City seeking feedback on Olives Reserve upgrades

The City is seeking feedback on concepts for the upgrade to the southern section of Olives Reserve in Como.

A draft concept plan has been developed to create a more user friendly park.

Features of the plan include:

• Improved access with a new path connecting to existing footpaths
• Irrigation system upgrades, hydro zoned areas and new garden beds
• Planting of low height, waterwise native species throughout the park, and along the boundary with the freeway for screening and to minimise noise
• Improved grassed area
• Planting of trees to improve shade while maintaining river vistas
• Facilitation of dog exercise with low turf mounds and dog agility equipment
• Installation of low, partial barrier fencing for safety along the car park entry drive
• Seating
• Drink fountain with dog bowls
• Shaded areas for sitting, relaxing and enjoying the riverside amenity of the park.

To share your ideas, visit yoursay.southperth.wa.gov.au and complete the feedback form

Feedback closes 5pm Monday 4 September 2017.

Alternatively, attend a drop-in feedback and information session at Olives Reserve (southern end) on Tuesday 22 August from 4-5.30pm.
