TOWN Square is set to be reopened tomorrow at 10.30am.
The reopening will coincide with the distribution of the contents of a Chamber of Commerce time capsule that was buried in the year 2000.
The town square redevelopment has cost about $1.5 million, with 80 per cent of covered by funding through the New South Wales Government’s Resources For Regions program, and Commonwealth’s Building Better Regions Fund.
The upgrade features improved disability access as well as new seating, paving, landscaping, dining areas, shade sails and shelters with water misters.
The Women’s Memorial will also be reinstalled near its original position.
Broken Hill City Council Mayor Cr Tom Kennedy invited all locals to come along and see the new Town Square, and view the time capsule contents.
“We’re really proud to have upgraded this space and finally made it accessible for locals with a disability or mobility impairment,” he said.
“We also want to thank all businesses who were affected by construction, they’ve all been very patient throughout the construction process.
“Thankfully all the heavy lifting is now behind us and the whole community can benefit from a greatly improved public space.”
