Council wishes to advise that the PAC Park footpath between Butler Lane and Park Street will be closed to facilitate restoration works as part of the PAC Park Restoration Project.
Following the Natural Disaster in November 2022, which resulted in widespread flooding and damage across the Shire, Council submitted funding applications for impacted community assets. The PAC Park Restoration Project was successfully approved for funding under the NSW Government’s Community Assets Program, part of the State’s Flood Resilience Program.
The project includes pedestrian bridge replacements, reconstruction of damaged pathways, creek bank stabilisation, and channel improvements to enhance flood resilience and improve long term functionality of the channel.
Works are scheduled to take place from 7:00am on Monday 23 February 2026 to 5:00pm on Friday 1 May 2026, weather permitting.
Western end PAC Park Path
The western end of the park will be closed to safely carry out creek bank stabilisation, replacement of two pedestrian bridges, reconstruction of damaged pathways, and improvements to safety, accessibility, and flood resilience. Temporary construction zones will be secured with 1.8m high fencing, and the pedestrian footpath will be closed during bridge demolition and installation.
Land North of PAC Park Path
The land north of the path at the eastern end of the park off East Street will also be closed during this period for stockpiling of vegetation and soil removed during the works.
Council apologises for the inconvenience this will cause to residents, visitors, and the community, and thanks everyone for their patience while these works are undertaken.
Should you have any queries in relation to these works, please contact Parkes Shire Council’s Project Officer, Mr Duncan Blair, on 02 6861 2333.
