Campaign to pay off as projects take shape

"They have started work on the traffic lights at Marmion Avenue and the two new ovals," Two Rocks Yanchep Residents� Association (TRYRA) president Peter Wimsett said.

He said work had started on a community room at the changerooms at Oldham Park, with the playground removed.

The City of Wanneroo is responsible for the three projects, which include installing traffic signals at the intersection of Marmion Avenue, Lagoon Drive and Peony Boulevard.

That project and the nearby 100sq m addition to the existing Oldham Park facilities were prompted by community campaigns by TRYRA and the Yanchep Red Hawks Football Club for better infrastructure.
