Background

Consultation for the Sabina Playground equipment went out from 19 September to 17 October 2022. From consultation, we found that the most popular items were the cubby modular unit with a slide, metal swings, climbing net spinner, honeycomb spinner and small seesaw. We also heard from submissions that there was a want for some planting around the edge of the reserve space, the project team is currently looking into this.

What's next?

We've developed a landscape plan to inform playground users and the local community of the new design. We'd like to provide a final opportunity to give feedback before the design is presented to Council for approval.
