For over a century, there has always been a Scudamore residing in Burpengary East. To recognise their role in helping shape the suburb, a proposal is out to rename Briston Avenue Park as Scudamore Park, in their honour.
The park is aptly situated on the land they farmed for more than 40 years, a testament to their enduring legacy.

Brian and Isabella Scudamore were active members of the Deception Bay Progress Association, with Brian holding the position of Vice President for a number of years.
Brian’s significant contribution to the founding of the Deception Bay Auxiliary Fire Station exemplifies their unwavering commitment to the welfare of the community.
This proposed park naming initiative underscores the profound appreciation the community holds for the Scudamore family. It stands as a symbol of the community’s gratitude for their selfless contributions throughout the years.
Moreton Bay City Council considers it a small yet meaningful gesture to acknowledge the family’s lasting impact. After all, the Scudamore family has been in Burpengary since 1917, actively engaging with the community.
As discussions progress, the potential Scudamore Park will serve as a lasting reminder of the family’s remarkable legacy, cherished by the community for generations to come.
