Community consultation
We invited our community to share feedback to help guide the design for the new playground. We received feedback over 2 rounds of consultation in late-2023 and early-2024. Thank you to everyone who had their say. You can find out what our community told us and view the final design on our Winton Road Reserve playground upgrade page on Your Say.
