The Town Common

The Town Common is the central open space of Hyde Village and comprises a number of elements of historic consequence.

• Three Time Capsules were buried in the Common in 1988 to be opened on Australia Day in the years 2013, 2038 and 2088.

• Emily Hyde Place was established in 1983 in memory of the mother of the last family to farm this property. She lived here for over fifty years and passed away in 1963 at the age of 92.

• Rita Collins was the driving force behind the establishment of this Park. She was Deputy Chairman of the Pine Rivers Shire Council, and foundation President of North Pine Country Park Management Committee. Rita Collins Place was named in June 1992 in her honour.
