Exciting news from the Dumaresq Dam Reserve! Mayor Sam Coupland and Paul Tolley discuss the recent upgrades, including a new playground, walking paths, and a jetty. The project came in under budget, allowing them to enhance the facilities.
However, Paul raises the need for a continuous loop around the dam for visitors with young children. The mayor acknowledges this and says they’re working on it. They also discuss plans for a side trail connecting the dam to the nearby future rail trail, providing a safer option for cyclists and pedestrians.
The speakers highlight the importance of dedicated walking and cycling paths along the roads, to address safety concerns.
