Consultation has concluded

Project Update: Construction

We're excited to inform you that the construction of the Charleston Play Space has started and is proposed to be completed (weather dependent) by the end of May 2021. The play space design may alter during construction to ensure the best fit for the landscape and equipment.

During construction the play space will be unavailable and we apologise for any inconvenience.

Please take a moment to view the concept plan in the document library to the right.


Draft Concept Plan Feedback Now Closed

Thank you to everyone who has provided feedback as part of this initial stage of designing the play space at Charleston Centennial Park. The draft Design is available in the playground design folder to the right of this page.

Background

This play space upgrade was identified in the Council’s 2019/20 Annual Business Plan and $120,000 has been allocated to undertake the works.

The Charleston play space is classified as a ‘Local’ Play Space. A ‘Local’ Play Space in the Adelaide Hills Council is:

  • An area intended for local play, often equipment based
  • Visited by people who live nearby, sometimes by foot, for a short period of time.

Approximately a third of the $180,000 will need to cover landscaping and site preparation and the other half will be used for play space elements (eg equipment, seating, nature play elements and signage).

Not included in the project is lighting, bbqs, public toilets, parking and fencing.
