Peace Park in Maddington is set to undergo a $1.7 million transformation, starting in early 2025, aimed at improving parkland facilities on the park’s eastern side and supporting local housing needs in the area.
The redevelopment will see the construction of a new boardwalk, accompanied by newly landscaped areas featuring a nature play zone, planted trees and shrubs, and concrete pathways connecting the boardwalk to these spaces.
After a contract was awarded at the latest council meeting last week to Densford Civil, a Perth-based construction firm, City of Gosnells mayor Terresa Lynes said it was fantastic to finally see the development come to fruition and it will create more housing opportunities.
“I am excited to see this project progressing. Once complete, Peace Park will be a great space for the local Maddington community to gather and relax,” she said.
“I believe that it will open up a few blocks for sale for the public as well, eight blocks in total, so if you want to buy a block of land, keep your eyes open for that.”
Recently, Densford Civil has been working on the Southern River Business Park, the most extensive commercial development ever undertaken by the City of Gosnells, focusing on drainage systems, road construction, and utility infrastructure.
Once started, construction at Peace Park is anticipated to take six months, with completion expected by mid-next year.
