Toowoomba Regional Council contracted Boyds Bay Group to undertake all hardscapes & softscapes of Newtown Park in time for its centenary celebrations.
Given only 6 weeks to Design & Construct the park from start to finish, Boyds Bay Group rose to the challenge and delivered a premium product in time for the centenary celebrations.
‘Scope of Works’ included:
Works centred around an established stand of trees, reflected in the park design – large areas of permeable paving and sandstone edging facilitate water and air flow through the root systems of the trees.
A feature seating wall became the focal point of the Park. Of a spiral design with a splayed back rest, the wall was in-filled with a glass mosaic. A concrete star was laid at the base of each bollard light to represent the southern cross.
