Scottsdale Railway Precinct
This project will commence the redevelopment of the 1.78 hectares of disused open space surrounding the former Scottsdale Railway Station.
The initial stage will largely feature the groundworks and installation of infrastructure including picnic tables, water refill station and bike racks. Native plants will also feature to provide shade, increase biodiversity and improve the amenity of the area. The works will lay the foundations for future developments at the site while creating a usable community space.
Community feedback received late last year has been imperative in informing the concept of the site and will continue to shape its future works and direction. The site will act as the trailhead for the North East Rail Trail and be a key asset for the Scottsdale community.
Works will complement both the Town Link Pathway project and the current works being undertaken to redevelop the Scottsdale Railway Station.
Construction works update: Construction works are now complete with a few minor items, including rubbish bin installation and signage, yet to be finalized over the coming weeks. The space is open and the community is encouraged to head down and check it out!
This project is being funded by the Open Spaces Grant Program and Dorset Council.
