ANOTHER asset designed to improve the visitor experience has been completed in Bulahdelah with the construction of a new amenities block at Lions Park Bulahdelah.

Bulahdelah Lions Club President Judy Dixon said the idea for the amenities block came about as there were many people staying in Lions Park and had to come across the bridge for toilet access.

“We received many requests from people that used the park so we put in for a grant which was successful and we had Council construct the facilities,” said Mrs Dixon.

Federal Member for Lyne Dr David Gillespie congratulated MidCoast Council on the completed construction of a new amenities block for Bulahdelah’s Lions Park, made possible through $300,000 from the Federal Government’s Local Roads and Community Infrastructure program.

“I’ve been working with Council to address local community priorities through the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure program and I’m delighted that, through the assistance I was able to secure in the previous government, we have been able to improve these facilities here in Bulahdelah,” Dr Gillespie said.

“Investing in local community infrastructure such as this, will ensure our community has access to modern, safe, and inclusive amenities.”

Dr Gillespie said the program had now become a critical program for regional councils in local infrastructure delivery.

“I am pleased that the government is going to retain the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure program as this program will go some way towards getting more community and road projects on the agenda,” said Dr Gillespie.

Many other improvements have been completed including new pathways and barbeque facilities.

It is expected that Lions Park will reopen to the traveling public in the near future.
