The City of Canning is upgrading Wyong Park as part of the Bentley Parkscapes program. The program aims to provide the surrounding Bentley 360 area with improved public open spaces for the whole community to enjoy. Construction works will commence in late September 2022 and are expected to complete by March 2023.

The Wyong Park upgrade has many exciting features such as a new multi-sports court, a new playground with some nature play elements, new shelter, BBQ, seating and outdoor exercise equipment. Other essential improvements include new pathways, lighting and garden beds with a mixture of local and native plant species.

During the construction period please note the following:

• The oval will remain open to the public for the duration of the works
• some parts of the main carpark will be unavailable
• all works will be carried out on weekdays, Monday to Friday, 7am to 5pm
• construction fencing will be erected around sections of the park and members of the public will not be permitted
• pedestrian and vehicle traffic will need to be redirected from time to time during the construction to ensure safety of the public around the site; and
• measures will be put in place to control dust and noise as much as possible during construction.

The City would like to apologise for any inconvenience these works may cause and looks forward to providing new facilities for the community to enjoy.

The City of Canning has some exciting news to share with you. We’re upgrading Dumond Park as part of the Bentley Parkscapes program, which aims to improve public open spaces in the surrounding Bentley 360 area for everyone to enjoy.

Construction will begin in March 2023 and is expected to wrap up by June 2023. One cool thing about this upgrade is that Dumond Park will be the first park in the City to have a future canopy of 100%! There will be seating areas for visitors to relax and connect with nature, as well as crushed limestone paths and new garden beds with low-growing shrubs and tall trees.

The City is also putting in new infrastructure like a bird watering station, bee hotels, and nesting boxes to turn the park into an Urban Forest for the community.

During construction, please keep in mind that work will only take place on weekdays from 7am to 5pm to minimise disruption. Construction fencing will be put up around some parts of the park for safety, and there may be occasional redirections of pedestrian and vehicle traffic.

The City apologises for any inconvenience and is looking forward to providing new and improved facilities for the community to enjoy.

For any enquiries regarding this project please contact the City’s Landscape Construction Officer, Jason Tindale on 1300 422 664 or email Jason.Tindale@canning.wa.gov.au.
