New parks for the community

MEDIA RELEASE 30 October 2020

New parks for the community

The construction of new parks within the Marsden Heights subdivision area in Kelso will commence soon, with final arrangements being made with contractors that will be involved in the project.

Three reserves located within Mendel, Coates and Keane Drives will undergo embellishment works to transform the open space sites to usable parklands for residents.

The project will see the installation of inclusive playground equipment, fitness stations, a multipurpose active sports court, picnic shelters, seating, a footpath network, landscaping and tree planting.

Mayor Bobby Bourke said the works were possible thanks in part to the Federal Government’s Drought Communities Program.

“The project will be funded with $150,000 from Council and a grant of $150,000 from the Federal Government,” he said.

“The project will provide our community with more wonderful spaces to get together, play, relax and spend time outdoors.”

On site works are expected commence within the coming months.
