Stage 1 results and feedback

The Stage 1 survey for the renewal of the Hickey Avenue, McCallum Avenue, Park Street and Redfern Street playgrounds was open between Friday 1 September 2023 and Monday 2 October 2023. Thank you to those who took part in the survey, we received 87 responses. The Parks and Environment team have captured their responses to the comments received during consultation. This can be read in the project document library (link).

Respondents preferred activities:

The information collated was included in a Request For Tender (RFT) for the design, supply and install of all four playgrounds, which closed on 20 November 2023. Each park will vary in play equipment to suit different developmental stages for children ranging from 1 to 12 years of age that encourage age-appropriate exploration and skill development.

During the Stage 2 community consultation (coming soon), the Stage 1 participants will be invited to vote on their favourite design for each playground.

This process is guided by community, available budget and the City's Playspace Strategy (2013).
