Division 2 Councillor Phil Truscott said the land would allow for more parking during events at the community hall.

“At present people are parking on private land or along the residential street which is causing some issues and this purchase will address that,” explained Cr Truscott.

Storage

“There is a shed on the land which can be used for storage. I look forward to talking with residents about future opportunities for the shed.”

Cr Truscott said Council also had plans to build a playground on the land.

“It will be built in such a way that while the soft fall might be affected in a flood, the equipment and furnishing will not be inundated. 

Equipment

“I’m hoping a survey on the type of play equipment to be included in the park will be conducted soon.
