Stan Camm Park reopens with a fresh new look 

Published on 11 June 2025

Stan Camm Park in Midge Point has officially reopened following the completion of significant upgrade works.

Mayor Greg Williamson said the revitalised park was a great example of council’s commitment to improving liveability across the region.

“Creating high-quality public spaces like this is all part of council’s broader vision to enhance liveability for our residents,” Mayor Williamson said.

“Stan Camm Park has always been a much-loved space and these upgrades make it more accessible, functional and welcoming for everyone in the community,” he said.

“Whether you’re enjoying a barbecue, playing sport or simply relaxing outdoors, this park now offers a space where people of all ages can connect and enjoy a healthier, more active lifestyle.”

The revitalised park now features:

• A half basketball court and hitting wall.
• A new picnic shelter with additional barbecue and picnic settings.
• A modern amenities block, including a unisex disability cubicle and two ambulant cubicles, replacing the old Windyloo toilet.
• Paths connecting all facilities.
• A formalised car park with a DDA-compliant parking bay and refurbished bus shelter.
• Upgraded fencing with a modern post-and-rail design.

The existing picnic shelter and electric barbecue have been retained as part of the improved layout. However, the old woodfire barbecues have been removed to meet modern safety and environmental standards.

Member for Whitsunday Amanda Camm said the project was proudly funded through the Crisafulli Government’s Works for Queensland Program, delivered in partnership with Mackay Regional Council.

“This new-look park is a fantastic asset for the local community, and I’m proud the Queensland Government could support council in delivering it,” Ms Camm said.

“Whether it’s participating in a friendly game of basketball, enjoying a picnic or just spending time outside, Stan Camm Park now has something for everyone.”
