Doug Jennings Park Improvements
As part of the implementation of The Spit Master Plan we will be delivering landscape improvements in Doug Jennings Park to create more beautiful and relaxed spaces for visitors to enjoy.
THE IMPROVEMENT WORKS INCLUDE:
- Enhancing public spaces along the waterfront to improve views and accessibility

- Improving event functionality eg: vehicle access and reinforced turf
- Landscaping and planting of shade trees and shrubs
- Shaping of trees to enhance and revitalise
IMPACTS
🚧 During construction, access to certain areas of the park will be restricted including the number of car parks is likely to be reduced to enable the improvements to be undertaken
🚧 Some noise will be generated by construction works
🚧 Updates will be posted on the GCWA Facebook page
