On-site works commencing for sporting facility and accessibility enhancements

In consultation with key user groups and the broader community on a range of enhancements to Jubilee Park, the final Jubilee Park Enhancement Plan was endorsed by Council on 27 July 2020. As part of the endorsed Enhancement Plan works are set to commence on the following stage one components:

Enhanced sporting facilities
• Construction of new pavilion adjacent to existing site.

Enhanced accessibility
• Improved vehicle and pedestrian access.

As part of the accessibility enhancement works, the entrance to Jubilee Park will be widened to allow for improved vehicle and pedestrian access. These works will incorporate a new pathway that will enable safe access for pedestrians to enter from Gardini Avenue to the sporting facilities.

In undertaking the enhancement works we are proposing to remove 12 trees which have been independently assessed by an arborist and have in most cases been classified as moderate to low retention value. 10 of the trees are located in the entrance area and a further 2 trees near the Pavilion construction site. Council will be undertaking additional offset planting in the immediate areas, including implementing re-vegetation and enhanced protection of significant trees located onsite.

Council is currently arranging access around the construction zones to ensure park users, and people walking their dogs can continue to access the entire oval safely.

Further works will include resealing the enhanced entryway once construction works are complete and the provision of improved lighting for the entrance way and car park areas.
