Landscaping works have commenced in the area north of Ford Rd, Shepparton between the Goulburn Valley Hwy and Verney Rd.
The landscaping works will occur Monday to Friday from 7am to 5pm and on weekends if required, with completion of the project expected in June.
Greater Shepparton City Council has indicated there will be traffic management during the project.
The development is part of its North Growth Corridor, identified for future residential development in Greater Shepparton.
“The addition of green space in areas of residential development is an important consideration and ensures the community continues to enjoy a healthy regional lifestyle as the city grows,” council’s infrastructure director Gary Randhawa said.
Council will hold an information session in the coming months for local residents to provide feedback on the project and the design of the playground equipment and play space. Residents will be contacted with further details, council said.
