Consultation has concluded

We are expanding JW Thomson Reserve in Doncaster to improve access and adding new facilities, following initial community consultation it will now include:

  • A 1.5m wide foot path from Westfield Dr / Grosvenor St to Roseville Av, avoiding trees and further from apartments
  • Solar lighting along the existing path between Westfield Dr and Saxon St
  • 2 Picnic tables and new seats
  • Some extra junior play elements
  • Drink fountain with dog bowl
  • Tree and shrub planting with some citrus trees

This park will provide more open green space for Doncaster Hill locals to enjoy.

    In response to community feedback on the draft concept, we have revised the plans to include:

    • Extra items of junior play equipment to add to the existing play equipment
    • 2 new picnic tables beside the playspace
    • A reduced width (1.5m wide) footpath from Roseville Avenue to Grosvenor Street / Westfield Drive with no lighting and permeable paving under the large tree
    • Location of the new path further away from residences
    • Extra lighting on the existing path between Westfield Drive and Winbrook Court
    • New drinking fountain with dog bowl; and
    • Landscaping with new trees and shrubs including some citrus trees to complement the existing lemon tree

    We anticipate park improvement works will be completed by July 2022, subject to contractor availability and weather permitting.
