About the draft design
The City has now completed a draft design for stage one and invites your feedback. The City will consider your input alongside project budget and site constraints, to guide the final design.
Key features of the draft design include:
Additional sports lighting around the southern end, designed to Australian standards
Re-alignment of the perimeter railing to prevent parked cars overhanging the road
Re-alignment of the discus throw circles
An additional 39-bay carpark in the north-eastern corner;
Five trees and the north-eastern side playground and basketball pad will require removal to accommodate the new parking area
The playground and netball pad on the ground's western side will be retained.
The carpark location was selected as it had the lowest impact on existing vegetation and does not require amendments to the local storm water drainage system.
How to participate
Feedback on the draft is open until 4pm Wednesday 15 December 2021.
