August 2024 - Project Update

Following closure of the consultation period and preparation of the Community Feedback Report, a design plan has been prepared to illustrate the works for Stage 1.

Stage 1 works are now planned for construction from the end of September 2024 (weather permitting), and includes:

  • Installation of new kerb ramps across Hill Street and Gully Road.
  • Concrete path to connect Gully Road to the playground.
  • Installation of a new concrete path parallel with the car park to replace the broken asphalt.
  • Fencing along concrete path parallel to car park.
  • Removal of the wooden post and rail fencing along the reserve edge in poor condition.
  • Placement of bollards opposite Hill Street, in front of the playground.

A copy of the design can be viewed here.

The design and consultation of Stage 2 works will continue to be undertaken during the 2024/25 financial year across both reserves, incorporating:

  • More seating and garden beds.
  • Additional and renewed irrigation across both reserves.
  • Fitness equipment.
  • Tree planting
  • New fencing adjacent the bus stop on Davenport Terrace, as planned.

The construction of Stage 2 works is anticipated in 2025/26.
