Construction of the final stage of the Riverside Open Space project will start Friday 7 February. Located next to the rainforest green, it will be transformed into a new public recreation area with new landscaping, shaded area with seating and barbecue facilities, public art and riverside rest and lookout area.

Timings and construction impacts
Works will take place from Monday to Friday from 7am to 5pm. The lawn area and some seating will be closed during the works. The playground will remain open.

Traffic control will be in place to assist with vehicle movements, with all vehicles accessing the site via Russell Street and then travelling along the promenade. The final stage of works are due for completion in early 2021.
