TRANSFORMING the western end of Norris Bank Reserve in Bundoora into a social hub will soon commence after mid-April.
The City of Whittlesea’s redevelopment of the reserve off McLeans Road will appeal to a younger audience, with the creation of a performance space, social space with wi-fi access, multi-use basketball court and grass embankment in the reserve.
Installation will also be made along the upgraded paths with LED lighting to improve access to the reserve and public transport.
Made possible through the State Government’s Growing Suburbs Fund, the previous stage of the Norris Bank Reserve gained a dedicated off-leash dog area and playground featuring a player tower with slides, water play area and upgraded picnic facilities.
The works for the third stage will start in mid-April and are expected to continue until October.
A temporary fence will be formed around the construction site and signs will direct visitors to other pedestrian pathways.
Meanwhile, the off-leash dog park at Norris Bank Reserve will be closed on April 26 and 27 for upgrade works including expanding the concrete footing around the drinking fountain and earthworks to improve drainage.
