Work is under way to transform Backies

WORK is under way at the Backies in Lache as part of the Lache Action Plan.

- 

The former landfill site is being transformed into a green space area for wildlife and residents to enjoy.

The first task was the clearing of a considerable amount of fly-tipped waste. Any future incidents of fly-tipping will be managed through a collaboration between the council and Sanctuary Housing enforcement teams.

Work has begun on constructing an accessible path, installing seating areas and signage and creating a welcoming gate to the eight-hectare site. These improvements are designed to make the Backies a more inclusive space, inviting more people and families to get outside in nature.
