This history of this project

In 2021 we talked with the local community about a proposal to update the play equipment in the playspace at Garrong Park to accommodate the needs of older children.

We held pop-up events at Garrong Park and an online workshop where we heard a range of views about what we should do for the future of the park.

A report with recommendations about the future of Garrong Park went to Council on 11 August 2021. The full details of the Council report can be found here.

At this meeting, Council made a decision to upgrade the playspace to include more playable features for older children.

The full details of Council's decision about the future of Garrong Park can be found here.

Changes to the playspace will commence in early 2022 after the holidays, and finish in mid-2022.

Online Community Forum

On 7 December 2021 we held a forum with community members to talk about the future design of the children’s play equipment at Garrong Park.

The purpose of the forum was:

  • to seek community feedback on the new play equipment design for Garrong Park
  • while managing any potential negative amenity impacts on residents living next to the park.

For more information read Garrong park online community forum - Summary of community feedback (PDF 578 KB). A word version of this summary is in the document library on the main project page.

Feedback from the online community forum has been used to inform the final concept plan for the play equipment. You can see the final concept plan on the main Garrong Park page.
