Upgrade to Jocelyn Reserve

Late last year, we sought feedback from local residents and visitors to Jocelyn Reserve to help inform a concept plan for a reserve upgrade.

This included:

• Online community consultation via Your Say Manningham which included a 400m radius letter drop to neighboring residents

• Onsite consultation held in November 2018 to discuss the proposed plan

Some of the overall themes of the feedback received included:

1. The park is well utilised with many people walking through to access primary school, bus stops and the local shops, as well as for play or sitting in.

2. Proximity and open space is valued by local residents

3. There was a historical connection with residents living in the area for a long time with memories and/or contributions to the park

4. Request for new path on the southern side of Denhert Street to link through to shops and bus stops

5. Improvements to entrance of Jocelyn Court, including removal of the Agapanthus

6. Request for lighting in park for safety when walking through at night

7. Request to upgrade play equipment

8. Request for additional path furniture including picnic table and seats near playground and drinking fountain

9. Request for bicycle/scooter track around park

Feedback that has been incorporated into the concept plan.
