Have Your Say: Proposed Renaming Section of Prince Henry Drive Park
Council has received a request to rename a small section of bushland within Prince Henry Drive Park to Dr John Swarbrick Park.
Dr Swarbrick was a long-term resident of Prince Henry Heights and an Associate Professor at the University of Gatton, specialising in weed management. He was a passionate advocate for environmental restoration, particularly through the control and elimination of invasive weed species. Over the past 40 years, Dr Swarbrick made a lasting impact on the restoration of Toowoomba's bushland, beginning with this very area along Prince Henry Drive.
In recognition of his contributions, it has been proposed that a section of Prince Henry Drive Park be named Dr John Swarbrick Park.
The map below identifies the portion of bushland within the park that is subject to the renaming proposal.
