Improvements to Heritage Park getting underway

Published on 05 September 2024

Council is starting work on a $850,000 upgrade of Heritage Park at Mullumbimby.

The work, which was identified in the Heritage Park Landscape Masterplan, includes a new pathway and boardwalk, installing a new piece of play equipment for older children designed to test their climbing skills and adding more nature and imaginative play features.

Additional seating will also be installed, and the existing shelter will be refurbished.

The section of the park along Mill Street will be closed off and turned into an off-lead dog area.

It is currently an unofficial carpark, but the area will be re-turfed, and the only traffic will be that of dogs and their owners.

A new two-metre-wide pathway and boardwalk will traverse through Heritage Park, linking the entrance at Brunswick Terrace to the playground at Mill Street.

“Heritage Park is an important community asset, and this project is based on feedback from residents about the improvements they wanted to see,” Malcolm Robertson, Manager Open Spaces, said.

The work is expected to take around six months to finish and during this time there will be times when parts of Heritage Park are not available.
