The Liberal Party, under an elected Dutton Government, has announced today, Wednesday April 2, 2025, a significant pledge of $900,000 dedicated to the revitalisation of Seymour Park in Adaminaby. This initiative, rooted in community collaboration, aims to transform the park into a welcoming space for individuals of all ages and abilities.

The proposal for revitalisation was put forward by the Adaminaby Community Action Group (ACAG) and focuses on creating a nature-inspired landscape complemented by recreational amenities. The revamped park intends to become a lasting feature in the heart of the Adaminaby township.
Liberal candidate for Eden-Monaro, Jo van der Plaat, has spoken positively about the plan, emphasising its potential impact on community cohesion. “This commitment will turn the vision of ACAG into a reality and create something truly beautiful for all of Adaminaby to share and enjoy,” Ms van der Plaat stated. She further commented, “I am pleased to be backing this grassroots community initiative to create a space that will provide a place of connection in Adaminaby that will endure for generations to come.”

Ms van der Plaat highlighted the essential role played by local volunteers, saying, “The Liberals’ commitment would not have been possible without the tireless work of the local volunteers who comprise ACAG – all of whom are committed to making Adaminaby an even more beautiful place to live.”
In response to today’s Liberal Party funding announcement on revitalising Seymour Park, Kristy McBain said, “I will have more to say on election commitments in the coming days.”

ACAG has expressed gratitude towards the Liberal Party’s commitment. A spokesperson for the group remarked, “We are of course very thankful and excited, if the coalition are voted in, to see our park be re-developed into a beautiful all ages inclusive heart for our town.”
The ACAG noted previous engagements with Kristy McBain, and are yet to hear back from her office about a funding match. The ACAG spokesperson added, “We received a small grant from Boco Rock Wind Farm last year, which allowed us to begin the conversation with our landscape architect, and this promised funding will go a long way to seeing our dreams realised. Every little bit helps.”
