The heart of South Jerrabomberra: Town park and community centre officially open

The vision for a thriving, connected community in South Jerrabomberra has taken a significant leap forward with the official opening of the South Jerrabomberra Town Park and community centre. 

The event, held on November 15, marked the completion of a major collaborative project between The Village Building Company and the Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council (QPRC).

Spanning an impressive 2.5 hectares, the new town park is already fulfilling its promise as the region’s leading family recreation spot, boasting an array of high-quality amenities designed for all ages and abilities. 

The centrepiece is the region’s largest free splash pad, and a large all-abilities playground featuring swings, slides and nature play elements. 

The park also offers an outdoor gym, a half basketball court and a village oval alongside public barbecues and picnic shelters.

NSW Minister for regional development, Tara Moriarty, says the opening marked an important milestone for the community.

“This expansive park is set to become a place where children of all ages can explore, splash about in the water play areas, and learn to ride along the fantastic bike tracks,” she says.

“It is exciting to see the town park and community centre become a reality supported through the NSW Government’s Regional Job Precinct Program.

“[It will be] a true asset to our community for generations to come.”

Adjacent to the park, the now operational community centre provides essential infrastructure for local activities and events. Solar powered with on-site battery storage, the flexible space is available for hire through QPRC and includes four versatile function rooms, two fully equipped kitchens and bar area. 

The Village Building Company deputy CEO, Rob Fisher, says the building of innovative facilities is all part of the development’s plan of encouraging thriving communities. 

“The Town Park and Community Centre aren’t just facilities; they’re spaces designed for connection, activity and a genuine sense of belonging,” he says.

The community hub will soon be complemented by the South Jerrabomberra Town Centre, which is set to include a supermarket, cafes with outdoor dining, retail outlets and specialty stores.

Construction is due to commence in early 2026 with an anticipated opening in 2027.
