Project description

Works will include:

• Pavement construction and sealing
• Drainage improvement
• Minor footpath works
• Bollard installation
• Kerb and channel
• Line marking
• Signage
• Landscaping

The upgraded carpark will provide the community with access to at least 38 car spaces, including two accessible spaces, with one located within the carpark and the other directly outside the Scout Hall building and adjacent to the new public toilets.

Centrally located within the reserve, the carpark upgrades aim to increase inclusion and participation of people with disability by enhancing access and reducing barriers.

Council has considered the uses for the carpark and made allowances in the concept design, which includes removable bollards, extended paths, no traffic islands in the carpark for accessibility and an access apron to the adjacent grassed area for markets, emergency services and maintenance crews.

Funding

Funded by Cardinia Shire Council
