Buildings and Property Pine Lakes Building In the heart of Pine Lakes, AGH Cox Reserve, Pine Lakes House, a former caretaker’s cottage built in approximately 1895, is scheduled for renewal works. This will include stormwater management, internal floor rejuvenation, carpentry, electrical and mechanical works. These works will enable the facility to once again be utilised by the community. Drainage and Waterways Watercourse Erosion Control Program Watercourse erosion control works have commenced along a section of Cobbler Creek between Kings Road and Port Wakefield Road. These works include ‘living bags’ which are designed to biodegrade over time, allowing for native aquatic plants to be supported while they grow strong enough to naturally maintain the watercourse and minimise future erosion. Parks and Streetscape Dog Friendly Park Upgrade Program A new program, ‘Dog Friendly Park Upgrades’, is scheduled to commence in 2013/14. The dog friendly parks were initially created within Salisbury as part of the dog attack reduction program which required dogs to be on a lead within Council reserves and parks. Several of the dog friendly parks are highly utilised and in need of an upgrade. Four sites currently identified for upgrade of lighting, shelter, ground cover and equipment include: Jenkins Reserve; Golding Oval; Mawson Lakes; and Paddocks Reserve. Jenkins Reserve Golding Oval Mawson Lakes Paddocks Reserve Transportation Kerb Ramp Construction/Upgrade Program The City of Salisbury has approximately 9,700 existing kerb ramps and this program is designed to ensure compliance with current Disability Access standards and provide continuous pathways of travel.
