Lions Norrie Job Park upgrade
The Lions Norrie Job Park upgrade is well underway, and you’ll be able to see plenty of work taking place to pipe, fill and level the drain. This will give us much open space in the park to kick a ball or have a picnic. There will also be upgrades to the exercise equipment, barbecue shelters and pathways. And this financial year, $150,000 has been allocated to design a new pump track. Thank you for your patience as construction progresses.
Coming up this financial year
The 2024-25 budget was approved by Council on June 20, which means there is now certainty of funding around some upcoming projects.
The junction at Ridgeview Drive and Havana Road West will be upgraded, with $450,000 to build a pedestrian crossing on all four legs of the junction, which will make it a lot safer for the students from the local schools who regularly use the crossing. There will also be new streetlights installed on Havana Road West, with $100,000 allocated to help make it safer for joggers and walkers up early in the morning or out late at night.
The Lowes Lookout pathway stage one has been allocated an additional $60,000 to build the section from Scrub Road through the road reserve to the first residential roadway.
The shower and part of the playground equipment will be upgraded at Tickle Park.
Two other projects have received a combined $550,000 to be considered together, which are a missing link pathway project to connect the beach precincts to our park, library and civic centre, and an active transport project.
