Park gets a revamp

Renewal of paths in Maddingley Park is beginning this week.

Works will affect the pathway from the main gate at the corner of Grant and Taverner streets to the Station Street exit, as well as the pathway running from the lawn tennis courts to the children’s playground in the Taverner Street exit.

The works will include replacing the existing spray seal path with concrete matching the existing concrete paths within the park.

“The investments in family oriented spaces like Maddingley Park is making a big difference,“ Moorabool Mayor Cr Paul Tatchell said.

“We have seen in our parks and garden, people are working really hard to try and encapsulate the awesome spirit we have.”

Access to Maddingley Park will not be restricted apart from the sections of pathways under construction.

The works will be undertaken in stages to minimise disruption, however residents will be affected during construction works with minor detours in place.

Works are expected to be complete in six to seven weeks.

Cr Tatchell said that the council is pushing to continue to beautify the area, and bring more people in to visit.

“I think the best way to do that is to make sure that the aesthetics are inviting,“ he said.

“You don’t get two goes at a first impression.”
