Cessnock City Council brought together ideas from the community, Mindaribba Local Aboriginal Land Council, Cessnock Business Chamber and Hunter Water in the desire to create an iconic tourism gateway that includes local cultural history. Apex Park is located at the intersection of Wollombi Road, Allandale Road, Maitland Road and Vincent Street where over 20,000 cars pass every day. The feature statement in the form of a Aboriginal storytelling, interpretive art, naturalised waterways and a modern meeting place will signal the entrance to Cessnock and to Hunter Valley Wine Country when travelling north. Apex Park will become and icon with visitors and has the potential to be part of the Town Centre’s branding and story.
Cessnock City Council are currently seeking grant funding to enable the construction of Apex Park Masterplan.
