Discover the natural beauty and community spirit behind Hanlon Park / Bur’uda, an award-winning transformation project in inner-city Brisbane.

Once a concrete drain, Hanlon Park / Bur’uda has been revitalised into a thriving naturalised creek, enhancing biodiversity, climate resilience, and public recreation. On this guided tour, visitors will explore how the project has brought ecological function, flood resilience, and the joy of wildness back to the heart of the city. Learn how community contributions, environmental stewardship, and thoughtful design combined to breathe new life into this essential green space — creating a living, evolving landscape that prospers even through Brisbane’s changing climate.

What you’ll experience:

  • Walk along the transformed creek and discover key features of the naturalisation process.

  • Learn how the park supports flood management and biodiversity in an urban environment.

  • Gain insights into how landscape architecture and community collaboration have shaped this award-winning project.
