Update

The first stage of the redevelopment of Constable Hyde Memorial Garden was officially opened by Mayor Anne Monceaux on Saturday 13 April 2019.

The Garden features a new play space with fencing, a lawned area, a path surrounding the play space and a 4 metre long blue-tongue lizard sculpture.

The lizard was sculpted from one section of a River Red Gum that was removed from Philip Avenue, Leabrook, after suffering extensive structural damage during a major storm in 2014. When standing, it was one of the largest street trees in the City of Burnside.

Local resident Alisha Roberts won a competition to name the lizard. Alisha came up with Tili, as the scientific name of a lizard is Tiliqua. Alisha received her prize of four Regal Theatre tickets from Mayor Monceaux.
