Following major improvements to the Western Lawns at Footscray Park, additional drainage works will be completed on the north-western edge of the lawn in the next month.
Our contractor will be installing in-ground pipes to improve drainage and access in that area.
The works will begin on 24 November and be completed within four weeks, in time for major events on the site as part of a packed festive season.
The work includes minor excavation, installation of stormwater pipes and drainage gravel before reshaping the swale and laying turf.
This will help improve one of our premier event spaces in the lead up to a busy summer schedule and reinforces Council’s commitment to providing and maintaining open spaces for our community.
