Project Update
The Final Concept Plan has been amended in line with feedback we received from the community.
Key changes include:
- Park fencing will now link
to the school fencing.
- The park will be fully
fenced, with a gate between the school and the park.
- All seating and the shelter
are now located within the fence boundary.
- The pedestrian footpath
along the school boundary has been removed.
- More playable space has been
created with the park extended to the school boundary.
The project will now progress to detailed design, and we anticipate construction will begin in November 2023.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to provide feedback.
Community feedback
From 18 November to 11 December, we heard from 88 respondents online and approximately 40 people at pop-up events.Click here to read the full engagement report on what we heard from our community.
During this engagement period we heard support for:
- the space to be used as an extension of school grounds during school hours
- maintaining a connection with the school
- more trees, shade and grassed areas.
During this engagement period, we heard concern about:
- the proposed fence separating the school and the park
- access to the school by the community during school hours
- the sporting opportunities provided in the area; students wanted more basketball and soccer facilities.
What's happened so far?
Following a trial period, the pop-up park has proven popular with members of the community so Council is formalising the road closure process and creating a park that will improve the user experience for visitors to the park.
We heard from the community at the following stages to develop the design:
- Inception for design: 5 August – 4 September 2022
- Draft Concept Plan: 18 November to 11 December 2022
