Regular access into one of Bacchus Marsh\u2019s most popular public parks will be closed this month, as works begin to upgrade the car park.<\/p>\n

The $360,000 Peppertree Park upgrade will establish a more accessible footpath (containing a new concrete crossover) and a car park, with some removal of existing vegetation from the middle of the existing car park.<\/p>\n

The vegetation will be replaced with central tree planting, while parts of the existing garden bed around the car park (containing overgrown shrubs) will be removed and\/or uplifted.<\/p>\n

The existing drystone wall separating the park from the carpark will remain in place.<\/p>\n

Several accessible car parks will be marked out in front of the Bacchus Marsh Outdoor Pool, complemented by additional parking spaces throughout.<\/p>\n

These works are part of Stage 1, which has been funded through the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program.<\/p>\n

The upgrade also includes constructing a more accessible footpath leading from the car park to the river path (including tree plantings and seating), as well as a refurbishment of the amphitheatre.<\/p>\n

The car park works are expected to take four weeks, meaning this entrance into the park will be closed throughout May.<\/p>\n

Alternate access into the park will need to be via Meikle Street, walking across the bridge, and entering the park alongside the outdoor pool. The path then connects with the regular footpath into the park.<\/p>\n

With the popular Peppertree parkrun uses the space on a regular basis, volunteers and participants can instead park on Meikle Street and access the park as above until the upgrade is complete.<\/p>\n

Amphitheatre refurbishment works are expected to begin once the car park\/entry works are complete.<\/p>\n
