Consultation Results & Final Design

2 September 2026

Thank you to everyone who participated in the community engagement for the 2026 Playspace Renewals.

Council undertook community consultation between 21 May 2026 and 10 June 2026, seeking feedback on two concept designs for each playspace. These options can be found below.

Parkinson Reserve Concept Options

Gemmell Green Concept Options

Kibby Reserve Concept Options

What We Heard

The community strongly supported renewing the playspaces and told us they value inclusive, engaging and adventurous play opportunities. Feedback highlighted a desire for larger slides, climbing and balancing equipment, accessibility improvements and spaces that cater for a range of ages while encouraging families to gather, play and stay longer. The feedback also provided valuable insights into preferred play elements at each location, helping Council refine the final designs to ensure they reflect local needs, priorities and the unique character of each reserve.

What the Upgraded Playspaces Will Include

Based on community consultation, the final designs for each playspace are below.

We look forward to welcoming residents and visitors back to the playspaces once construction is complete.
