Lobethal Bushland Park

Consultation has concluded

Update March 2022

Mayor Wisdom was joined by David Speirs MP (financial contributors) and Friends of Lobethal Bushland Park yesterday to reflect on the ongoing regeneration of Lobethal Bushland Park, and officially open its spectacular new play space.

Boasting an area of gentle equipment and sensory play for smaller children of all abilities, a new family BBQ area (with a gorgeous view!), and an exciting tower and equipment for bigger kids, this is a destination for all the family. Check out the new play space here!

Lobethal Bushland Park Masterplan

During July, Council undertook a Stage 3 consultation on the draft Masterplan for Lobethal Bushland Park as requested by Council to further engage primary stakeholders including the Friends of Bushland Park, Community Reference Group and Trees for Life. The outcomes of this stage were presented back to Council on the 24 August in a report in the Council Agenda (Item 12.2, pages 40 - 106). Council resolved:

1. That the report be received and noted.

2. To receive and accept the Lobethal Bushland Park Masterplan Stage 3 Community Engagement Outcomes Report as contained in Appendix 1.

3. To adopt the Lobethal Bushland Park Masterplan as contained in Appendix 2.

4. That the CEO be authorised to make any formatting, nomenclature or other minor changes to the Lobethal Bushland Park Masterplan prior to it being released to the public.

The FINAL endorsed Lobethal Bushland Park Masterplan can now be viewed.

Lobethal Bushland Park Play Space

We are now in the final stages of finalising the contract for the construction of the new play space at Bushland Park, and can also confirm that the design is also now finalised. This design has been created utilising the feedback gathered from the community during the consultation phase earlier in the year.

Further details can be found in our Play Space Library on this page (to the right or scroll down).

At this stage, the site will be handed over to the contractor on Monday 27 September. From this time you will notice fencing going up, logs being delivered, etc, with site preparation to start shortly after.

We are estimating that the construction will be complete by the end of January 2022. Please note that this is dependent on delivery times, material delivery and weather.

If you have any queries or concerns in relation to the Play Space design please contact either Renee O’Connor roconnor@ahc.sa.gov.au or Stacey Dutton sdutton@ahc.sa.gov.au from our Sport and Recreation team.
