In the 1980s our community arranged for Myrtle St to be blocked off between Pine and Buckland streets.
Later a developer approached our community seeking support for his redevelopment of the then vacant Australia Post depot on the south east corner of Buckland and Myrtle where he planned a block of units.
We agreed that, in exchange for us supporting his project, he would change the design to include a shop/office at ground floor facing the park to make it safer with overlooking from there. We also agreed his developer contribution would fund the park, the design of it and he would build the park, thereby guaranteeing his contributions would stay here.
