Project update April 2025

Construction scheduled

Work on the renewal of the playground in Kings Reserve is scheduled to begin in late April 2025.

Works will be undertaken between 7am-5pm Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays.

Construction is expected to be completed by early June 2025.

Background

This reserve was handed to council by the developer to form part of the Open Space provision for the development.

The upgrade is aimed at enhancing aesthetics by adding a vegetated swale for better stormwater management and plant biodiversity. This creates new habitats with complementary plantings, nature-based play elements, and improved maintenance access, aligned with its classification as a Neighbourhood Passive Park in the Open Space Strategic Management Plan 2018-23.

The reserve contains many established trees and garden features including a gazebo and garden beds with rock walls. The concept plan we have developed includes many new features such as new fencing and a new vehicle crossover.
