Two Wells Village Green Progress

Published 22nd January 2021

Council is thrilled to provide an update on recent progress at the Two Wells Village Green site – it is abuzz with activity!

Council’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr James Miller, said, “Works are progressing well at the Village Green and the site is fast transforming. McArdle Projects is leading the delivery of this much anticipated public space upgrade and it is fantastic to support local businesses through this funding stimulus.”

Works that have occurred to date include:

Disconnection of power and meter abolishment (undertaken by SA Power Networks)
Final demolition of the existing toilet block, which included asbestos removal
Installation of temporary toilets next to the Two Wells Chamber
Erection of perimeter fencing and signage directing patrons to the temporary toilets and the existing toilet at the Two Wells Oval
Installation of a temporary ramp to facilitate disability access to the Library
Construction of foundation pad for the toilet block, ready for the footing trenches to be excavated.

The community can expect to see a continuous flurry of activity at the Village Green site, with works in the coming weeks to include:

Completion of footing trenches
Installation of all the underfloor pipe and conduits for the toilet block services
Placement of the steel reinforcing
Two stage pouring of the slab and up-stand retaining wall along the side of the library
Installation of the new septic behind the back of the Library
Removal of Stobie pole and undergrounding of power to Village Green and Library.

“Being a growth council brings with it a multitude of pressures and community expectations regarding services and infrastructure. Investment into our public realm is critical. This renewal project demonstrates Council’s commitment to its rapidly growing community that we are well and truly open for business and making things happen”, said Mr Miller.
