The project has been a long time coming, with the March 2021 floods and continuous wet weather meaning the project had to be postponed.

In addition to the improvements, council will also be replacing flood damaged facilities, installing picnic tables, and refurbishing amenities, thanks to a $100,000 grant.
Council also received a grant of $223,610 to restore flying fox habitat post floods,
"The grant will include revegetation and weed control rehabilitating eight hectares of land in the coming years, also helping to restore the endangered low land rainforest," council says on its website.
The work is expected to take eight weeks, weather permitting.
