Oakleigh pool dogleg to undergo surgery

26 February 2009. The confusing detour around the Oakleigh Aquatic &
Recreation Centre on the Scotchmans Creek Trail is to be eliminated.

Work to re-route the path will begin soon as part of the $9.21 million
redevelopment of the Acquatic complex. The new trail section should be
completed by November this year.

It will be an asphalt shared footway of width varying from 2.4 to 3.0
metres and will run between the redeveloped outdoor Pool and Oakleigh
Golf Course.

The works will remove the 360m detour around the Centre via the carpark.

==========================================

If inadequate provision for an alternative route is provided during
reconstruction please advise so that McBUG can lobby the appropraite
bodies responsible.
