Renewal work to temporarily close Queens Park Botanic Gardens sandstone arch entry

Toowoomba Regional Council (TRC) next week will start repairs on the walls adjacent to the sandstone arch at the Lindsay Street entrance to the Queens Park Botanic Gardens.

TRC Parks and Recreation Services portfolio leader Cr Tim McMahon said Council would start the renewal works from Monday, April 19.

Cr McMahon said the project involved removing older sections of the arch’s wing walls and rebuilding the arch wing walls on new footings.

“The work is expected to take four to six weeks, weather permitting,” Cr McMahon said.

“Council anticipates that the work will require temporary footpath closures or restricted access along the Lindsay Street footpath, opposite the Toowoomba Bowls Club.
