Project Update - July 2023

Thank you for your feedback

The City recently asked for your thoughts on the draft design for a new playground near Azure Terrace in Lake Coogee.

We heard from 24 residents. Thank you for having your say.

What our community said

• Most respondents (83%) are satisfied or very satisfied with the draft design.
• Three respondents are somewhat dissatisfied, whilst one reported being neither satisfied nor dissatisfied.
• Satisfied respondents said the design effectively captures the community’s vision and matches the character of the area, despite the constraints of a limited budget (eight responses).
• Dissatisfied respondents said they would like to see additional play equipment (two responses) and the BBQ removed (one response).
• Respondents’ top three favourite features are:
  1. Shipwreck-themed play structure (six responses)
  2. Shade sails (six responses)
  3. BBQ, picnic setting, and drinking fountain area (five responses).
• Respondents’ top three requested changes or additions are:
  1. Additional play equipment (seven responses)
  2. Shade/shelter over the picnic setting (six responses)
  3. Remove the BBQ (three responses).

Next steps

The City is finalising the design based on the consultation findings. Construction of the play area is expected to begin by early 2024 and will take roughly two months to complete.
