Project update: May 2022

Thank you for your feedback

The City recently asked for your input to help shape a new nature play area in Tapper Park. We dropped letters to houses near the park, sent an e-newsletter to Atwell Comment on Cockburn subscribers, and liaised with the local resident group.

We received input from 105 people. Thank you for your having your say.

What our community said

• Main play features: Respondents prefer the mini boat and infant swing.
• Supplementary play features: Respondents prefer the log steppers and interactive play wall.
• Location: Respondents prefer the nature play area to go on the western side of the park (near the existing playground, parking and picnic setting area).
• The majority of respondents said they intend to use the new nature play area.

Prior discussions with local parents found that playground fencing is a top priority, and will be incorporated into the play area design.

Next steps

Consultation is now complete. Key findings have been considered alongside budget and site constraints to prepare the final nature play design. View the drawing in the Document Library here.

Installation of the nature play area is expected to commence in mid-2022 subject to site, and weather conditions.
