Southern Downs Regional Council says it is set to deliver enhancements to a significant section of the Allora Streetscape over the coming months.
Mayor Tracy Dobie said the council welcomed news last month that the Allora Streetscape was one of seven infrastructure projects to secure ‘Works for Queensland’ funding of $2.93 million from the State Government.
“It is with great excitement that council will soon turn the first sod in delivering the $200,000 project in Allora, which will bring a major component of the Allora Streetscape improvements to fruition,” she said.
P.L. Travers Park, on the corner of Herbert and Drayton streets, will be the focus of this project. Works will include installation of park shelters with picnic tables in a heritage theme, an electric barbecue, relocation of the Mary Poppins monument for greater prominence, installation of a small playground, construction of a footpath through and around the park, gardens and pram ramps from the street level to the footpath level.
Residents wishing to provide feedback on the scope of works for the P.L. Travers Park rejuvenation project need to submit their feedback to the council by 5pm on Friday 7 April.
Further information about how to make a submission is available on the council’s website www.sdrc.qld.gov.au
