Assets and Infrastructure Committee - 9 Jun 2026

Topics

• Council backs East Street footpath no-consultation position and orders wider footpath prioritisation report
  Residents in Blakehurst will not be consulted on the East Street footpath proposal now, while council prepares a broader footpath prioritisation program for the LGA.
  It affects local pedestrian access, consultation timing and how future footpath spending is ranked across the area.
• Jubilee Stadium toilet block upgrade changes scope and budget
  The committee noted a scope change and budget adjustment for the Jubilee Stadium eastern toilet block replacement and moved to update the capital works program.
  Material changes to a sporting venue project can affect delivery timing, cost and amenity outcomes for users.
• Hogben Park basketball court lighting endorsed for recreational use
  Council has endorsed lighting at Hogben Park basketball court following community consultation.
  The change extends evening recreational access and could alter local park use patterns.

Decisions

• East Street, Blakehurst footpath - no community consultation at this stage
  The committee carried the motion not to proceed with community consultation on a proposed new footpath on the eastern side of East Street, Blakehurst between Oberon Street and Orana Crescent, and requested a future report on prioritising new footpaths across the LGA.
  Residents in Blakehurst will not be consulted on this footpath proposal now, but a wider footpath prioritisation program is coming later.
• Jubilee Stadium eastern toilet block scope change and budget update
  The committee noted a proposed change in scope and associated budget adjustment for the Jubilee Stadium - Eastern Toilet Block Replacement project, and supported updating the 4-year Capital Works Program for 2026-27.
