We will create a bigger, better and more pleasant Wimbo Park, extending from Bourke Street to South Dowling Street.
In 2015 and 2016 we asked the community for ideas on what the new park could look like. These ideas helped us develop a concept design endorsed by Council in February 2017. A development application was approved in September 2019 before a revised concept design for the park went to community consultation in early 2020. Following further community consultation, in June 2021 a modification to the development application was approved for the revised design of the park.
The upgrade includes:
We plan to start construction in late October 2022. Work hours will be 7:30am to 5:30pm, Monday to Friday and 7:30am to 3:30pm on Saturday.
Roadworks to Parkham Lane and Parkham Place are expected to take around 4 months, weather permitting.
The project will be constructed in 2 stages to allow for alternate access to the park. The road works to Parkham Lane and Parkham Place will be first and then works to the park will start.
The first stage for the road works will require some temporary changes to the parking and vehicle movements in Parkham Street, Parkham Place, Parkham Lane and Mort Street.
