Larnoo playground upgrade - Consultation Feedback

Thank you for your feedback on the Larnoo Playground upgrade

We’d like to thank everyone who provided feedback on the proposed upgrade to Larnoo Reserve Playground in Doncaster East.

Your input has been invaluable in helping us shape the final design, ensuring the space continues to meet the needs of our local community.

What we heard from you

We’re pleased to share that the draft concept plan received an average rating of 4.1 out of 5, with more than 82% of respondents rating it four or higher.

Key strengths of the proposed upgrade included:

• a large triple swing
• picnic table and bin
• shade sail structure
• new play equipment and nature play elements.

Suggestions for improvement included:

• more seating
• retaining the crocodile sculpture
• increased shade over the picnic area and multi-play tower.

Additional ideas

We also received suggestions to include features such as a BBQ area, water play equipment, a larger shade structure, fitness equipment, a flying fox, public toilet, and water fountain.

While these items are outside the scope of the current budget, they’ll be considered as part of future planning for the reserve.

What’s next?

The final design plan, including the confirmed play equipment, is currently in development and will be available in August 2025.

Playground construction is scheduled to being October/November 2025, subject to contractor availability.
