Work has kicked off on improvements along Tuggeranong Foreshore.

Upgrades to the foreshore between Reed Street South and Tuggeranong Town Park follow completed upgrades in recent years to Anketell Street, the laneways and pedestrian and cyclist improvements.

Upgrades the Tuggeranong Foreshore include:

• improving the Tuggeranong Town Park playground with new play equipment and picnic spots
• upgrading the existing Tuggeranong Town Park toilet with new, accessible features
• improving the accessibility and safety of the foreshore path network, including path widening, removal of obstacles, new seating and upgrading lighting
• renovation of the existing boardwalk to improve safety and accessibility
• skate park works to address safety issues and rideability, such as minor resurfacing and replacement of damaged ramp surfaces.

There were more than 657 ideas from the local community during the feedback period last year. The upgrades will improve connections in and around the town centre, improve public access and safety and encourage the community to spend more time in public spaces.

Seven work zones will be set up to allow as much area as possible to remain open as work is carried out. A staging program is available online showing the anticipated start dates of each work zone.

The improvements to Tuggeranong Foreshore are expected to be completed by mid-2024.
