    Notes:

    Notes from Rockhampton City Council report regarding Roy and Eileen Coker:

    Roy and Eileen Coker were both long-term residents of Rockhampton who resided in the Wandal area. Roy was born in Rockhampton on 5 May 1913 and died on 19 December 2004 aged 91. Eileen was born in Rockhampton on 26 January 1921 and died on 19 June 1999 aged 78. The couple were married in Rockhampton on 17 November 1938 and had five (5) children. Roy served in the 13 Battalion, Volunteer Defence Corps (Qld) during WW2.

    In 1987, Roy and Eileen received National recognition for their community work with them both being awarded the Order of Australia, General Division for service to the community, as part of the Queen?s Birthday Honours List for that year.

    This was followed by State recognition with them both receiving the Premier?s Award. Rockhampton City Council followed suit with the naming of Coker Hall, Coker Park and Coker Playground in their honour.

    Coker Community Hall, Coker Park and the Coker Playground were situated on the southern riverbank between Sir Raymond Huish Drive and the Alexander Rail Bridge.

    Coker Community Hall was demolished around 2007. Coker Park and the Coker Playground were subsequently demolished in late 2013 as part of redevelopment works at the World War II Memorial Pool complex.

    This effectively removed the physical/visible community recognition that had earlier been extended to Roy and Eileen Coker.

    In this instance where community recognition was given to Roy and Eileen Coker with some element of perpetuity attached to a community hall, a park and a playground, all of which were demolished, the opportunities to continue that association have been explored in order to convey that same recognition.

    The creation of The Roy and Eileen Coker Walk in the nominated area, supported by the installation of appropriate interpretive signage, will revive the linkage of Roy and Eileen Coker to that area and restore the public recognition of their service to the community.
