CITY WORKS

Ongoing maintenance

Maintenance will occur around the City as part of an ongoing program. This includes such programs as kerb and gutter reinstatement due to tree damage and footpath reinstatement. For more information please contact Council’s Customer Centre on 8406 8222.

New bridges, Burton & Paralowie

The existing bridge, located in Springbank Boulevard Reserve, in Burton needed to be completely replaced. The base of the new bridge was built using a sustainable, recycled plastic composite, while the decking was built with recycled plastic composite timber. Both of which will extend the lifespan of the bridge improving safety.

The decking on five bridges along the Little Para River, in Paralowie was recently replaced. The works included removing the existing decking and kick boards that were damaged and decaying and replacing them with new Merbau timber slats. While the existing decking was removed, the substructure of the bridges was inspected and any damaged components were replaced as required to ensure the structural integrity of the bridges.

Morella Cultural Kitchen, Parafield Gardens

The Morella Cultural Kitchen is a fantastic addition to the Morella Community Centre. It includes a charcoal BBQ, wood oven and tandoori oven. The outdoor area was also upgraded with seating and a large paved area for outdoor functions and events.

Playground upgrade, Salisbury East

We’ve just completed another playground upgrade. This time we’ve improved one of the playgrounds at Cobbler Creek Recreation Park. New play equipment included a challenge course, a seated glider and some accessible swings. We also added seating and a table, fresh soft fall, drainage and concrete paving from McEvoy Drive to the playground.

New small dog park, Para Hills West

A dog park for small dogs has been constructed adjacent to the existing dog park at The Paddocks. It comes complete with room to play fetch as well as a table with shade and a drinking fountain.
