Local parks can include local level infrastructure such as, bins, bench seating, shade trees, pathways, bike rack, open space area, gardens, hydrozoning, interpretative signage.

Local Parks are small reserves that are within a short walk for nearby residents. Local Parks provide passive recreation and social opportunities.

These parks may include nature spaces and playgrounds, with green open space areas. These parks provide green relief in an urban setting and break up the urban form.

Local parks can contribute to local identity for a suburb. Size: 0.4 ha to 1ha Catchment: Within 400m or 5 minute walk. 

We do our best to ensure the old equipment is mostly recycled, with various products seperated including steels, concrete, fibreglass and plastics, and then disposed of correctly. 

Communtiy members are welcome to vote on the digital poll available on this project page. 

They can also visit our team in person on Friday 5 December to see the designs in person, ask any question and poll your vote.
