Construction of the new lakefront carpark off Lake Road began today (Tuesday 15 February 2022). This is part of the Lakefront Redevelopment project.
This carpark will include 79 parking spaces, with four accessible parking spaces.
Construction will begin behind the new lakefront toilet block, and the grass area is now fenced off while the work is taking place.
The painting of the cultural design on the half basketball court was also due to start this week after weather delays. Further delays have pushed the painting start date to next week (21 February 2022). The court will be closed to the community for two weeks to allow the paint to set.
