Market Square infrastructure upgrades
Market Square Park has undergone essential infrastructure upgrades including a power upgrade, a new vehicle access point along Roberts Road, turf maintenance and rehabilitation, rotunda maintenance, and an improved lighting design for the rotunda.
Power Upgrades
The power upgrades include four new power bollards and an upgraded switchboard. This upgrade will reduce the use of generators during events, making future events in the park quieter and more sustainable.
Vehicle Crossover
A new vehicle access point has been installed along Roberts Road, east of Axon Street, allowing for better vendor and maintenance access to the park.
Turf Maintenance and Rehabilitation
Lawn amenity has been enhanced through turf rehabilitation works. This included fertiliser applications, weed maintenance, and re-turfing worn areas at Roberts Road entrance and near the playground.
Rotunda Maintenance
The rotunda is a central focal point for the park and is widely used for music performances and community activities. It is the park’s most recognisable feature and a well-loved structure. Maintenance works to the rotunda included:
Replacing missing skirting boards,
Repairing broken bannisters and spire,
Removing stains and rusted gutters, and
Fixing damaged paint.
The tiles of the rotunda floor were also lifting and cracking. To remove any trip hazards, the City has replaced this damaged tiled surface with a level, non-slip concrete floor.
Rotunda Lighting
The City has installed decorative lighting on the rotunda to better illuminate the area at night, as well as activate the space during events and occasions.
