Works are due to start mid-March and take about 5 weeks to complete, weather permitting. The playground will be closed and the path through the reserve will be replaced which will mean a detour around by the streets for about a week.

There is a minor change to the final design with the length of the dry creek bed reduced.

Feedback has now been collated

During November and December last year, we sought feedback from local residents and visitors to Dehnert Playspace to help inform our concept plan upgrade.

From the consultation, we received some positive feedback regarding the proposed improvements.

We also received requests for extra items like fitness equipment and items for older children, however due to location and budget constraints, these were not able to be incorporated into the concept plan for this upgrade.

We expect to begin construction works in March and be completed by end of April, weather permitting.

We thank you again for taking the time to provide us with your feedback.

Thanks for your feedback.

From Wednesday 27, November 2019 to Wednesday 18, December 2019, we asked the community to provide feedback on the proposed Dehnert Reserve upgrade concept plan.

We look forward to reviewing the feedback in early 2020 to inform a final design for the upgrade project.

As part of Manningham’s playspace development program, this site has been identified for renewal due to its age, condition and use.

Proposed improvements include:

• New climbing rope unit

• Triple swing with basket

• Existing slide and spinning pole

• Dry creek bed and bridge

• Picnic table and seats

• Concrete access paths

• New plants and landscaping

Construction works are scheduled to begin in March, weather permitting.
