Prinsep Street Streetscape
City of Bunbury is continuing work to beautify its CBD streets as part of the City Centre Action Plan. A new-look Prinsep Street has been supported by local businesses and retailers in the area with upgrades set to include improved alfresco areas and seating, lighting, a designated pedestrian crossing and new street trees and landscaping.
Frank Buswell Foreshore
City of Bunbury will be redeveloping the popular Frank Buswell Foreshore. This significant project will include upgrading the seawall, drainage works, upgrading the footpath to a shared path and revitilisation of the open space and playground.
Forrest Park Pavilion
Forrest Park Pavilion to be replaced with modern, unisex changing facilities and an upgraded power supply. The current facility is in poor repair and reaching the end of life, no longer providing for modern sports.
Bunbury Ocean Pool
City of Bunbury is continuing community and stakeholder engagement regarding an ocean pool at Wyalup Rocky Point. It follows Bunbury City Council in June endorsing a business case and concept plan for the widely discussed project. An ocean pool is not a new concept for Bunbury with many new ideas floating around in recent years, and a notable history of leisure and recreation at the proposed location.
Withers Renewal Program
The Withers and wider Bunbury community have, for many years, expressed a strong desire for improved housing, facilities and investment in the suburb.
Hands Oval Redevelopment
Delivering a sustainable, multi-purpose sports facility to accommodate year-round sport, recreation and community activities, the Hands Oval redevelopment will enhance the facility's reputation as the premier Australian Football League destination in the region, providing improved male and female player change rooms, club facilities and an enhanced spectator experience.
