The upcoming Water Park is part of the Charters Towers Regional Council’s goal to increase “livability” for young people, according to Deputy Mayor Graham Lohmann.
“This will really improve the livability of our community from a young person’s point of view,” Mr Lohmann said.
Mr Lohmann said the decision to make the Water Park a free facility was a key component to giving young people ways to fill time in town.
“It will be a free facility for people to attend,” he said.
“Its purpose was always about making Charters Towers a more livable community and part of that is around having free or very low cost facilities for young people in town.
“And it's being adjacent more or less to the skate park, the pumptrack and now this waterpark, and the Defiance Mill Oval, it's a great open space area for young people to fill in their time.”
