Update

We received 83 completed surveys and, while there were valid reasons put forward for both the 600mm and 900mm fence height, community's preference was for 900mm.

The fence replacement and eco-zoning works will commence in late April 2025.

First, the existing fence will be removed, followed by landscaping for the eco-zoning area. Mulching will follow, preparing the site for planting, which will happen shortly after. Additionally, the grassed verge on Wright Street will be replaced with crushed pea gravel.

The entire works should take 2-3 weeks. During this time, temporary fencing will be installed to keep the reserve safe. Some street parking may be limited due to materials and equipment required. We apologise in advance for any inconvenience.

Project details

The City of Vincent is replacing the fence at Jack Marks Reserve and is asking for community feedback on the proposed height of the fence.

Jack Marks Reserve is located at the corners of Broome, Wright and Turner streets in Highgate.

Vincent will be installing a new homestead style fence at this Reserve, as the existing fence is reaching the end of its life.

The height of the proposed fence can be either 600m or 900mm and we are seeking feedback on which the community would prefer to see there.

The proposal for Jack Marks Reserve also includes some verge eco-zoning:

  • replacing the turfed verges at the western and northern side with crushed gravel and minimal planting
  • converting the south-west garden bed into a native 'entry statement' bed

We will be using bird attracting plant varieties appropriate for this location.
