FAQs

    Why is the playspace being upgraded?

    After over 20 years, it's time for a refresh of the Katrina Gully Reserve playspace which will include new play equipment, furniture, landscaping and basketball pad.

    What will the outdoor fitness hub include?

    The new outdoor fitness hub will include various fitness equipment suitable for many fitness levels and age groups. The equipment will provide a complete workout to promote physical activity among visitors.

    Will the existing shade sail be repaired?

    The existing shade sail at Katrina Gully Reserve will be getting a facelift as part of the playspace upgrade. We're also exploring ways to add extend the shade area, including planting new trees within the playspace itself.

    Will the existing Basketball pad be upgraded?

    As part of the Katrina Gully Reserve upgrade, we're proposing a brand-new basketball pad. The current one is cramped due to its location between the existing playground and large tree, so we're relocating it to widen the court area.

    Where will the upgraded playspace, new basketball pad and new outdoor fitness hub be located?

    Subject to further design investigation, the attached consultation flyer indicates where the three main areas will be located. These specific locations have been chosen to optimise the play value and overall connectivity within the reserve.

    Will the existing pedestrian path and shared path be improved as part of the upgrade?

    Both the pedestrian path and shared path will not form part of this upgrade. Any future upgrade to the existing path network will be subject to funding.
