What did we hear?

In September 2020, Council asked the local community to select their preferred play equipment design from three options provided. Each of the presented options had been specifically designed to meet the needs of children with varying abilities and younger children (less than 5 years).

The vast majority of respondents (15 out of 18) selected “Option 2” which included a main play unit, inclusive carousel and talk tubes.

We also received a number of requests for a swing set which has been included in the final concept (due to budgetary requirements, this has been included in replacement of the single rocker originally shown).

We also heard from a number of respondents that the provision of shade is an important issue at this site. While a shade sail will not be included in this project, it is proposed that mature trees will be planted around the existing and proposed playgrounds to provide natural shade.

Council is now in the process of developing detailed plans for construction. It is expected that construction will commence in May 2021.

The final concept plan can be seen below and in the resources section.

Yarning Space Consultation

There is still an opportunity to have your say on how the proposed Yarning Space at Richill Park looks and how it will be used by the community.
