LIFE SPRING 2017
COUNCIL BUILDS FOR THE FUTURE Liverpool City Council is getting on with the job of building and maintaining its parks and public spaces which are such great assets for the community. “It’s a massive part of Council’s commitment to the community – and we can enjoy the benefits across the city,” said Liverpool Mayor Wendy Waller. “In August I opened a major upgrade to Miller Park, with new exercise equipment, play and relaxation spaces, which has already been embraced by the community.
“In October we’re opening Bigge Park, which will be an outstanding green space in the heart of the city, as well as the upgraded Macquarie Mall. “With our population continuing to grow, Council will take the lead in providing these valuable outdoor spaces.” Mayor Waller promised Council is determined to do more, with work commencing next year on new sports fields, playgrounds and picnic facilities at Cirillo Reserve, Middleton Grange.
