(b) Improvements that have been made to the Charnwood local shops (Tillyard Drive) and those proposed for Cook local shops generally relate to the accessibility in and around the centres. These include upgrades of various assets to meet current standards in relation to disability access, parking and lighting; and general improvement to the landscape treatments and pavement.
Please refer to table at Question (2) (e) below for specific items.
(c) In relation to the Charnwood Local Shops completion of construction to the practical completion stage was achieved three weeks later than initially planned. This was mainly due to additional time needed to achieve approvals for the lighting component of the project and the upgrade was delivered from within the original allocated budget of $569,000 with savings of approximately $110,000.
The Cook Local Shops are yet to be completed.
