On 31 January 2018 Council resolved to award the tender to TP Aquatic Constructions to design and construct a $1.7 million water park in Proserpine, adjacent to the Proserpine Swimming Pool.
The winning contractor specialises in water parks and swimming pools and recently completed the new water park at Cannonvale Big 4 Adventure Whitsunday, utilising many local contractors.
The concept design chosen by council includes the latest in water park features with a focus on more interactive water play areas and slides.
It is the first project delivered from the Proserpine Masterplan which was adopted late last year and the design has utilised many lessons learnt from the installation and operation of the Bowen water park to ensure a durable and low maintenance facility.
The Proserpine Water Park was officially opened on Friday 17 August by Mayor Andrew Willcox.
