Westall Way Reserve, Sheidow Park
Consultation for this project was open from 3 April 2018 until 26 April 2018.
BACKGROUND
In 2017, the City of Marion endorsed a Playground Framework to ensure the community’s playgrounds were well-designed, well-located, safe and fun for users.
In the last 8 years, 41 playgrounds have been upgraded and an additional 13 are currently in the process of being designed or constructed.
As part of the Playground Framework, a number of playgrounds will be upgraded and some will be removed to ensure that:
- Current and future playgrounds are renewed at appropriate times to ensure safety of the community.
- Playgrounds are in an accessible location and spread as evenly as possible throughout the City of Marion – this may include removal of playgrounds due to oversupply in a particular area. Additionally, it may include new playgrounds to address a deficiency in an area.
- Council resources are used effectively, in line with Council’s strategic objectives of keeping rates as low as possible whilst providing services that are fair and equitable throughout the City of Marion.
PLAYGROUND FRAMEWORK IMPLEMENTATION
The playground equipment at Westall Way Reserve has reached the end of its life expectancy and will be removed.
We propose to replace the playground with minor landscaping and additional trees.
The existing trees and pathway will remain.
