Council have prepared the final design plan for Thomas Stephens Reserve at Church Point and documents are being prepared for tender. Work is expected to commence in mid 2025.
The modified design now includes the use of permeable paving and permeable tree surrounds, the repositioning of the bike rail, the retention of the existing sandstone planter at the street front, and the deletion of the proposed timber block seating along the seawall.
A key focus area was the retention of the trees adjacent to the seawall. As part of the modified design, every effort will be made to retain the two trees in this area. It is acknowledged that this area will be the most heavily impacted by the construction works, and an arborist site assessment will determine the viability of retention at that time.
