Project updates

April 2026 update

PAC Park has now reopened to the community following the completion of creek clearing works.

Current works are focused on stabilising creek banks, improving drainage, and upgrading key infrastructure to enhance safety, accessibility, and resilience during future weather events.

While the park is now open for public use, bridge sites will remain securely fenced as work continues, including the removal and replacement of two pedestrian bridges.

June 2026 update

The project continues to progress, with creek clearing and rehabilitation works now complete.

The bridge design has been updated in response to Council's review, with final design work continuing ahead of fabrication. Expenditure is currently tracking at approximately 17% of the overall project budget, in line with the revised project program.

Upcoming works include the removal of cleared spoil from the site, finalisation of the bridge design, and commencement of bridge fabrication in accordance with the revised project schedule.

Further activities will focus on revegetation, including planting trees along the creek banks, and preparing the site for installation of the new bridges.
