1 May 2026Parkwood Rd Connection & Offsite Works – Macnamara Neighbourhood 02 – Construction Commenced
Construction is now underway on the Parkwood Road connection. As part of these works, a number of trees along the Parkwood Road / Southern Cross Drive corridor are being removed to allow construction to proceed.
Where possible, larger trees are being carefully transported to the Ginninderry Conservation Corridor, where they will provide valuable woodland habitat and ecological benefits. As part of the project, over 400 new trees will be planted, ensuring long-term environmental benefits for the local landscape and community.
It is anticipated that there may be some disruptions to the entry into Macgregor as the construction progresses. A further update will be provided on this in due course.
We appreciate the community’s patience during this time and will provide further updates as works progress.
