Council has prepared a concept plan for the improvements and upgrades and is engaging with the community with the objective of making Portico Park safer, more vibrant and liveable.
The Portico Park Upgrades aim to improve safety, accessibility, park activation and community use with a range of facilities including a revamped play space and upgraded modern amenities, while protecting the existing mature trees and heritage elements.
The upgrades will create a more vibrant and safe space for our community and attract residents and visitors to explore the park and its surroundings. The concept design builds on the existing diagonal pathway structure and introduces improved entrances, wider and additional pedestrian connections, a new plaza, upgraded amenities, a relocated and expanded playground, enhanced seating, lighting, signage, public art opportunities and renewed landscaping. Council is preparing to make the park more welcoming and establish a high-quality public space.
