Railway Park upgrade works tender due before Christmas

Published on 13 November 2018

Plans to revitalise Railway Park in Byron Bay are on track with Council commencing a five week tender process for construction works this week.  All tenders are due by 14 December 2018.

“We are pleased to be inviting the market to tender for the Railway Park upgrade before Christmas so that construction on this important project can begin in the first quarter of 2019,” Council’s Director Infrastructure Services Phil Holloway said.

The upgrade of the park will include demolition and relocation works, earthworks, soft and hard landscaping, park furniture, bespoke nature-based play equipment and lighting.

“The park’s connection to the centre of town, the Railway Station, the bus stop on Jonson Street, the Visitor Centre and the Community Centre means that the park is a prominent space within the town centre for visitors and also a valued public space for the local community.

“This is a major project that will bring the area to life so that it can become a space the community is proud of and an attraction in its own right,” Mr Holloway said.

Railway Park also forms part of the broader railway precinct project which includes opening the currently unused rail corridor and surrounding area to become open green community space, as well as car park upgrades, road upgrades and the addition of a transport interchange.
