With the opening of the park in Zone 2X to the public, we are working through the impact such a new and exciting space has on the surrounding community.

It’s worth understanding works are not complete with a number of things still to be completed, including the storm water connection into the basin, new public art, internal park signage, street works for redundant cross overs, kerbs, paths and verge mulching.

Dog exercise area

• The dog exercise area is aiming to be open on Friday 31 January. Please keep an eye out on our social media channels for when it is ready.

Parking

• On-street parking in Bishopsgate Street is prohibited, due to the dedicated bicycle lane and cars parking here are liable to be fined.
• Bishopsgate Street is patrolled by Town Parking officers.
• On-street parking for park users is available in Planet Street or the new parking bays on McCartney Crescent.
• New parking signage is being installed around the park to make parking designations and restrictions more clearly marked.   

Noise

• Park users are requested to show consideration for park neighbours and other park users.
• Noise from the use of the basketball backboards has been raised as an issue.
• The Town are taking sound measurements and have engaged an independent sound engineer to assist in their investigation of this issue.
• While the investigations are proceeding the multi-use courts are being closed at 7:30pm and reopened at 7am.

Lights

• The court floodlights will be adjusted so that the light is contained to the park.

Naming the park

• The Town needs to follow the processes of the State Government Geographic Names Committee in giving LPRP Zone 2X a new name – community members will have an opportunity to comment on the compliant names proposed.
