Why can’t Council keep both playspaces?

    For this project, Council has resolved to plan for one upgraded playspace at Pole Depot Park. The aim is to create an upgraded and better-quality playspace, rather than spreading the available investment across two smaller spaces. 

    The proposal for one upgraded playspace follows Council decisions made in October 2025 and June 2026. These decisions asked Council to look at local demand, safety, play value, existing park amenities and the best way to renew play equipment at Pole Depot Park.  

    Has the final location already been chosen?

    No. Council is asking the community to review the two options and tell us which location they prefer.


    What happens to the site that is not chosen?

    The site not selected for the upgraded playspace will remain public park space. Council plans to create a landscaped area that could combines: 

    • Simple outdoor fitness equipment 

    • Places to sit, meet and relax 

    • Trees and planting 

    • Informal movement and recreation opportunities 

    • Connections through the park.

    Will the new playspace be bigger?

    The proposal is to replace the two smaller local playspaces with one upgraded playspace. The aim is to provide more play value and a wider range of play opportunities.
