Another three playground upgrades have been completed in Camden as part of council’s Covid-19 community support package.
Council says it’s investing more than $130 million across three stages to support residents and local businesses.
The McCrae Drive playground upgrade at Camden South has seen the installation of new equipment and park furniture, replacement of softfall rubber and landscaping works.
The second of the three upgrade completions was at Royal George Drive playground at Harrington Park.
The work included new playground equipment and park furniture, shade sail, replacement of soft-fall rubber and landscaping works.
Contemporary fitness equipment as well as park furniture and a bubbler are among new features at Yandel’ora in Mount Annan.
Mayor of Camden, Cr Therese Fedeli, said it was important for council projects to continue as they gave the community a massive boost moving forward.
“Council is committed to assisting the community as we work through these unprecedented times and the completion of these three projects is fantastic for all of our residents,” Cr Fedeli said.
“It’s estimated all three stages of our support package will boost Camden’s economy by up to $221.7 million and generate up to 507 new jobs.
“I am proud to see council working hard in helping the community in a variety of ways in coming out of the pandemic as strong as possible and this is no exception.”
The completion of the three projects follows the installation of a wire rope fencing with two gates at Macquarie Grove Road Reserve, completed in June this year as part of the three stage support package.
