- Fairpark Project Update
The scaffolding is down and the exterior of the new multipurpose facility at Fairpark Reserve is complete. Now work is underway on the facility's interior and southern carpark.
This new building will be home to U3A, Johnson Park Cricket Club, Fairpark Football Club, and the Fairpark Netball Club.
The construction of the building and southern carpark works are expected to be completed by October 2023. The demolition of the existing pavilion, cricket nets, and extension of the northern carpark will take place during October and November 2023.
