Works update

Due to recent wet weather, temporary fencing will be in place along the embankment adjacent to the public parking area on Jeffery Court until further notice. This is necessary to ensure safety and to prevent erosion and sediment run‑off following rainfall.

During periods of rainfall, conditions at the site may change quickly. This may result in temporary restrictions to parking availability while safety and environmental protection measures are in place.

  • November 2025: The new stormwater outlet was completed, which allowed the completion of the final layer works. 

  • Early December 2025: The carpark perimeter kerbing was constructed. 

  • 18 December 2025: Sealing and asphalt were completed. 

  • In early January 2026: Work was delayed due to heavy rains. 

  • 23 January 2026: The new concrete driveway construction was completed. 

Remaining works: 
Wheel stop installation 
Landscaping 
Road marking 
Lighting 
Bench and bubbler installation   

We appreciate the patience and understanding of the community and visitors while we work to deliver this project.
