It is fantastic to be back in the seat for Springvale North Ward. I am looking forward to another Council term jam-packed with new opportunities and improvements to our reserves, play spaces and facilities.
The Springvale Master Plan identified the need for more casual recreation opportunities and highlighted Springvale Reserve as a great location for a new playground. This was designed, constructed and completed in 2024.
The finished playground includes a fence along the front of the car park ensuring its safety, a path network to aid in movement around the playground and a picnic shelter and furniture to provide people a place to sit and relax.
Last year we also completed the reconstruction of Ross Reserve athletics track. The works took about 12 months with the previous track having been in poor condition and requiring consistent maintenance.
The project included demolition of the existing track, drainage improvements and track and field equipment upgrades. We reworked the natural turf with all the necessary supports to enable athletics competitions and training at the complex.
I encourage everyone to check out the new playground at Springvale Reserve and the athletics track at Ross Reserve as they are fantastic additions to Springvale North Ward.
