One of Mitchell Shire’s most prominent playgrounds at Hudson Park, Kilmore is being upgraded with a contemporary play space. Works are commencing in mid-September with the removal of the old playground and an adjacent ageing poplar tree. Works are expected to be completed mid-December (conditions permitting).

Highlands Road Bridge Replacements Project has been delayed due to high water levels in Hughes Creek and will now start Saturday 24 September. Emergency Services and School Bus Operators have been notified of the change. Once works get underway they are expected to take two weeks to complete. These works were originally scheduled to coincide with school holidays to minimise disruption to school bus routes, however this delay will result in the works continuing beyond the school break.
