Council advises that stage 1 of the redevelopment of the Jeparit Swimming Hole / Caravan Park precinct is nearing completion. As part of the final stages of the redevelopment, Council invites responses from the community regarding the following items.
Closure of George Street, Jeparit.
Council proposes to permanently close George Street to through traffic from the eastern boundary of the Jeparit Caravan Park to the western boundary of the Jeparit Tennis Courts effective 18 December 2023.
George Street, Jeparit has been temporarily closed to through traffic since 27 February 2023 whilst redevelopment works have been undertaken and will remain closed until the proposed permanent closure.
Once closed, the road will be accessible for emergency, maintenance and construction vehicles as required. All-abilities parking and general car parking will be available adjacent to the western boundary of the Jeparit Tennis Club with access via Peterson Avenue.
Playground / fitness stations.
The re-instatement of the outdoor fitness equipment and the construction of a small new children’s playground is planned to be undertaken as part of the redevelopment. Council is interested to hear of the types of equipment to be included and the location of the facility.
Landscaping.
Planting of appropriate trees and shrubs will be undertaken, and Council is interested to hear from the community about the species and locations of plantings.
Swimming Pontoon.
A future stage (subject to funding) will see the installation of a new swimming pontoon. Council is interested to hear of the preferred location and access options of the pontoon.
