Next step in Community Parkland Project

The Princess Wallington Community Parkland project is moving ahead with the City recently advertising a tender for construction works.

On completion, the exciting project at Princess Wallington Reserve in Balga will deliver a new skate facility, multi-courts sports area, BMX track, regional playground and more.

Along with providing so many great community facilities, the project offers lots of opportunities for new public art. To make the most of the reserve, the City will enlist a Project Art Consultant to work with artists who are successful with proposals to deliver permanent and temporary artworks. The works will focus on the themes of Country (Nyoongar culture), birthplace (multiculturalism and generational) and the Balga neighbourhood.

The tender period closes on Wednesday 14 August and construction is scheduled to start later this year. Lotterywest has contributed $2.34 million to the $6.2 million project.
