Project Status: Planned
We’re preparing a detailed design for the upgrade of this rest area on the corner of Yaralla and Brocks lanes in Newtown. Works are expected to start in late 2022 and take 4 months to complete.
Why we’re doing this
We developed a concept plan for the park upgrade based on your feedback from our consultation in late 2020. We then modified the design and in mid-2021 aUpgradesked the community for feedback. We used this feedback to refine the design, which Council approved in November 2021.
What we’re doing
The upgrade includes:
- retaining the mature trees with additional plants
- improving the entry and adding a new kerb ramp for better access
- relocating seats to reduce noise issues and adding a new low brick seating wall
- installing a new painted metal blade fence to improve privacy and park amenity
- improving the turf grass area and adding new shrubs and groundcover plants
- providing more seats and a new water bubbler with a dog bowl.
We’re investigating:
- a new table size chessboard
- a new garbage bin with dog bags dispenser.
