This makes it a particular concern of conservation bodies, not only in Australia but across the world. Preventing disturbance of nesting sites on the sandy banks of the River, at Kenilworth and elsewhere, is critical to the survival of this species.

ARTS & CULTURAL HUB PROJECT

Click to see a larger (PDF) version of this plan
On Wednesday 17 August 2011, at a Chamber of Commerce Public Forum meeting, Kenilworth Arts Council Inc. presented information about its bid to achieve funding for an "Arts & Cultural Hub" to be built on redundant Queensland Government land. The meeting strongly supported the proposal.

This facility will be a new centre for the performing and creative arts, taking its place as part of the Mary Valley Arts Trail and providing workshop accommodation for a wide range of creative arts, a performance and exhibition space, and a Mary River Interpretation Pavilion intended to be a work of art in itself and to provide information about the history, ecology and geography of the River.

See a PDF version of the presentation here.

You can leave comments or questions about this Project on our GUESTBOOK (use green button above).

Alternatively comments can be emailed to the Kenilworth Arts Council.
