Prior to the last election, I committed to upgrading parks in the estate off Bognor Road, as many of the parks in this estate have not been upgraded since they were installed in the mid 90s!

Last year we completed a major upgrade of Monterey Circuit Park and installed a new Dog-Off-Leash area in Robinson Park. The situation is improving, but there is still more work to be done.

As a result, the Lord Mayor and I allocated $107,000 in this years budget towards an upgrade of Coochin Park.

The old playground will be removed and a new modern play system will be installed.

Council will also be making some minor changes to the concrete footpaths, landscaping and drainage in order to improve the park's resistance to flooding.

Construction commences this week and should be finished by the end of March!

Below is the concept design.
