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.
