Background

Over the coming weeks, the building in the northwest corner of National Park, known as Wal Young house will be removed following the outcomes of a condition report.

A review of the building's condition was undertaken following an extended vacancy period and revealed extensive damage that would be costly to resolve and determined that the building was at the end of life. As a result, the area will be remediated which will deliver increased green space for the community to enjoy.


Have your say on creating a greener, safer, and more vibrant community space in National Park

National Park is one of our city’s largest and oldest sportsgrounds and open space reserves. The remediation of the Wal Young House site will provide more open space and an area where locals can enjoy the outdoors. It will also help to unlock space for future improvement projects for traffic and connectivity for pedestrians and cyclists.
