The recent wet weather may have delayed the Forest Park playground installation however, it was an exciting development last week for locals to notice that parts of the installation has now been lifted on site.
Landscaping is now in progress above the recently completed retaining walls, with some planting completed and more to be planted in due course.
Installation of public seating will soon be carried out, along with the addition of balustrade handrails where required.
Park shelters are under construction and the new toilet block, which is being constructed offsite, is expected to be delivered and installed in the coming weeks, weather permitting.
Kerb and channel to the court bowl area is underway and will allow for footpath connections to follow in the coming weeks.
Although some delays are evident with the wet weather, the East Gippsland Shire Council website is still indicating to complete this stage this month.
