Victoria Park to shine

An almost throw-away line by Goulburn Mulwaree Mayor, Bob Kirk some time ago that the city's Victoria Park would one day rival Belmore park, seems on the verge of reality.

 

Final plans for a new Japanese garden in Victoria Park have been received and show the development of a unique area between Seiffert oval, the Adventure playground and the Victoria park stage.

 

The gardens will feature maple trees, cherry blossoms, pathways and a gazebo all centred around a koi pond and a system of seven gentle waterfalls.

 

Mayor Kirk is describing the concept as magnificent and says the plan is to start work in August.

 

It is hoped to have the main entrance and some of the works completed by November when a delegation from Shibetsu arrives to celebrate the sister city relationship with Goulburn.
