Missing links – Hercules Parklands, Dulwich Hill
What are we doing in this area?
The upgrades to the Hercules Street area include:
- A new path and upgraded natural areas in the light rail corridor near Hercules Street (natural creek line to be retained and protected)
- Revegetation with native species and trees
- Installation of new solar smart path lights
- Public art
- Installation of rest stop
- Wayfinding signage
When are we doing this?
Construction of the upgrades and creation of a new Hercules Parklands area started in February 2024 and is anticipated to be completed in 2025.
