About the project
In 2017, a masterplan for a new play space was developed by Landscape Architects. The draft Playground Strategy recommended that diverse play areas are required throughout East Gippsland, and although Eastwood has plentiful open space, there is currently a deficiency of activity areas which cater to the growing population of families with young children, multi-generational ages and abilities.
The area for the play space is adjacent to Eastwood Shopping Centre and Lucknow Primary School, with an active pre-school and new kindergarten located nearby.
Objectives and scope
The objective of the project was to deliver the much-needed added amenity to the residents of Eastwood and greater Bairnsdale, by providing a community space for the residents of Eastwood to socialise - with picnic facilities, shelter, barbecues, an all-abilities play space, and an accessible toilet block.
Consultation and community engagement
Feedback on the concept plan was collated under key themes and has informed the final design. The responses are under Documents - Community Feedback to the right of screen.
Schedule
Civil works awarded to contractors. Construction program to be finalised once the contract has been awarded. Consultation with the school to ensure minimising disruption as much as possible.
Play items and landscaping to follow. This work will be undertaken by Council’s in-house crew. Installation schedule to be finalised once the civil works has been completed.
Funding
Funding for this project is provided by the Australian Government through the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure (LRCI) Program [Phase 3].
