We have a winning design!

16 June 2021

The resounding winner of the "People's Choice Vote", with 45 of the 58 votes, was Option A, a considered and nature-inspired design made of Australian cypress timber by Sydney company Play Workshop. The only change that was made to the design following the consultation period was a 180 degree change to the orientation of the slide, which was requested by one of the neighbours.

Following the vote we placed a play equipment order with Play Workshop. The play equipment is currently being manufactured and should be installed in late June or early July 2021.

We will also be undertaking some landscape upgrades at Cook's Paddock, most of which will occur in late winter and early spring after the playground has been installed, including new turf, new garden beds with rocks, and hardy planting for nature play. We are also carrying out some levelling of the existing paving and will be installing a wider entry gate without steps to improve accessibility for wheelchairs, prams, and less-abled people.
