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

Progress update

Works are now underway on the carpark, with upgrades expected to be completed by the end of July 2024, conditions permitting. 

We are currently collaborating with the contractor to ensure the delivery of a high-quality, long-lasting carpark for our community. At this stage, there are several key tasks that remain to be completed:

Outstanding works

• Carpark pavement work including crush rock base, prime seal and asphalt work.
• Line marking
• Signage installation
• Handrail installation
• Drinking water fountain installation

Disruptions 

• Traffic management will be in place within the reserve. 
• The carpark will be temporarily closed for the duration of the works. Additional parking can be found at the front of the reserve. 
• Despite temporary fencing being installed around the carpark site, access to the dog off-leash area will remain open and accessible via the main gate.
