The Shire is seeking community feedback on the draft designs for two key public open spaces—32 Bannister Road and Central Park—as part of the next phase of the Boddington Town Centre Revitalisation Project.
This project aims to create vibrant, welcoming spaces that support small businesses and enhance connections within the town.
Site 1: 32 Bannister Road
This site will serve as a key link between the town centre and the river foreshore. Draft features include:
- Flexible retail / display space overlooking the plaza.
- Removal of the Exordium façade, with a new awning structure and seating addressing Bannister Road.
- Options for food truck parking along Peppercorn Lane.
- Tree and shrub planting for seasonal colour.
- Festoon lighting over the area, with both fixed and flexible furniture.
- Undulating seat height walls and variable turf levels for informal seating.
- Green open space adjacent to the adjoining vacant lot.
- Shade structures for comfort and visual appeal.
Site 2: Central Park
This public park will be enhanced to increase usability and comfort. Proposed upgrades include:
- New shrub planting and boundary fencing for better shade and definition.
- Upgraded shelters and shaded seating overlooking open grass.
- A reconfigured playground area with additional equipment.
- Accessible drinking fountain and bird waterer installation.
- Path realignment to enhance flow and lighting use.
- Retention of key features like the wishing well and ‘Miners’ artwork.
