Concept Design Two also proposes to utilise the three sections of Centenary Reserve, currently divided by footpaths, with different activity zones to Option one:
  • The central area, currently with play equipment will become the junior aged (toddlers) play area, with new play equipment, natural play such as log stepping stones, picnic facilities and additional garden beds.
  • The grassed section closest to the light-rail is proposed as an older children’s (school age) play area, with challenging play equipment and landscaping.
  • The large grassed area bordered by Princes and Swallow Streets will feature exercise and fitness equipment, landscaped garden beds, communal veggie gardens and retention of the grassed area for ball games.

Additional landscaping will include predominantly native shrubs and groundcovers with some drought tolerant exotic species and additional trees for shade.


Fencing - New fencing will extend around the corner to increase safety for children playing ball-games .


Raised Vegetable Garden beds - Communal veggie & herb garden beds to be installed for a trial period, located in the vicinity of the sub-station.


Barbecue & Picnic Facilities- including BBQ, picnic table and benches, drinking fountain and a table-tennis table located in the vicinity of the sub-station.


Mural for Substation - an artist’s mural to be painted on the sub-station building walls.


Seats and Bins - Additional rubbish beans and seats throughout the reserve.
