The play space will be ready for use by 30 June 2024 (weather and materials permitting).
Background
This play space was identified for an upgrade in Council’s 2022/23 Annual Business Plan process and $215,000, (plus up to $17,000 for a picnic shelter), is allocated to build it. A portion of the budget will need to cover landscaping and site preparation and the remaining costs will be on the play space elements (such as equipment, seating, and signage).
This play space is classified as a 'local’ Play Space which 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
. - Features: picnic area, sculptures, playground, information signage
Not included in the project is lighting, bbqs, public toilets, parking, shade sail and fencing.
