Parks and paths
Council parks teams have been busy undertaking a spring tidy up of gardens. In the coming week footpaths will be installed in Bungendore along Gibraltar and Malbon streets, as well as planting in the medians and roundabout on Ellendon Street.
The sports fields have had pre-summer renovations, including top dressing and fertilising. At Wright Park, the lower cricket pitch has had concrete poured for the new synthetic pitch to be installed. The shade sails are due to be installed in Queen Elizabeth II Park next week.
Q-One centre
Work has now begun for the extension of the indoor sports centre. The centre is still open for business, and parking will be at the memorial bowls club next door as the centre’s carpark and entrance to Seiffert Oval via Thurralilly Street are part of the construction site. The extension received Federal Government support of $2.25 million.
