Backstory

Queens Park is one of Canning’s most diverse neighbourhoods with 60% of residents born overseas.

The neighbourhood is rich in community infrastructure, public open space and cultural assets. During this project we have encouraged and supported community groups to improve and activate the local area.

The objective of the Queens Park Revitalisation Plan was to revitalise the Queens Park neighbourhood in partnership with community over the short term and beyond. The City, in collaboration with community, intends to imbue the neighbourhood with new life and vitality, harnessing local assets,and responding to identified community need.

Over the past three years, our engagement with the Queens Park community has sparked a remarkable transformation. Through dedicated efforts and collaboration, we've embarked on a journey to revitalise our neighbourhood, breathing new life into every corner and fostering a sense of belonging for all residents. At the heart of this initiative lies our unwavering commitment to listening to the voices of our community members, valuing their input, and translating their feedback into tangible actions.

Our approach has been multifaceted, encompassing various programs and events designed to enrich the fabric of Queens Park. From vibrant cultural celebrations to educational workshops and recreational activities, we've strived to offer something for everyone, catering to the diverse interests and needs of our community.
