On 16 July Kiama Council released a statement claiming that the $4.5 million Hindmarsh Park development will still be completed on schedule despite the poor weather.

“Growth Civil Landscapes have been moving heaven and earth (including a significant amount of mud) to ensure the new Hindmarsh Park playground is ready for the Spring school holidays,” wrote the Kiama Council.

The major features of the development are beginning to take shape in the playground as well as a new set of swings and a rock climbing wall.

Adding to this there is also new street furniture, a bike locker and repair station by the bus stop and, around the stage, the stairs and perimeter path has been completed.

The development is scheduled to be completed by October.
