Lions Park Amenity Building
Project Type: Commercial, Knockdown Rebuild
Project Status: Completed September 2026
Client: Cairns Regional Council
Location: Lions Park, Earlville
Transformation
From a dated block toilet to a modern public amenity
The original Lions Park toilet block was a dated masonry building. MyBuild Commercial demolished it and built a new, purpose built amenity building in its place, with accessible facilities, baby change, a covered entry and new paths connecting it to the rest of the park.

Project Brief
A complete redevelopment of the Lions Park amenity block
Cairns Regional Council engaged MyBuild Commercial to replace the existing facility at Lions Park with a modern, accessible and purpose built amenities building designed to better serve the local community.
MyBuild delivered the project from demolition and site preparation through to full construction, services, internal finishes and landscaping. Existing park infrastructure, including lighting and CCTV, was carefully managed so the park stayed open to the public for the whole build. From start to handover the project took two and a half months.

A fold down baby change table inside the accessible room, so families using the park have a clean, practical place to stop.

Stainless steel pans and basins, full height wall tiling and robust finishes chosen to stand up to daily public use and easy cleaning.
Full services package
New electrical, hydraulic and plumbing services installed from scratch as part of the knockdown rebuild.

Lighting and CCTV were protected and managed throughout, so Lions Park stayed operational for the community during construction.
Paths and landscaping
Upgraded external paths, new signage and landscaping tie the building back into the park around it.
