Beaconsfield Banner Spring 2019 Ranges Ward Councillors’ Report

Cr Jeff Springfield, Cr Leticia Wilmot and Cr Brett Owen

Princes Highway intersection upgrades

Council has obtained federal government funding towards upgrading eight intersections along Princes Highway, including Glismann Road and O’ Neil Road. This funding will supplement Council funds to ensure the delivery of these intersection upgrades over the coming years. Council is engaging with consultants to progress the functional design of these intersections and then detailed designs. Once detailed designs are complete, council will then be at a stage to tender the works for construction.

Spring Reserves Roadshow

Cardinia Shire’s reserves will come to life this spring with a range of fun free activities and events for the whole community as part of our Spring Reserve Roadshow from 3 September until 25 November. Check out the full program of free events around the shire at:

Playground Renewal – Panorama Estate

Council is working with the community on plans for a new play space on Tantallon Boulevard/Hammerwood Green, Beaconsfield. The basic and insufficient existing playground will be removed and a new play space will be installed most likely adjacent to the basketball court. Council has budgeted $65,000 for the project.

Tantallon Boulevarde – Hammerwood Reserve current playground

Community consultation has commenced with 4-year-old kindergarten students from the Beaconsfield Children’s Hub. The children have shared their ideas on what they would enjoy seeing at the playground. Council will return to the centre shortly to further develop these ideas.

Council is interested in hearing your thoughts about the types of play equipment you would like incorporated in this upgraded play space. Please have your say on the design of the new playground via an online survey on Council’s website. For more information contact council or visit www.cardinia.vic.gov.au/haveyoursay

Letters will also be sent out to nearby homes to encourage residents to take part in designing this fantastic play space.

Beaconsfield’s other older playgrounds at Kath Roberts Reserve and Jim Parkes Reserve will also be upgraded in future council budgets.

Community Capital Works Grants

The Cardinia Shire Community Capital Works Grants program enables local community groups to upgrade community and recreation facilities to meet the varied needs of our community.

Recently Cardinia Shire Council has awarded over $330,000 in funding under the Community Capital Works Grants 2019–20 to 32 successful applicants.
