This week I turned the first sod on the $1.8 million commitment I made for the upgrade of the Maclean Riverside Precinct.
This stage of this project will complete McLachlan Park at one end, and the Court House Riverfront Heritage Precinct at the other end.
Other work will include the Foreshore Promenade. Once this is completed the precinct will include a viewing platform, picnic shelter, seating and tables, access ramps, a riverside walk that will link the two ends of the park, terrace seating walls, lighting, shade tree and perennial planting. This is a great investment for Maclean.
