FAQ

It's quite a windswept park so we want to increase the vegetation. Our ideas include:

• An ornamental orchard of snow pear trees around the playground
• Two new shelters in the same design as the existing shelters, with access paths
• A double barbecue
• A drink fountain
• AFL football posts for practice
• New sprinklers for existing trees and replacement of any dead trees
• New park signs (including dogs on lead)

We await your ideas to finalise the plan

• We've started cutting down any dead branches on the trees.
• We are merging the two playground areas into one and proving a better path to the playground
• We will fence the park
• We are improving the vegetation by adding some low level native plants and clearing out the dead undergrowth.

The City buys a barbecue for about $10,000 and then installs a concrete pad and connects the barbecue to power, if available. For example, the new BBQ at Rinaldo Park, Coolbellup cost $15,000.  Additionally, the City pays for the cleaning and servicing of its BBQs each year.

Toilet blocks cost about $350,000 to supply and install.  On top of this, the City has to pay to connect to sewer, power and water supply.
