Fence and Lighting at McKee Street Reserve
McKee Street Reserve was upgraded between February and September 2024. The works added a fence along Wattle Lane, with plants along the fence line, as well as enhanced lighting. Smaller trees were removed so that the existing mature trees can thrive. The design came from a concept plan that council developed from community feedback in 2022, and the refined design was approved in February 2023.
