Construction update & new timeline

17 March 2025

A contractor has now been appointed to complete the 2024/25 Playground Renewals for the five playground locations across the city. Based on their proposal, there will be some delays to construction commencement at selected sites. Site preparation and construction for Ray Street Reserve, Josiah Mitton Reserve and West Lakes Shore Oval will commence later than expected, with construction running into (or starting) in the new financial year.

Please refer to the table below as a guideline for the order and estimated start and completion months for each of the playground replacements. These timeframes will be dependent on equipment delivery and weather conditions.
