Historical information

In August 1966 road construction works commenced on Mount Pleasant Road between Hillcrest Avenue and Wattle Grove. The works involved relining, widening and sealed pavement at a cost of $25,000 and took about two months. In the process a large number of trees including 100 year old gum trees had to be cut down which was cause for some community concern.
