Thank you to everyone who provided feedback to the Waterloo Park Concept Plans presented on Saturday 21st May 2011.

Following consultation on the first two Concept Plans (Options 1 & 2) two new Concept Plans (Option 3 & 4) were developed and made available for community comment.

Option 3 left the play equipment towards the front of the park and moved the BBQ area next to the lawn.

Option 4 moved the play equipment towards the back of the park and moved the lawn to the front. The BBQ was also moved to a different location at the front.

The preferred Concept was Option 3.


Feedback received on the consultation day identified that the rubber was valued for exercise as well as providing a practical softfall material for the play equipment. A request was made to maintain a continuous area of rubber to enable a 'circuit' for exercise as well an area large enough for other exercises. The plan has been modified to enable a continuous circuit around the spinner and the combination unit with the option of incorporating the path as part of an 'exercise track'.

Additional boulders have been added to Concept Plan around some of the planting beds.

What happens next?

Detailed Design will commence which involves preparing plans for construction.

If you have any questions regarding the preferred option please contact Lisa Monaghan 9209 6136 lmonagha@portphillip.vic.gov.au.
