I rise to acknowledge a major makeover currently underway at Edward Lloyd Park, at Marian, in my electorate of Capricornia. This important redevelopment is worth $825,000. Marian is a small and proud community located 24 kilometres west of Mackay, in the Pioneer River valley. This is a wonderful part of the of the vast Capricornia region.

This park project was co-funded by the federal government and the Mackay Regional Council. The new-look park will be transformed into a colourful and modern play area and will be a great asset for the Marian community. The facelift will see modern play equipment added to the park, along with a new shade structure, picnic shelters, barbecues, a drinking fountain, new pathways and extra car parks. Some of the new equipment to be added to the park includes a climbing net and a unique rubber play slope for children.

Mackay Regional Council has expressed its appreciation to the federal government for its part in funding the project. I look forward to this facility benefiting the many families and residents in the Marian community for years to come.
