Playground and Park Renewals

Council wants to understand community needs, preferences and local knowledge before preparing concept designs. Early engagement helps ensure community feedback can meaningfully inform the design process.

Community feedback may influence:

• Types of play opportunities
• Accessibility and inclusion features
• Seating and shade
• Supporting amenities
• Landscape and character considerations
• How the playground functions and is experienced by users
• Fitness equipment
• Layout

Yes. Following this consultation, Council will review feedback and prepare concept designs. These concept designs will also undergo community consultation. The timing of these consultations will be communicated through Council's website and Your Say North Sydney.

All feedback received during the consultation period will be reviewed and considered by the project team.

Feedback will help:

• Inform the design brief
• Identify local priorities
• Highlight accessibility needs
• Guide future concept design development
• Support decision-making alongside technical, safety, environmental and budget considerations

Not necessarily.

Council will consider all feedback received; however, final decisions will need to balance community priorities with budget, safety, technical requirements, site constraints, maintenance considerations and accessibility obligations.

Council prioritieses playgournd and outdoor fitness equipment renewals based on factors such as asset condition, safety, age, accesibility, community needs, usage levels and available funding.

Projects are identified through Council's asset management and strategic planning process, including the Devlivery Program and Operational Plan, to ensure onvestment is directed where it is needed most and provides the greatest benefit to the community.
