In response to requests received from local residents, I allocated $213,582 from the 2018-2019 Doboy Ward's Footpath & Parks Trust Fund towards missing link footpath upgrades in Hemmant and Wakerley:

• Pinnibar Street, Hemmant - $106,900

• Watervale Parade, Wakerley - $57,411

• Tilley Road, Wakerley - $49,271

These projects would see construction of a 1.2m wide concrete footpath:

• along the southern side of Pinnibar Street, Hemmant between Hemmant-Tingalpa Road and Oberon Esplanade

• along odd numbered of Watervale Parade, Wakerley from #29 Watervale Pde to #59 Watervale Pde

• along the odd numbered side of Tilley Road, Wakerley from #199 Tilley Rd to #163 Tilley Rd

Completion of these projects is one step towards improving the safety of all pedestrians utilising these footpaths.

These projects have since been completed from the 2018/19 Doboy Ward Footpath & Parks Trust Fund.

Thank you to all those residents that provided their feedback and for having a say in the future of our local community.
