Council seeks input on playgrounds

Consultation has begun for Casey Council’s annual Playground Renewal Program.

Residents can have their say on what they want and need in their local playgrounds – including the type of play equipment they’d like to see – by filling out a survey.

The feedback will help guide future refurbishments and upgrades at selected playgrounds, so that the council can create purpose-built spaces that can be used by everyone in the community.

The surveys aim to get a broader understanding of community needs, including who is using the park and how they are using it.

There will be two surveys available, one for adults and one for children. For children not wanting to fill out the survey they can draw a picture of their dream playground.

The twelve playgrounds that have been scheduled for renewal are:

Banjo Paterson Reserve Playground

Berwick Springs Wetland Reserve East Playground

Bill Hudson Reserve Playground

Bournevale Drive Reserve Playground

Fordholm Road Reserve Playground

Highfielde Avenue Reserve Playground

Hunt Club Reserve Playground

James Alexander Reserve Playground

Melville Park Playground

Merinda Park Playground

Norfolk Drive Reserve Playground

Tara Court Reserve Playground

Over the coming year, each one will be fully refurbished with new equipment reflective of present-day needs and trends.

Visit the Casey Conversations website to provide your feedback and be in with the chance to win one of 12 family passes to Myuna Farm. Winners will be announced via email on Friday 27 August.

Submissions open Monday 28 June and close Friday 23 July.
