Golden Plains Shire Council has developed a concept design for upgrading the Play Space at Shelford Recreation Reserve and invites community members to share their thoughts on the proposed design.
The concept design includes new play equipment such as an in-ground trampoline, standing spinner with rubber surround, climbing logs, giant basket swing, double playground swing, large treehouse playground tower, bush cubby, and scramble logs and boulders.
Additional features include street furniture, pathways, a gravel carpark with markings and accessible parking bays, an accessible picnic setting, and a 3-metre-high ball barrier fence to the oval side of the Play Space.
Golden Plains Shire Mayor Cr Brett Cunningham encourages residents to share their thoughts on the proposed concept design.
Council has worked closely with students from Shelford Primary School and the Shelford Projects Committee to identify what new features are important for users of the Play Space,” Cr Cunningham said.
Based on that feedback, this concept design has been developed to feature a variety of new, fun and practical play elements for young people in Shelford and surrounding towns,” he said.
I encourage community members to view the proposed design and share their thoughts. Council will then move to advocate for funding support to bring this upgrade to life.
The concept design of the proposed Play Space upgrade is on public exhibition from Wednesday 3 July to 9am, Wednesday 24 July 2024, with community members invited to provide commentary on the proposed design.
The concept design can be viewed on Council’s website: goldenplains.vic.gov.au/consultations and it will also be available at Council’s Customer Hubs, 2 Pope Street, Bannockburn, and 19 Heales Street, Smythesdale.
Following the public exhibition period, the concept design will be used to seek funding support and plan for future project delivery.
