MAJOR PROJECTS SET TO BOOST SALISBURY $2.2m The Paddocks Masterplan
A number of large-scale projects are prioritised for the 2020/21 financial year, with a focus on bolstering Salisbury’s economy to assist it in recovering from the impact of COVID-19. As part of the 2020/21 budget, Council has endorsed a $100 million COVID-19 Infrastructure Recovery Program. The program will bring a number of major projects forward to boost capital expenditure over the next two years, prioritising northern businesses to reinvigorate the local economy. A wrap up of some of the major projects can be found below.
Burton Community Hub $5 million over two years The Burton Community Hub will draw inspiration from the City’s existing hubs at Mawson Lakes, Ingle Farm, Para Hills and, most recently, the Salisbury Community Hub. More than 18,000 questionnaires have been sent to local business and homes within the area so Council will have a better understanding of what the community wants to see in the new hub. The planning and design is due to begin early next year.
