Adjoining parks at Morayfield to adopt new name

Published 28 January 2026

• City of Moreton Bay will formally change the names of two adjoining parks at Morayfield to one single name - Nairn Park
• The change aims to eliminate confusion and make it easier for visitors to find the park
• It formalises a name already widely used by the community and is a direct reference to the main road at which the parkland is located – Nairn Road

City of Moreton Bay will formally change the names of two adjoining parks at Morayfield to one single name - Nairn Park - in a bid to eliminate confusion.

The parks, often called Nairn Road Park and Adelong Court Park, will instead be called Nairn Park.

Mayor Peter Flannery said the change would formalise a name already widely used by the community and resolve ongoing confusion.

“Although separated by a road reserve, the two parks function as a single open space. Having one name better reflects how locals and visitors use the park, and what they typically call it,” he said.

“Bringing multiple parcels of land together under a single park name is a common practice across the City of Moreton Bay. In this instance, it simply makes sense to adopt one name and eliminate confusion.”

Councillor Tony Latter (Division 12), who initiated the move on behalf of residents, said the Nairn Park name was a direct reference to Nairn Road – the location of both parks. 

“Nairn Road was officially named in 1961, so it’s logical that this area of parkland adopts one name which best reflects its location,” he said.

“Nairn Park is a fantastic place to kick a ball, enjoy the playground and a barbecue, or relax under the tall trees. We want to ensure everyone can find it and proudly call it by the same name.”

The change follows community consultation from 12 November to 9 December 2025.

Councillors approved the name Nairn Park at Council’s general meeting on January 28.
