Domain changes made

Lions Club Leamington Trains

Changes have been made to the Leamington Domain master plan after consultation with Scott Street residents and the Cambridge Model Engineering Society.

Proposed angled parking on Scott Street will become two parallel mobility parks and traffic control options to relieve traffic conflicts, particularly during the netball season, will be looked at.

The toilet block will be relocated to the Wordsworth Street side of the domain.

The steaming bay area at the southeast corner will be rearranged and extra seating and cycle racks installed. The plan goes into the Long Term Plan pot for funding options.
