Windella Reserve Playspace Upgrade

What’s happening?

We’re upgrading Windella Reserve in Doncaster.

Proposed improvements include:

• replacing most of the outdated play equipment with new features such as towers and slide
• creating a nature-based play area
• developing a peaceful resting spot along the Koonung Creek bike trail
• enhancing the playscape with additional tree planting
• retaining the existing swing set.

We’d also love to hear your thoughts on the soccer pitch. Do you use it, would you like it replaced, or is there another type of goal you'd like to see in its place? There is also the option to install a goal at the opposite end of the open area such as a multi-purpose goal, a second soccer goal, or something else.

Where is it?

Windella Reserve is located at 44 Windella Quadrant in Doncaster, along the Koonung Creek Linear Park.

Why is it needed?

We’re upgrading this playspace due to its age and condition, ensuring the park meets the community’s needs both now and for years to come. The upgrade is part of our Parks Improvement Program and will be delivered under the 2025/26 open space capital works program.

When is it happening?

Consultation for this project is open until Thursday 17 April 2025. Once we’ve finalised the design for the upgrade, we’ll provide more information about the timing of construction.

How it might affect you

Windella Reserve will be closed during construction. We recommend using Hampshire Reserve in Doncaster (450 metres away) or Marshall Reserve in Doncaster (560 metres away). There may be occasional impacts on surrounding neighbours, including noise, construction traffic, and decreased street parking. We will do our best to minimise these impacts where possible.
