What is planned?

We will be upgrading the park and existing playspace at Calder Reserve in Coburg.

Before any upgrade works commence, we will connect mains water supply to the park that will enable us to install a drinking fountain. We will also be arranging to have the old existing light pole in the play space removed, as this is outdated equipment.

We expect those early works to occur in coming weeks, which may require the play space to be roped off for a short time to allow safe removal of the light pole.

Join the conversation

  • Phase 1: gathering ideas

    First we want to understand how you have used the park and playspace, what works and what needs improvement.

  • Phase 2: draft concept plan

    We will develop a draft concept plan using feedback from phase 1 consultation.

    Coming soon

  • Phase 3: final design

    We will use your feedback on the draft to finalise the concept plan.

    Coming later

How can the community influence this project?

What can be influenced?

  • What features should be included in the concept plan
  • What equipment to include in the play space.
  • Other facilities or activities that could be provided for in the park
  • Inclusion of garden beds for greenery, flowering or fragrance

What can't be changed?

  • The location of the playspace will need to be determined by Council.
  • Very large play elements (like flying foxes) cannot be included in the playspace as there is limited space
  • Dogs must be on leash
  • The following items cannot be included in the park:
    • BBQs
    • Public toilets
    • Shade structure
  • The final concept design must fit within the available budget.
