Member for The Entrance David Mehan has welcomed news that Maidens Brush Reserve at Wyoming is to be upgraded.
Central Coast Council will receive $105,000 in funding support for the upgrade through the NSW Government’s Local Small Commitments Allocation Program.
The program provided $400,000 to each of the 93 state electorates in NSW providing benefits for local community projects.
Mehan pledged prior to the last state election to facilitate an upgrade of the reserve.
The works will see the existing large octagonal swing retained and include: renewal of the play unit with three slides; a climbing wall and shop counter; a rocker; a nest swing; rubber and mulch softfall; a new path linking the carpark; and inclusion of a disabled parking spot.
Mehan has seen the concept designs and has asked Council to consider seating as part of the upgrade.
“I am pleased to be able to deliver on this election commitment for my community,” he said.
“Not only will this enhance the current playspace and make it more inclusive, but it will also provide a safe place for children to enjoy with their families.”
