Q & A
1. Why was the drinking fountain removed in Lions Park?
The drinking fountain has been temporarily removed by the Contractor and will be reinstalled at the completion of works.
2. Will the large tree with pine needles overhanging the shops be removed?
The tree will be removed as it is inconsistent with other tree species in the street.
3. Will the raised pedestrian platform cause issues with large agriculture machinery hitting the overhanging power lines?
The alignment of the crossing is far enough away from the overhead power lines and won’t add to the existing issue.
4. What will happen to the Men’s Shed tables under the rotunda?
The picnic tables built by the Men’s Shed will stay, and be installed on the new concrete pavement at the same location.
5. Why have some of the concrete footpaths been ripped up that were constructed in the last several years?
Some concrete footpaths had to be reconstructed to match the new pavement to provide a consistent theme through Kelly Park.
6. Will the Christmas tree in Lions Park remain?
The Christmas tree will remain and a similar tree will be planted in the opposite corner to match it. Council will alter the location of the proposed footpath so the tree is within the garden bed and well protected.
7. Will there be new parking created to replace the parks lost to the pedestrian crossing?
Council’s long-term plan is to move the bus stop to McKay Street, once the Community Centre is finished. Extra parking will then be provided at the current bus stop.
