Parts of Hilltop Park will be temporarily closed from Friday 24th September 2021.

Hilltop Park will be temporarily closed from Friday 24th September 2021, so that comprehensive works can be carried out to improve the quality of play equipment, seating and fitness equipment that will be complementary to the existing space.
We plan to commence works in stages, so the playground can remain open during school holidays with minimal impact on the overall use of Hilltop Park for our residents.

Time frame:

The works are scheduled to commence Friday 24th September 2021 with some site establishment works occurring early this week. We anticipate works will take approximately 4 months to complete, over 3 stages, to allow parts of the park to continue to be used. However, should there be a weather delay, it may take longer.

General upcoming works:
In addition, we're excited to announce that we will be commencing works to update the street trees in our community. We have received a number of requests to upgrade the street trees in the last few months, so the time has come to commence this process. We will be in touch with next steps and timings.
