Site preparation works are underway, kicking off construction of the MidCoast’s first accessible water playground at Tuncurry.
Demolition works on the Tuncurry pool wrapped up last week, paving the way for work to begin on the new water playground.
Work on the splash pad is currently on track to start in the following weeks, with completion expected early next year.
“While we can’t control the impacts of weather, supply constraints and contractor availability, we’re doing everything possible to have the water playground up and running for the community to enjoy during the warm weather period,” said Executive Manager Community Spaces, Daniel Aldridge.
The fully accessible amenities block with a disability hoist and an all-age change table is still in the design phase. We expect to tender for a construction contractor by the end of August, with completion expected around the end of the year.
“We appreciate the community has worked hard over the previous few years by engaging with us to help shape the all-inclusive design. We’re all really looking forward to opening this playground for all to enjoy,” added Mr Aldridge.
