Pretty plans for practical park in Manning
Transforming a drainage sump into a more attractive and practical community space is the focus of a new project at the corner of Godwin and Goss Avenues in Manning.
The City plans to revegetate and upgrade stormwater sumps to improve water quality, wildlife habitat and provide a pleasant, natural setting for the community to enjoy.
The project is part of the City’s Urban Forest Strategy and Water Management Plan and will include:
- A biofiltration system to help remove pollutants and excess nutrients from stormwater
- Increasing the existing stormwater filtration area
- Selectively clearing mid-storey shrubs and under-prune trees to improve sight lines
- Revegetating the area with native plant species
- A bird watering station
- A rest area with interpretive signage and habitat features such as an insect hotel, bird nesting boxes and untreated timber logs
- Informal access paths connecting the existing north and south paths
- Nature play zone
- Seating, with a wheelchair parking pad
- Bicycle parking, bins and a drinking fountain.
Construction is expected to start in early 2023, with completion planned for mid-2023. To find out more, visit our Environmental Projects page.
