August 2025 Update
Thank you to everyone who provided feedback in the last round of consultation. Following Council's consideration of the feasibility study at the 26 May 2025 Council meeting, Council has made the following decisions:
- Acknowledged the continued advocacy from Chivers Hill shopkeepers and business owners for public amenities to support the Lugarno community
- Noted the challenges identified with the two original locations and excluded them from further consideration
- Requested Council officers investigate a new alternative location further towards Chivers Avenue, near the exit of the car park
- Conduct further community consultation on this proposed new location

Our teams are currently undertaking further investigation on the feasibility of locating the facility further towards Chivers Avenue, near the exit of the carpark.
Once the study is complete, we will invite our community to provide further feedback.
