Two Wells Village Green Works Commencing

Council, at its October 2020 Ordinary Meeting, approved the final design for the Two Wells Village Green. We are pleased to advise that works on the Village Green have now commenced through the deployment of perimeter fencing to enable preparation of the site.

Through the generous support of the Federal Government, Council will be delivering a substantial overhaul of the existing precinct (adjacent the Two Wells Library) with works to include, amongst beautified landscaping and furniture, new public toilets.

The project will improve the town’s main centre and create a welcoming space for locals, businesses, visitors and the growing population of Two Wells.

Council’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr James Miller, said, “The Village Green will become a significant and vital element of our Two Wells Main Street, once completed. The passive open space, complete with new toilet facility, will transform what is not an overly well-utilised, tired public space into a visually attractive, vibrant, green precinct - a real destination for residents and visitors alike.”

“This investment will hopefully be phase 1 of a multitude of public realm upgrades for the Two Wells Main Street, with further funding stimulus being actively sought through various government grants to beautify the town and, in doing so, attract people, business and economic growth”, continued Mr Miller.

Preparatory works onsite will ramp up over the coming weeks, with Council Members to determine the precise extent of the works to be delivered by the project completion date of 31 March 2021.

Council takes this opportunity to thank the Federal Government for their support in providing the Adelaide Plains community with a further $1 million under the Drought Communities Programme (Round 2), of which a significant amount will go towards the Village Green.
