Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LinkedinEmail this link
Consultation has concluded and the outcomes have been published. Please read the update below.
Council consulted on the proposed naming of the walkway in Collie Park and Cornubia Forest Park between 26th February and 18th March 2018. During this period, a total of 167 submissions were received on this proposal.
Based on the diversity of opinions received during this consultation period, and Council’s policy for Naming of Parks and Community Facilities, Council has considered all matters on balance and determined not to proceed with the proposed naming at this time. On this basis, the walkway will remain unnamed.
Council would like to sincerely thank all residents who provided submissions as part of this consultation.
Previous consultation phase
Council is proposing to name the walkway through Collie Park and Cornubia Forest Park, Cornubia as “Kristyn O’Donnell Walkway” and is seeking public feedback on the proposal. The pathway is located between Collie Street and Parkview Crescent (near Alpina Street).
Kristyn O’Donnell and her family have lived in Parkview Crescent adjacent to the walkway for 26 years, and her family have recently made the naming request to honour her as she faces the diagnosis of a terminal illness.
Kristyn attended St Matthew's school where she excelled academically and also in netball and basketball. She represented Logan at the National Youth Science forum in Canberra, and represented Australia in world debating twice. Mayor Rod Golledge approached her to conduct the opening speech at the Cornubia sports stadium ribbon cutting event, and was asked to present on behalf of Logan youth at several other public engagements such as the 2000 Olympic torch relay. Post Kristyn’s diagnosis with a degenerative genetic disorder, she completed a double degree, and undertook volunteer work and coaching junior basketball at Cornubia Park. She was a teacher at Kimberley College until 2015 when she was no longer able to work. Kristyn’s story is inspirational and it is understandable that her family have a desire to honour her and her achievements.
