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.
Works update: Major site works are now complete and the site is open. Note: Installation of remaining items, including additional signage, will be undertaken before the end of June 2026.
This project is being funded by the Open Spaces Grant Program and Dorset Council.
