Playground Update

The proposed location of the adventure playground behind the basketball court has proven a complex issue. Unfortunately the site is not cost effective to remove fill and soil in this area. However, as the area has been previously ‘encapsulated’ under layers of a special fabric, the best and safest option is to leave this in place. We do intend to re-turf this area and return the space into use as a passive area.

We will now consider an alternate location and suitable design for the revised future playground and will consult with the Parents and Friends throughout this process.
