First round consultation feedback update

We were pleased to receive 15 responses to our first round of consultation for the Katrina Gully Reserve playspace upgrade.

This feedback is critical for us to ensure that the upgrade will be valuable for the community.

We have reviewed all community responses to develop the updated concept plan for the playspace.

Some of the suggestions for improving the playspace included:

• ‘Fixing the shade sail’
• ‘Equipment too old and need some shade’
• ‘Expand the sitting area under the shade sail’
• ‘Upgrade of basketball court’
• ‘I would very much like to see a tennis wall’
• ‘Larger playground, bigger slides – more swings’
• ‘Water fountain for dogs’

We also received some recommendations to include a new BBQ, toilet facility, park shelter, lighting and flying fox, but due to the constraints of the site and the project budget, these suggestions will not be explored.

What’s next?

We'll seek a second round of community feedback about the concept plan in May 2024.
