Completed Capital Improvement Projects - 2024-2025

Renewal works on the pathways in Maddingley Park are now complete, delivering a key priority project from the Maddingley Park Master Plan. The upgraded concrete paths now connect the main gate to the Station Street exit, and from the lawn tennis courts to the children's playground creating a smoother, more accessible experience for park users. You might notice the edges of the new paths are looking a little bare. Grass seed has been laid and will soon grow to blend beautifully with the surrounding parkland.

Works completed: April 2025

The final rehab works on Ingliston Road are now complete. Works included pavement widening and rehabilitation of approximately 2.5kms of road, minor drainage works, sealing works and linemarking. Completion of this section means you can now enjoy a smooth 6.2m wide seal all the way from Ballan to West Maddingley!

 Works completed: March 2025

Completed in early 2025, this project includes soft landscaping (irrigated lawn area and tree planting), footpaths (including a connecting path to the nearby Darley Park pavilion), picnic tables/park benches, drinking fountain and play equipment (sandpit with shade sail, rockers, carousel, swings and climbing equipment).
