Budd Park, Murwillumbuh NSW

Project overview

Tweed Shire Council was prompted to take action after repeated flood events in 2017 and 2022 caused significant damage to the World Heritage Rainforest Centre in Murwillumbah. The decision was made to remove the flood-prone building, improve community safety, and future-proof the area against further damage.

This opened the door to a major revitalisation of Budd Park. The project goal was to transform a flood-affected site into a vibrant, accessible riverside destination –enhancing public space, encouraging social connection, and improving access to quality outdoor facilities.

GX Outdoors' contribution

It was a privilege to contribute to the Budd Park upgrade by supplying outdoor products built to thrive in tough conditions and stand up to daily public use. Our products were selected for their proven durability and weather resistance – especially important in a location with a history of flooding. At GX Outdoors, our furniture is made to withstand tough conditions, helping to future-proof the space and reduce ongoing maintenance.

We supplied Red Gum Shelters with laser-cut design providing shaded areas and protection, and Integra EX Table Settings to encourage gathering and connection. Citistyle Park Seats and Platforms that offer places for people to relax and rest. We also delivered Atessa Bin Enclosures for clean, low-maintenance waste management, and Citistyle Bike Hoops to promote active transport.
