The Gibbney Reserve upgrade is now complete!

The official opening of the space is scheduled for Wednesday 2 November at 10am.

Positive feedback has been received about the new plantings and trees. Many people have said they are pleased to finally have the new path connecting Rosher Place to the new playground.

Families and residents have already started making the most of the nice weather and the new space.

People are also making the most of the new compacted gravel parking bays on the Queen Street verge. The new exercise station already has ‘regulars’ using the equipment multiple times a week.

The construction phase ran smoothly, and involved only a handful of challenges that were resolved along the way. One such challenge was responding to the needs of a resident who uses a larger than standard wheelchair and who was finding it difficult to enter the park along the new path alignment on Queen Street. The team engaged contractors to install a small nib off the path to widen the opening, while still allowing for the bollard spacing requirements. The resident now has better access to this section of path.
