The new Spitfire Banks Drive-Michael Street Bridge and the first stage of Central Park will be officially opened at an event on Saturday.

There will be a ribbon cutting ceremony and community fun from 10am to 12pm.

“We are very pleased to deliver these major development milestones for the Pelican Waters community to utilise and enjoy,’’ general manager of development Hamish Pressland said.

“Years in the planning, the new bridge and park will greatly enhance the amenity of Pelican Waters, giving added connectivity for vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists and providing active spaces for all age groups in the community.”

Basketball courts are at the new park.

Representing a total infrastructure investment of more than $10.5 million, the bridge will provide another access point to the island precinct, new marina, and marina village.

It will also serve as a gateway entry to the Pelican Waters canal system for boats and other leisure craft.

Meanwhile, Central Park introduces a first for the region in the form of outdoor parkour equipment for climbing, leaping and balancing, along with custom designed basketball and netball court providing opportunities for a wide range of age groups to practice shooting hoops and keep active.

The new park also offers a bocce court, covered BBQ and picnic table plaza raised to overlook a sports field with multi-use goal posts for both league and soccer, feature lighting and large carparks to cater for all types of activities.
