Construction on a new car park at Worrell Reserve in Emerald is underway, which is expected to be completed in April 2022.

The new car park, which is fully funded by Cardinia Shire Council, will have 156 spaces, including 6 accessible spaces.

“While works are taking place, visitors to Worrell Reserve, the Emerald Library, and the Hills Hub are encouraged to park at the lower Library car park, accessible via Emerald Lake Road,” council said.

“Thank you to everyone for your patience while these works are underway.”

The car park is a part of a larger upgrade to Worell Reserves Football and cricket oval, where a new pavilion was built.

Storm events and Covid lockdowns pushed back the timeline for completion of the project, with works originally due to be finished in December.
