New plants to help brighten up revitalised Spalding road and pedestrian connection

Spalding will be looking a bit greener soon after the beautification of the planned new road and pedestrian connection between Bogle Way and the Mitchell Street Community Centre was carried out recently. A hundred seedlings and three small trees were planted in the new open space by a team of staff from the Department of Communities, Centacare and the City of Greater Geraldton along with Community Nursery Volunteers. City of Greater Geraldton Mayor Shane Van Styn said the joint planting day brought many together for a great day of working as a team. “Spalding has been undergoing a lot of changes recently and there are a number of agencies and organisations who have been working on various projects to make this happen,” he said. “Beautifying the vacant land was a great opportunity for everyone involved in revitalisation works to come together and really enhance a public space the community will enjoy for many years to come. “We look forward to working together with these agencies on more small projects when upgrades to the AMC Park and Mitchell Street Community Centre get underway in the new year.” Several aged public houses on Bogle Way and Sullivan Court have been removed to make way for a revitalisation project in Spalding which will see new connections onto Mitchell and Robinson streets.
