Chinchilla Botanic Parklands

The Project

The Chinchilla Botanic Parkland is a $5.9 million project co-funded by the Western Downs Regional Council and the Queensland Government, with Council delivering the project. Spanning 4.2 hectares between Canaga and Wambo Streets, the Parkland boasts state-of-the-art water treatment and irrigation systems with solar panels powering the entire site.

The long-awaited project was first announced in 2016, stemming from a community vision that has origins as far back the 1970’s. Now a signature destination for community events and entertainment across the region, the Chinchilla Botanic Parkland adds to the beauty, heritage and livability of the Western Downs.

The Chinchilla Botanic Parkland is a long-term vision, with total site development taking place over multiple stages in the next five to ten years.
